Thinking of ordering myself two front rims to start of with for my r33 gtst and i am going to get rota grid r wheels. I saw another gtst running 18x9.5 +20 front. I forgot to check the inside of the guard but would this be a perfect fit and not scrub the inside lip? Was a pretty neat fit and am pretty sold on that fitment. Who runs this fitment?

it was on 225/45 rubber and nice stretch

Can anyone give me advice on tyres to fit my 10" XD9's.

Was originally gonna go 255/35/18 but it will result in a sidewall that is a bit narrower than I'd really like, and a smaller circumference than the stock wheels. Plus more $$$$.

Now thinking either 245/40R18 or 235/40R18.

Advice on those two sizes?

you don't note the car it is going on. If it is a GTR (which im assuming as that is a GTR fitment wheel) then why not get some 285's (35/18) on there?

yeah they do look good but that will rub on a gtst. how much depends on tyre size and camber etc.

what offset do you think would be good with say just standard camber and suspension, then what do you think would be the correct offset once running coilovers and playing with camber and having it set up for drift?

R33 Gts-t. More concerned about the rolling diameter (speedo accuracy) than anything. I've got 235 on at the moment and they give good traction. I'm not skimping on tyre quality.

ah, then fitment and the issues with a wheel that size on a gtst is up to you.

meh, there is nothing in it and speedos are designed to over-read the speed.

If in doubt either get the speedo adjusted or just go through/ drive with a calibrated speed sensor to work out how far off your speedo is from true speed.

you do realise that profile isn't actually a mm measurement but a percentage of the width don't you?

the difference will be less than 5mm in height between all sizes you mentioned

he isn't putting on 10 -45 or some hellaflush craze, they are +38's or something.

I thought they were around the +20 mark...?

regardless, 10" is pretty big for the front of a gtst and will need some thought work and appropriate tyre sizing.

LOL yes I know, I'm just not sure if that 5mm extra sidewall each side will make a big difference to the stretch/appearance of the tyre once mounted.

They're +38 and they're going on the back, got 9's going on the front.

well as they are ~4mm higher and 20mm wider they are definately going to look less stretched than the 235/40's

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
