how would these offsets fit/look on an r33 s2?

im assuming no mods to gaurds?

would fit well and not require any mods to the guards as far as i can tell even when fitting full width tyres to those rim sizes. (235/35 & 265/35). Cant garuantee it will if you plan to dump it on its arse tho...

Also cant comment on whether the spokes will clear the calipers but by the look of the design and the offset it should do.

rears would be ok but the fronts would be swallowed up under the guards with that kind of width n offset- n look shit IMO.

could spacers be used to push them out to fill out the guards more? or would they still look shit?

well spacers are always an option in their own right. but there are several issues with them.

1- they are illegal in most states (defect notice material)

2- it is very hard to get the wheel centred on there well with spacers which = vibration through the steering and excessive wear on your wheel assembly/steering system

3- it can also upset the handling

just thought id post up how i went with the rims:

Fronts: 17x8 +45, 235/45/17

Rears: 17x9 +35, 255/45/17

rears sit flush with guards, fronts sit flush but ended up using a 5mm spacer each side.

make sure she is all bolted up properly n then take it out for a run on the freeway and see if you have any steering vibration. (or does it wander easily or tramline etc)

Hey guys thinking of running XXR 526's on my 33 GTST.

18x9 +35

18x9 +25

Would these for without guard rolling etc? Only thing I'm mildly concerned about is that the spokes may not clear the standard brakes.

maybe, maybe not. at stock ride height probably but otherwise it would be touch n go. Tho u will also get away with it if you run stretched tyres. (but please dont, its sacrilidge...)

Anyone successfully pumped an inch more room out of 33 gtst rear guards?

easy, but there is chance of paint cracking... i'd say i got around an inch out of mine without cracking on the outside at all

great thread ,will post up pics and specs when i get my new wheels . hopefully next week :)

will want to lip them, but that's all

18x9.5 +12 on the front and 18x10.5 +22 on the rears ?i was thinking the rears might need a little flare ?fronts hopefully should be fine with some neg camber witch i'm allready running . but will only know once i get them on .

is this for a GTST? if so you are dreaming. Or crossing the border into mexico in a bad way.

if you can be bothered check thru the 'car parts' for sale section. There was a guy selling rims like this which he ahd on his GTST (red one from memory). There are pics. If its your thing then go for it.

But defect notices are also the cop's thing

i have 18x9.5+12 all round at the moment, and the 10.5+22 is only 3mm more

so yeh... easy fit with a roll/flare or camber. front guard liners will have to be removed

i dont run camber to fit my rears for traction reasons, but with a little pull they fit easily

yeah i'm running 0 camber in the rears and about neg 2 in the fronts , anyways when i get them i will post pics of how they sit before any guard work is done .

And heres it on 18s.

18x9-1 215/40/18 *fronts*

18x10+16 235/40/17 *rears*

248814_10150280508124258_685484257_9075653_4871415_n.jpg

camber; -3deg front / -2deg rears

jjman

i couldnt find the forsale thread but i did find this ,thats the sort of flare i want on the rears and even though my rims will be half a inch wider front and back this guy is running heaps lower offsets ,so mine shouldnt be that bad ?

  • 3 weeks later...

Would 18x9.5 +22 wearing 265's all round fit a R33gtst with rolled guards on rge rear and no liners on the front STD guards?

Camber wise I run -3 on the front and -1.5 on rear with around 350 mm centre of wheel to 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
