18x9 & 18x8 et38 on a GTSt - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Any problems getting wheels of this size onto a 33 gtst?

also what the best tyre size, they need 4, I'm thinking 265/35 for the rear and 225/40 for the front?

many thanks

Simon

Offset of +38 is good for 18x9's on the back, if you want the wheel to sit closer to the guard then better to get +30 to +35.
Offset +38 on the front will also tend towards not having enough caliper clearance.
Tyre wise, a 225/40 front & 255/35 rear combo will give you the same overall diameter, as will 235/40 & 265/35.
