Recently bought a 33gtst s2 and looking for some wheels. I found a set of 18x9.5 et35 just wondering who else has run this spec and any clearance issues or mods needed?

If you searched this thread you would have found that out.

Skyline model = R32 Skyline GTS-T 4-Door

Wheel diameter = 18

Wheel width = 9.5

Wheel offset = +38

Tyre size = 245/35 (This is a must...)

Modifications to fit = None, but it would be recommended to get some wheel spacers, I am thinking of running 2.5 in the fronts just to push them away from the suspension just a tad as it's a bit close for my tastes.
Stock suspension, fenders have not been touched what so ever.

Has anyone had the A disk on a r32 gtst with R33 gtst brakes on it?

I have A disk meisters with r32 gtr brakes on the front, clears the calipers no worries.

O disk rear.

What offsets? Any pics mate?

 

18x9 +22, 18x9.5 +24, they're on a c35, a mate had the same size on a 32 gtst, but needed more camber and guard work than the laurel, pic maybe not relevant haha

general rule of thumb:
If you want stock-ish fitment,

8 to 8.5 +35 front
9. to 9.5 +38 rear
These are Nismo sizes for RWD Nissans.

From that baseline, you grab a tape measure an figure our where your new set of wheels will fit.

@Adz2332 please specify what car you have, what body panels, and what modifications you will be running.

 

GT-R owners like me have it easy, but RWD owners, have a bit more calculations to run.

 

You can obviously run "GT-R" sizes, which would be 9"+30. But that heavily depends on your preference.

This rant is completely ignoring any StanceNations specs/looks.

Thanks mate.

32 gtst. Stock panels but don't mind pulling them ever so slightly as it hasn't gone to paint yet. Stock arms etc with coils.

I was hoping I could get any of the specs below to fit the front to

Hey guys any recommendations for fitment for a stock 94 GTR R32 

Want to order work meister s1 3p and would like a nice looking flush fitment. Plan to get MCA coilovers to set ride height etc. Just confused on offset, brake clearance etc. 

Never purchased after market wheels so I'm a bit concerned since it's a long wait to order and I don't want to order the wrong specs.

The other thing to watch in the meisters is they have different faces to cater for different brake sizes. eg. i run an 'R' disc on the front (biggest clearance for brakes) and the 'O' disc on the rear. it doesnt impact size or offset, its just the shape of the rim face that changes.

Yep I did some more research and found this out also. Still hesitant on ordering until I find the right fitment for a stock GTR r32

    • I have engineer in my job title One of or motto's though is "we make and we break"
    • This is actually 2 whole different trains of thought that need to be addressed separately. No, as Matt says above, "Engineer" is not a directly protected title. A lot of guys who just do mechanical design via CAD, with or without even some sort of associate diploma in engineering, often have the job title of "Design Engineer". A train driver can probably still describe themselves as an engineer. But, to usefully get employment with anyone as a proper engineer, you're going to have to have at least the necessary and relevant degree qualification. You're not going to get a job as an electrical engineer if you have a chem eng degree, unless you can demonstrate x number of years of working in that capacity, sufficient knowledge, etc. Having the degree is at least in indication that you've seen the relevant text books, even if you haven't read them (like pretty much the last 10 years of graduates!). To be a self employed engineer.....you could get away with quite a lot pretending that you're suitably qualified, without actually being a proper engineer. But, you will find yourself unable to work for a large section of the client space because a lot demand CVs and capability statements when considering contracting for any engineering work these days. Insurances too. If you're not a proper engineer, it will be much harder to obtain proper PI insurance. Insurance companies have gotten hip to that. The "Professional Engineer" thing is a thing in Australia. If you have the right qualifications and experience you can apply to the relevant engineering top level body (mostly Engineers Australia, the less said about whom, the better), to be assessed and approved as a Chartered Professional Engineer, CPE. There are high bars to get over and a requirement for CPD to maintain it. The RPEQ thing is similar-ish, in that you have to demonstrate and maintain, but the bars are a little lower. It is required to be RPEQ in order to sign off as an engineer on any engineering design in Queensland. The other states haven't fully followed suit yet. There's "engineering" and there's "engineering". Being an engineer that signs off on timber (or even steel) frames for housing projects, council creek crossing bridges, etc, is a flavour of civil engineering that barely warrants the name, description and degree. That would be soul crushing work anyway. Being an automotive engineer working in the space where you have to sign off on modifications to cars and trucks would also be similarly soul crushing. At least partly because of the level of clientelle, their expecations, depths of bank balance, etc. And that brings us to your second question. No, we do not have professional engineers "do vehicle inspections". Well, not the regular roadworthies, etc etc. That's done by mechanics. There might be some vehicle standards engineers at the various state govco inspection stations where cars go to get defects cleared and so on, but that's because they (the cars) are there specifically for defect inspection and clearance and so the stakes are a little higher than on an annual lights and brakes working check. But, if you modify a vehicle in Australia, you have to get it engineered. A suitably qualified (and effectively licensed, which I will get back to) automotive engineer will have to go over the application, advise on what would be required to make the mods legal, supervise some parts of the work, inspect and test the results, and sign off. The "licensed" aspect comes from there being a list of approved engineers to do these things in each state. They have to jump through hoops set up by the govco vehicle standards divisions that mean only the suitably qualified can offer to and approve such mods.
    • It's got a problem Prank... It looks like both washer spray caps have fallen off this car... 😛
    • Meh, it's only got to last another 10 years or so until you'll be forbidden to drive it. Keep it dry and forget about it.
    • The title of Engineer is not protected. However different states have different rules about what an Engineer requires to operate. Engineering for a motor vehicle modification is very different to engineering for a bridge, electronics, etc, including what that engineer needs as certifications.   In Canberra, "Engineer" is the loosest category with basically nothing stopping you calling yourself and engineer and designing a bridge or building. From what I've reviewed, QLD has the strictest requirements through RPEIQ.
