Can we PLEASE PLEASE stop buying rota and varrstoen or any other knock off wheels....

Its like almost paying full price for a pair of Jordan or Air Max knock offs from ebay. You can buy Enkei or other wheels from SAU sponsors for about the same price. If you want any other decent jap brands contact jesse streeter http://jessestreeter.com/

just for this I am going to go and buy more fake wheels

I know this has been overdone a million times but im about 20 pages in and i still cant find someone with the exact fitments im looking for, ive bought a set of te37 super laps in 18x9.5+22 for my r33 gtst and now im not sure what tyres would fit exactly without scrubbing or maybe a tiny little bit worst case scenario, ive narrowed it down to a 265/35 for the rear and 235/35 for the front. Both front and back guards are rolled as well. if any one can shed some light if i can do those tyre sizes that would be great!

also is it true that 35 is the rolling diamater for a r33 gtst or can i go up to a 40 profile

Cheers

been done a million times.

I had 18x9.5+25 with 235/40/18's and low for some time

ric runs this size currently

had to remove liners, roll and slightly pump all 4 guards and tuck the wires in the front right up better.

just buy quality 235/40/18's and run front and rear. then you can rotate etc

I ran Nitto NT05's most of the time with that size and 330rwkw

The 235/35 would be a smaller rolling diameter than the 265/35s. I believe 235/40 is closer to the stock rolling diameter, and also a more standard size I think...

I'm running 235/40 front, and 265/35 rears.

Got any photos? So many people fitting new wheels, not so many posting the results... :(

post-120186-13864970451246_thumb.jpg head lights need a good polish here haha:(

Looks good. Even more convinced I need to go 9.5 +22 all round now.

You were worried about fitment on the rear? Why not just swap them over and try it out?

yeah i did haha, in my earlier post i said i tried it out and it rubbed on the lip just thought it would stick in more on the rear

Just fitted my XD9's, needs more low in the front.

Thanks to Jesse Streeter for the wheels, Motorsport Wheels and Tyres and M@&k for helping me with fitment.

Specs:

-1.5 Degree camber front, 225/40R18 18x9+30

-1 Degree camber rear, 235/40R18, 18x10+38

Guards are untouched, as they left factory.

Ah really haha, weird. I just measured the bottom of my front bar from the center and it was 163mm, what is yours? mine isnt all that low i guess even though its on lowered springs haha. My center muffler is sitting just under 100mm or so :/ need a resonater instead. So your using the same wheels? did you get the lip rolled on the rear coz mine rubbed when i tried it out on a quick drive.

Yes i got all my lips rolled.

Perhaps Alex and Joey can post a link to their cars as both of these guys helped me when deciding what sizes/offsets to get... Alex's car with the gold xd9's was one the best 33's ive seen, his Enkei's were just as nice

Yes i got all my lips rolled.

Yeah i have actually seen this before and have screen shotted it a while ago from the forums. This car helped me a fair bit in my choice. It looks awesome and i bet would feel pretty good.

I didn't know you sold it - time seems to fly by so quickly. I quite liked the pics you had when you had the mismatched front and rear wheels ?

    • 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
