Hey guys im just about to buy some 18" Work Emotion Cr Kai's.

I need to know what will be the best offset on my R34 Gt-t. I want them to fill the guards as much as possible, but do not want the hassles of having to flare my guards.

the fronts i want are 18 x 8.5 and rears are 18 x 9.5

The avaliable offsets is as the table below,

Thanks all.

Give me your current wheel specs and I'll tell you how much each offset will change from the way it sits at the moment.

Everyone's opinion of how 'flush' looks is different.

My current wheel specs are 18x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5 offset +32 (not 100%) tho.

Im running stock suspension at the moment, but will be upgrading to Zeals later down the track.

Front:

18x8.5 +43 will be 11mm more tucked than it is now. Suspension clearance could be a problem with after market coilovers.

18x8.5 +37 will be 5mm more tucked than it is now. Suspension clearance could be a problem with after market coilovers.

The 18x8.5 +30 will be moved out 2mm compared to your current wheels.

Rears:

18x9.5 +38 will be 6mm tucked than current.

18x9.5 +30 will be 2mm moved out.

18x9.5 +20 will be 12mm moved out.

18x9.5 +12 will be 20mm moved out.

You're planning on getting wheels that in the same widths, not hard to just see the difference in offset. If you go to a higher offset, it will be more tucked, lower offset, more out.

If you're planning on running the same tyres, measure the "20mm moved out" from your tyres instead of wheel to see if they touch guards.

after trialling rims on mates r34 gtt (standards susp and no guard work), if they are the only offset options you have

front: 8.5" +30 (or +25 if you want to really fill the guards)

rear: 9.5" +38 (or +30 if you want to really fill th guards....will need to get the guards lipped if you lower it though)

if you want something that looks decent and isn't hanging outside the guard go 8.5" +30 and 9.5" +38, but any offset higher than this will look sunken in

i got work emotion cr-kai's on my car with the following offsets

front : 5 X 114.3, 18 X 8.5 - OFFSET +30

rear: 5 X 114.3, 18 X 9.5 - OFFSET +38

both side inside guards, car's been lowered to almost rubbing the guards with coilovers too

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
