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
