R34 Gtr Rim Technical Drawing

[LotusGTR]

Anyone got one of these? If not, got the exact internal diameter of this rim?

What you need to know is:

Just about any aftermarket caliper on any rotor up to 365mm will fit inside them. If you run a 376mm rotor you may have trouble fitting all the good gear inside unless you have a specific caliper.

Thanks. CSC 365mm with 6 piston caliper don't fit. I took a rim there and trial fitted. Not enough internal diameter. I know their 355mm kit fits. I know 365mm Alcon fit. I've got the Stoptech templates, but the cutting out of the peice of paper seems a crude way of measuring things.....It's down to CSC or Stoptech for me, so want to know the STs will fit. I've got a lazer measurer so I'll grab a wheel off this weekend and check out the internal diameter and then match that off against the radius info on the ST website. This can't answer the question of lateral clearance, but I'll have to trust the paper tempate for that.

Trouble with ST is there are no people with actual experience with them and GTRs (that I can find).

Still trying to solve the BMC size issue with the STs. Any ideas?

PM BB GTR. He runs the CSC on his R32 GTR with CSC and i would have sworn he was running the 365mm rotor inside his old R34 GTR rims. Perhaps the one they trial fitted to your wheel was off another model car and the rotor hat offset a little different. Though check with BBGTR, but surprised to read that their 365 kit doesnt fit inside the R34 wheel

The cut out method is actually pretty good. Just glue/stick the paper cutout to a bit of cardboard & run it around. There is an old thread somehere with a few brake clearance sheets on its & ID's for rims. Maybe add some of whatever you find to that because ensuring callipers clear rotors can be a pain the arse.

Ant was kind enough to help me out by checking the AP clearance against an 18" Volk rim. The rotor was a 343 by the way.

Yeah, I've spoken to Andrew and his is a 355mm I'm pretty sure. He even sent me an image.
