Thank you to everyone within this thread that answered my questions and provided info, and ultimately helped me select my new wheels (width and offset) Here's the end result (minus big brake kit awa

Thought I'd share my setup since there doesn't seem to be much info/examples out there for this particular setup. Perfect for spirited driving on back/mountain roads, not so ideal for daily driving or

Hey guys,

been looking through this thread and other forums for ages trying to decide on a good wheel fitment for an r33 s2 gtst. Seems like 18x9 +20 would be a decent fit for an r33 all around flush fitment that wont foul suspension and can be cambered in to prevent scrubbing on guard liners. Have seen examples of this size in a set of work xd9s (dontyellpl0x) and a set of rota grids (boosted_andy). Would consider anything similar to 18x9.5+30 but it seems that at this wheel size its a bit hit and miss whether or not it will foul suspension/brakes. What wheels are still being made in 18x9+20 (grids and xd9s/d9rs not available in this size anymore) or 18x9.5+30 which dont foul brakes? Dont want to mess with spacers.Want to run 235/40 all around. All guards already rolled ,dont want to bin guard liner.

Cheers guys.

9.5+30 will fit.

Will the car be low? If so you are better to lip the front guards

235 is too small for 9.5 and marginal for 9in.

Hi guys,

I'm looking to pickup a set of these wheels in 18x9 for my R34 GTT:

http://marsperformance.com.au/MARS-MP-37-4x-18-Inch-Matt-Bronze-Alloy-Wheels-Rims-5-x-1143

I don't believe the car is lowered and I would prefer to not roll the guards. These are the tyres I'm looking to fit:

https://www.tyresales.com.au/buy/tyre/kumho/ecsta_le_sport_ku39/235-40r18/1383?q=4

The offset available for the wheels is 15mm and 22mm.

What wheel sizes should I order in order to get a flush fit without having to roll the guards? Will the 235/40/R18 also fit properly?

Thanks

Update: I've been recommended 15mm on the back and 22mm on the front which is what this R34 is using (although on 225/40/R18 tyres):

What do you guys think? Will 235 be ok?

Yes, 235 will be fine.

If you are concerned about legality, I would go for the +22. The 15 will be a fairly aggressive fitment and assuming you are not lowering the car. I have 9.5+20, which is close to your 9+15, and my rims poke both front and back, even with camber.

Thanks for that.

More concerned about aesthetics than legality to be honest... haha. I think the picture above might be 15mm at the back and 22mm at the front however, doesn't look like it pokes out too much?

Depends on what angle you look on. Here is 9.5+20, with some camber. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't change my offset for the world, I think it is perfect, but the cops wouldn't like it that's for sure. If you're only worried about form, go for it. You could run +15 all round if you wanted to. It's pokey, but not mexican.

I attempted to use search for this, but it came up empty.

I searched for a known size, still naught.

Don't think it likes numbers.

So........

Anyone know/ have pics of 18x10.5 +22 on a 32 gtr?

How close are we going to get to guards, suspension?

That front one is deceptive though. You can easily pull the front guards out enough to reduce the poke.

I had 9.5+12 up front with no flaring and less poke than that :)

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
