here is a 9.5 rim with 275/35/18 (on the rear only of course being a GTST).

2 things to keep in mind though.

Just because a tyre is 275 (or whatever width for that matter) doesn't mean it is exactly. Iv seen 2 255 tyres next to each other and 1 was over 1cm wider than the other. Same goes for sidewall profile. ALso for rim width too from what iv been told.

And, really how it looks also depends a bit on how the car sits- e.g. offset in the guards, camber, height.

Hey guys is there anyone out there running 9inch wide rims with +35 offset on a r33 gtst i have been researching to see how they could fit with but havent had much luck

Start from page 1 on this thread. Just about every wheel/tire configuration has been done.... especially on a R33 GTST.

Hello. I'm setting up a r33 4 door

I'm gona be using 18x9.5 with 225 40 all round

I'm not sure what offset to use.

My settings will be 0 camber rear and -3 front

(Also) my front lower controll arm is pushed out 20mm for my drift steerin lock needs.

I'm looking for flush or 10mm poke all round

One other thing to think about is I would like the same off set all round so I can rotate at track days when my tyres are getting low.

Any ideas? +22?

How low are you going? Pulling fenders? 4 doors have a different rear quarter panel than two doors so I'm not sure how that'll turn out nor really can help you. Front, suggest a 30-35 or more. If you already added 20 in front because of arm, it'll add more camber and length right off the bat and will affect normal setups cuz it messes with hub location. I have Driftworks lower and uppers. I'm running a 18x9.5 +30 245/40 w/ -1. It sticks out a few but not much. This might be a trial and error adventure for you. Find some buddies with different wheels to find the offset for you. Bribe them with beer if needed.

Curious to know what offset you are running? My 9+22 sits out slightly further than this. Sorry if it has been mentioned. Is it a 9.5 on the front as well? Btw nice clean car.

The rears are 9.5+38 with a 275/35/18 tyre. So yours would be 9.5mm further out (16mm more offset -6.5mm less rim width on the outer edge). Also keep in mind my ride height (fairly low) combined with camber arms running less than .5 degree of camber- so sitting very straight.

Fronts are 8.5 with a 235/35/18 tyre. They actually sit in a bit further than is aesthetically perfect but they do not rub anywhere under any conditions. Though it does in contrast also make the back and the dish look fatter :P

Here are some pics from the front so you can get more of an idea what it looks like.

Yes she WAS a clean car. I am assuming it isn't anymore as it was stolen last year and never recovered. I was praying for the scum to be found wrapped around a pole...

Here is my R33 Skyline GTS-t with 18" Enkei RPF1

Front 18X9.5 + 15. 235 tyre with -3 degrees of camber

Rear 18x10 + 38 (5mm spacer) 265 tyre with -2 degrees of camber.

I could just squeeze my fingernail under the rear guard

Here is a white 33 which out did mine

Enkei RPF1′s – 10.5″ +15 offset wrapped in 255/35r18 (rear) 9.5″ +35 offset wrapped in 225/40r18 (front)

Fronts look like much lower offset than +35. I'd say more like +15, else running spacers. I run 18x9 +30 which would be roughly same as 9.5+35 and mine sit in much further.

Looks tops though, really like RPF01s in good size and offset on R33s. Also agree on your opinion of XD9s (what I have) ;)

Does anyone know if

Front: 18 x 9.5 +35

Rear: 18 x 9.5 +20

Will fit on r32 gtst (gts4) with rolling no flailing, not super low, std camber.

It's a 32 gts4 so I need to run same size and width. Cheers

Most likely yes. Here is a 18 x 9.5 +12 rim on the front of my GTS-t. It is "lowered" on pedders springs and bilstein shocks(still super high) and has no guard rolling. There are no issues with it hitting anything because it is so damn high lol.

Hi all, I'm purchasing a set of rota grids in the next month. I originally wanted 18x8.5 +35 front & 18x9.5 +30 rear. Now the offsets they stock are the other way around. Will this make any difference on how they will look or mods needed. Will they still sit flush?

    • 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
