Track Wheels R34

[mrgilly]

Hi all,

Looking for some track wheels for my R34GTT - what can people recommend? I'm looking to get something that will have a wide variety of choice for tyres, so I was thinking 17x9's? Don't want to use spacers at all - had enough of them! Run 18"

Are 16" too small to clear the brakes? I have DBA rotors, pretty sure they are 330mm... Are 16's any cheaper for tyres anyway and would I be able to get a 9 inch wide rim? Obviously 17's will look better

If there's a particular wheel of choice I'd be happy to see a pic!

Cheers

hmmm... no-one?

From other threads previously - 17 inch rims seem to have more tyre range/choice for the track

width not sure however.

I know I struggled for ages to get some semi's for my 16's but kept on searching!

Sure thing

I guess I'll just have to look around for something that fits - thought people might know some fairly common wheel models that are ideal... Will be looking for 8in wide at the minimum (9 would be ideal, rear anyway)

Thanks

17*8 front, and 17*9 will be ideal for track usage.

You can find semi slicks to suit these sizes.. ie 235s front, and 255s rear..

As for track rims.. Most of the Volk Range, Buddy clubs, Work rims etc etc, they are all light weight..

Just use the standard GTt rims with the semis on!

MY car ive got 32 gtst rims for road and my 33 rims with the semi's on

Alsi if you damage the GTt rims - there are cheapish to replace!

try the rota brand cheap and lite weight plenty to choose from

im not 100% sure if 9 inch wheels fit the front of a R34, but from the one i saw today, i would say they do.

go for a 9 inch front and rear and run a 235 semi front and rear.

you dont need wider tyres unless you have some massive hp, and because they are the same size as commodores and falcons they will be relatively cheap for a semi.

i would stick to 17's as well because thats what the car came with stock and you will have some good sidewall flex. you do want some. 18's wont really provide it.

also i dont think 16's will fit the front of a r34, otherwise just get some cheap r32 gtr wheels and run 225-50-16 semis on them

I've got 250rwkw, and while I do have a set of stocko wheels on my 4-dr, I'd need to throw some other wheels on that if I were to use the originals for tracking! Think I may end up doing that anyway...
