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

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?

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

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      If you are genuinely considering trying to get this engineered, I would strongly advise finding the engineer that is happy to sign that off first before you put the hole in your car.  I've seen cars get defected for this and not be able to be put back on the road as no engineer they spoke to was happy to sign if off.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Apologies, while id like to put the MAF as close to the TB and relocate the recirc, this may be too much work. Will most likely end up just putting it on the original AFM spot ( onto/next to the airbox ).  Was going through nistune, found a pretty nifty doc on this. Nistune MAF Notes. Also, i was looking through the bay, and there seems to be a tube/line connected from the A/C to the intercooler piping ( Between the smic and the recirc), what does this do as the crossover fmic piping doesnt have any connection? plumbing? not sure what you call it but the nipple thing ahah.  Also, been reading up more about crossover fmic in regards to the legality of having the hole drilled for the piping, this would most likely need to be engineered right?

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      My advice is if you need a big build done do it in Japan. The yen rate is so favorable and there are shops that can be genuinely trusted and not micromanaged/carefully monitored every step of the way. Garage Yoshida is obviously my preferred option but they're so busy these days and all interaction with new customers has to be mediated through BBL/Toprank now.

      I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body
