Do 19x9.5 Sit Wide Enough On A R34 Gtr?

Hi, most of the Rays wheels seem to be 19x9.5 or 19x10.5

The 10.5 inch wide ones are NOT street legal in NSW (more than 1 inch wicder than stock wheel)

So, do the 9.5 inch ones sit wide enough, ie: flush with the guard or do they sit too far in? Can you get an offset to sit wide enough in 9.5 inch?

Thanks

You've got a wide choice of offsets with Ray wheels. Check out their site and see what's available. Once you have a list of the offsets for that width in front of you, learn how to use the offset calculator (if you haven't already) and see which offset will make the wheels most flush with your guards.

Sorry I can't help any more, I'm not familiar with R34 GTR guards.

Edit: The standard wheel sizes are 18x9 with an offset of +30. Going wider with the same offset will give you a small guard clearance and inside clearance. Lower offsets will result in wider stance (if they both were the same width).

Just play around with the calculator and measure how much guard clearance you've got. Also don't forget to think about tyre sizes.

9.5" +12 (LMGT4 or TE37 are 2 examples in this size) will sit well in your guards.

10.5" +15 or +18 are a bit better.

Use a wheel offset calculator to see the difference (google).

Your stock R34 GTR wheel size and offset is 18x9" +30, but they sit way to far inside the guards IMO. You need to come out about 25mm to fill the guards on the stock wheels.

I wouldn't worry about legality and rim width. Technically 19x9.5 +12 aren't legal either because they increase the track (outer measurement from the edge of the two rear tyres). You are definitely not likely to get busted for either because its too difficult for cops to remember and also its not 'top of mind' when defecting someone.

The only way to be legal is to have sunken battle ship offset which looks really crap (like stock) and 1inch wider and bigger rims. In which case you will look like you bought your rims from tempe!

Volk Racing have a new 19X10 inch 'Gold Tuning Fork' style out there. Series R30 I think. Good size dish and gets just to the guards of a R34 GTR with 265 tyres.

Should be on HJC Sports website.

should have gone 10.5 +12 much much better looking, i have them in te37 on my gtr :rofl:

Cant be bothered to get defected for having them to wide. The cops are stringent where I live.

9.5 +12 with 265's will still look the goods

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.

      Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...

      My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.

      I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
