Modifying GTR rims to fit GTS-T

[Ronin 09]

There has been alot of people who have wanted to fit rims with a R33 GTR offset to a GTS-T. Does anyone know if it is possible to remove or shave a little (eg 10mm) off the wheel where it mounts to the hub to change the offset? So in effect bringing the wheel back inside the arch...?

mate had r33 gtst with r33 gtr wheels. It was fine.

All the posts i've read and people i've spoken to think that they will sit too far outside the guards; has anyone got a picture of what it looks like with R33 GTR or R34 GTR rims?

Its better if you can shave 10mm off the hub/disc mounting surface if possible cause there usually worth lees than the wheels plus there is usually a bit of metal to work with.

Shaving wheels is a bit scary.....might make them a bit weak

ive got gtr wheels on my gtst they stick out bad !!About 1 inch from the wheel arch ,So i cant even lower my car

im yet to ask about getting the offset changed as i dont really like the wheels anyway.Need a upgrade to 18in very soon

Thanks Mik, but i daresay there wouldn't be alot of meat on the hubs? Anyone have any idea if this can be done and how much meat can be taken off the hub?

[Ronin 09]

Boost, i think that answers the question. There is no way an inch could be taken off the hub (even half from the wheel and half from the hub sounds like too much), so i guess i'll just have to save up and get those Volk racing rims...

Good idea safety first!(better to be sure than bodgy)

What the...

I have R33 GTR rims with semi slicks I use for track work, and they fit perfectly. I have NEVER heard of any offset problems with fitting R33 GTR rims to an R33 GTS-t.

R34 GTR rims however will NOT fit, because they are 18x10" rims and are just way too wide for the front guards.

[Ronin 09]

Merli, got any pics of your GTR rims on your GTS-t?

[predator]

What size are standard R33 GTR rims?

[slip]

I have seen and driven the car i mentioned in my first post, and as merli said, THEY FIT PERFECTLY. Makes the car look fantastic too.

[Merli]

R33 GTR rims are 17x9" rims.

I'm sorry, but I don't have any photos of my car with the track rims on... I'll have to take some.

Bonkers or Red900ss took a photo of my car at a trackday that they posted on here, but I can't find it, and I didn't save it

i spoke to a suspension place and he told me that i can lower my car and it wheel camber so they well fit under.Not sure if it will be okay though.Also mine arnt original gtr wheels ,there sparco's that have a offset to suit a gtr ,Not sure on the width they may be wider than stock 33 gtr ,thats why they stick out so bad.

i run 17x9.5 inch rims on my gtst, but as said earlier, I think its the offset that causes the problem, not the rim width.

Thanks everyone who has replied to the post.

Thanks Dark, i remember looking at that thread. That R33 has 34 rims on it though, and they do look a bit too wide. Someone surely has a R33 GTS-t with GTR rims with a pic?

I guess i should just try a set on and see how they fit first.

[Mr. Oizo]

do you mean.. an r33 gtst.. with r33 gtr wheels on it..

coz i think i've seen it before.. or they might have been immo rims that just look like gtr rims

[Ronin 09]

Sorry, yeah, R33 GTS-T with R33 GTR rims...

[Mr. Oizo]

hmm..

well.. if ur gonna do it..

and you succeed.. tell me about it..

and good luck!!
