hes talking -4 degrees camber on the rear. and has R33 gtr wheels. which as you said are 17x9 +30, and wants to add spacers to add more poke. which in my opinion is unnecessary. but then, im not mexican.

4 degrees is a silly amount of rear camber......mine has mininal camber(not sure how much) but already very slippery compared to stock

thats what i was clarifying however -4 camber on standard arms as previously stated is impossible even with sacking it to the ground...

But your absolutely right camber in rear is completely stupid and doesnt help the car handle at all on the road

Hey all just need an expert opinion on a set of rear wheels I am getting. Long story short, I waited a little to late to get a set of wheels I wanted. Now the store only has rears available in a 18x10 +40. I know this will not fit, I just wanted to know what size spacer I would have to run in the rear in order to make it sit flush with the guard? I also have two offest sizes available for the front 18x9 +24 and 18x9 +30. Which of these offsets will sit flush with the guard with no mods needed. Also, with spacer calculation say the rim is a +40 will a 5mm spacer then make it +35?

Wow!!!!! Thanks for the quick response. So sorry was rushing forgot to mention its a r33 gts-t. How big a spacer would you say is just to big and ya might as well get a rim with the right offset. I was thinking of putting a 10mm spacer on back. or a 5mm. Will a 5mm be enough for the rear wheel to clear the necessary parts?

depending on the wheel size you have on now i would say you would have atleast 25 - 30mm less clearance on the inside of the guard (closer to the strut) and about 30-40mm more poke towards the guard.

complete guess there on rim sizes that you have but i rekon a 10mm spacer will get you out of trouble just fine :)

Right now I am stock. Just wanted to make sure I get the fitment right for the rims I am about to get. To let you know what they are front 18x9 +24 or +30

and rear 18x10 +40 with a 10mm spacer. How does that sound. Which offset should I go with in the front for a flush fitment no mods? I was leaning towards the +30

IMO its always best to test fit or measure to ensure fitment you want.

if you dont want to agressive on the front go the 18x9 +30 and then the 18x10 +40 and add that 10mm spacer. may need to just roll the inside lip depending on tyre sizes but should be all ok :)

with that ull need to do more than roll the inside lip unless ur planning on running some camber or a stretched tyre (or keeping it at stock height).

Hey jjman, what all will I have to do in order to get those wheels to fit in your opinion? To give you an idea with what I am working with the car has rear camber arms and coilovers front and rear. This is a r33 gtst. The rims I have in mind are 18x9 +24 or +30 in the front with a 235 40 tire and in the rear 18x10 +40 with a 10 mm spacer cause the 18x10 +22 are no longer available, with a 265 35 tire. In the front will the +24 be a better fitment and if the have another color available with the +24 in the rear will that be a better fitment? Are those tire sizez ok? Please someone help cause I am about to purchase these rims tomorrow and do not want to get them if they are too much trouble. Do not want to run ridiculous camber in the front or rear as it is a daily driver that will be doing some drag runs from time to time.

18x9+24 still won't poke. That is a close to flush fitment, it will sit about 2-3mm inside the guard. Safe. Running 18x9.5+22 and it is poking around 5mm with 0 camber, your offset is 8mm further inset.

With the 18x10+40 issue, a 15mm spacer will push it out to the same as the picture linked, which is my 18x10.5+30 245/40

If you are going to push it out ^ that far, and slam it, you will need to run stretch and rolled guards unless you want to look mexican.

Can't see the pic as I am to work, but I want to run a 265 35 18 on the back with as flush a fitment as I can get. I don't want any poke just sitting flush with the guard and lowered.

Interesting.

I was thinking about going 18x10+38 on the back of my 33 gtst. Thought i had plenty of room on the inside. What are you expecting it will foul on. Shock / Strut? Need to remeasure...

265 is a pretty big tyre, maybe drop a size but either way you will have to lip the inside of the guard

    • Also, the cause of fuel spills and smells from the top of the tank is almost always the rubber hoses that are up there, not the tank seal.
    • 1. No, as you say you can remove the connectors and fuel lines. Before you do make sure you remove fuel pump fuse and crank the starter a few times to release pressure, and also loosen the fuel cap (just in case the tank is slightly pressurised) as it will pump out the lines otherwise 2. Not necessary but you are right, if it is the factory pump it is at risk of failing after 25 years....Changing it is not hard but potentially not trivial as you have to make sure you have the right pickup/sock for the pump to suit the tank, need to make wiring connections (crimped butt connectors would be fine) and have to mount/adapt the new pump in the right place in the cradle. Not impossible but don't start the job if you aren't confident. Also, the plastic nut that holds that seal in place can be really hard to remove. If you don't have a fuel nut removal tool it generally requires a big screwdriver or similar to bash the ring around a few times before you can get it by hand. Also the fuel lines can be very sticky on the tank lid fittings, hose removal pliers can help or if not twist the hose on the fitting (eg with linesperson's pliers) to break the seal before you try and remove it. Finally, mark the feed and return hoses so you don't put them on backwards and seal them with an m8 bolt to stop crap getting into the lines while working. Add a little grease in the threads of the plastic lid when you go to do it back up as a gift to your future self, and make sure you put it on evenly/not cross threaded.  Having said all that, most likely the lid just needs to be either tightened or removed and put back on without being cross threaded...the seal itself is usually pretty good.
    • Another weekend and another project I have questions about.... I bought a fuel tank sender O ring to install on the car because I'm quite sus on what I've got now.  1. No "whooosh" sound when opening fuel cap 2. If I fill up full tank, there will be a small leak under the car and it comes from the top of the fuel tank, dripping along the side. Stops after a short while 3. Hot days = 50/50 chance to get high as a kite inside the cabin if the car was in the sun for too long This is what I bought: https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/1734279900 My plan was to just replace the O ring but I've got some questions: 1. Does the whole fuel pump assembly need to come out for me to replace the O ring?         Or, could I unplug all the connectors and fuel lines at the top, take off the twisty part (17343) and put in the O ring from the top?  2. Is it a very common thing for everyone to just change the pump whenever doing this?        I see the Walbro 255 gets thrown in a lot but I've got no issues with my pump so far. When I did the tune, I asked the guy to check my fuel pressure and he said there were no issues too. But is it just a good idea to change to the 255 anyway as the old unit may have been in there for so long? The 255 seems to be a direct fit for GTT (I got no soldering iron)  
    • Normal speedtek issues, bin it and go cdoo# or 8hp. So many issues with these gearsets, a mate went through 3 rebuilds and multiple parts with heat, bearing and vibration issues.  
    • I wouldn't go near them, they are rubber seals for a reason. Just chuck new cam cover seals, half moons and the spacers for the screws every decade or two. I add a really thin layer of silicone too and it seems to hold together OK
