R34 Gtr Alloys Into A R34 Gtt

[midship]

Can anybody advise me if the R34 GTR rims fit into R34 GTT with or without mods such as lipping

cheers

[DECIM8]

Advice from what ive heard is direct fit .. Lipping required if car is dropped to much..

you will have no issues with them..

[Howie]

Running 34 GTR rims on a GTT here. Sitting at 355mm front 355mm rear ride height. No lipping. Minor scrubbing on the inner plastic guard but only on full lock and going over uneven ground.

Additional... no issues with TCS, or speedometer contrary to what is heard of these forums. Does stick out a few mm from the front however - so may be a legality issue there.

Whats the offset like on these rims? is it the same as r33 gtr?

[n15m0]

34 GTR rims are 18x9 +30 all round.

[Gts-t]

thanks man (Y)

midship, you got your ride already?

The BNR34 rims will fit but it juts out just a wee 'lil bit. On a glance it looks flush with the body actually.

They will fit depending on the tyre size. I dont have a pic of a 34 but I have one of a 33.

so 9" fits at the front... hmm. what about 18 x 9 +18 or +21, not the best offset, but would it be OK?

wrxhoon, are your rims just rims or rims/tyres?

are GTR rims forged?

[n15m0]

Pretty sure GTR rims are forged, hence the price they command. 18x9 +9 or +21 will definately need guardwork unless you plan to ride like a 4WD.

[Howie]

I can confirm it is forged. It has it stamped on the side of the rim also.

Thats not my car in the pic, I took that in Osaka in December 2004. If you look on the windscreen you will see the price in jap yen.

I have a set of rims for sale ( just rims ) GTR tyres wouldn't be suitable for a GTT .

R34 GTR rims are 18x9, 30 offset and they are forged, very strong and light for the size at around 9 kg each.

[midship]

So to cap it all up GTR 34 rims fit the ER34 GTT... what about rubbers? 235/40 all round?

[8110]

Stock BNR34s are 265/35/18

[Howie]

Factory tyres are 245/40 ZR18 Potenza RE040. And yes these tyres are perfectly suitable for a GTT also.

[SS8_Gohan]

i've heard it's not the best to run the same width rim all the way around? but then again, factory GTT rims are 7.5"... maybe it refers to when you're getting quite wide, like 9"

or is it that as long as you have wider TYRES rear to front, it's ok?

i suppose this is coming from a steering/handling stand point...

[SS8_Gohan]

got some pics of your car you could put up Howie? i'm thinking GTR alloys might be a good idea, in terms of a reasonably priced forged rim

[Howie]

From a handling point of view, fats on the back. But no dramas having the same width all way around - just make sure you ditch the factory piece of crap Potenza rubbers though.

These pics are a little out of date... had the car lowered slightly since then.

dan i'll sell you my R34GTR wheels... might have something else in the works...
