Im trying to run these wheels really soon and im just wondering if i need to roll fenders? I'll be on 15mm spacers conversion and 215/45/17 tires. How much camber should i run in the front and rear? :iono:

any suggestions?

Why are you running spacers? 30+ should already give you plenty of poke.

Because R33 GT-R wheels are 5x114.3mm

Pics?


For me, there is no glide in pulse and glide :p

Post some photos!

To be accurate, these are GTR copies but you'll get the idea

Are the wheels +30, or are they +45 with a final offset of +30 including the adapters? If the wheels are +30 your final offset is +15 which is huge amounts of poke with a 9" wheel.

Also, 215's on a 9" wheel? Yikes.

9" et30 is already poking nearly 5mm in the front. Adding another 15mm you'll definitely need some fender work ide think. That 215 tire would be a must imo depending on ride height. Ide just get a hub conversion for the front.

The 5mm poke could easily be fixed with another degree or so of camber, the 15mm more will probably need pretty extreme camber and/or fender pulling to make it fit.

i run a 9 et30 with a 245 all around. fits perfect with a two finger wheel gap and -2* camber all around. et15 will be rough though

R33 GT-R wheels are 17x9" +30 5x114.3mm

Here is my thread on my wheels, they are 8.5 +14 front and 9.5 +16 rear. The rear is stock camber while the front are what ever stance gave me.

Funny, I just saw a set on craigslist.

By stock camber in the rear do you mean you adjusted it back to stock settings, or just left it alone and let the drop give you whatever camber it was going to give you?

The rear have stock control arms so it never changed since there is no way of adjusting camber with stock parts. On the front picture I just remembered I took that pick with stock suspension and never retook when I got coils. With the coils on now the top of the wheel is 100% flush with the fender, I never touched the camber on the plates. If you want I could retake a pic of how the fronts look now.

If you haven't adjusted it, but are dropped that much then you have way more negative camber than stock. I would bet you're at -3* in the rear (stock is about -1.5*). The lower the car is the more camber you'll have (without adjusting anything), especially in the rear. As the suspension compresses (or you lower it) you get more negative camber, the front doesn't gain nearly as much as the rear though.

Thanks never knew this, I think im maxed out on the rear unless the cold is binding it and not letting me go lower.

wow this looks amazing. and like spitfire said up above, -2 to -3 degrees all around and youll be good, so pretty much natural camber when lowering the car + playing with the camber plates a lil and you should be golden. Good luck, looking foward to seeing this!

any guess as to how much that silver car is lowered by?

While searching around for wheels a while ago, I found this, unsure of how thick the adapter is (they are actual 33GTR wheels as far as my knowledge goes) but:

Looks amazing imo, and doesn't seem like you need crazy camber to get them to fit.

Bringing this back from the dead.

Anybody have legit concrete facts of what needs to be done to make these fit? Don't want to run silly camber.

Yea I have these wheels. I run 15mm kicks adapters with them. I use them as drift spares now, but when I had them all around I ran -3.5 camber front and -2 rear.

Current (-3 camber rear)

oh and as far as what needs to be done, if you dont cut the factory studs when you install the adapters, you will have to shave some metal off the wheel (in the back) to make them fit. This can be the case with a lot of different wheels with the adapters.

Bump from the dead. Thought I would post mine finally.

Also plan on doing the hub conversion at some point next year!
