After another upgrade on the GTR my old wheels no longer fit.

I now has floating 380mm front and 355mm rears with fairly slim calipers but I now only have one set of 18's that clear the caliper. Volk evolution III's

So question is who has a set of wheels over brakes of a similar size and what brand/make are they??

I dont want to be taking the car around the country side trying second hand wheels on it for the next 3 months. I want to buy a second set and know they will fit.

So far I know Work XD9's dont fit, buddy club P1's are close to fitting, R34 GTR wheels have no hope nore do the Uras NS1 things.

After speaking with Eugene aparently TE37's will fit but there is nothing around atm that id be willing to bash around a race track with.

I dont want imaculate ones as im only going to wreck them but if nothing comes up I may have to do just that.

Thats what Eug said as well.

The Uras ones come close but they are just slightly too small to accomodate the caliper im using. P1's would fit if I took 3-4mm off the end radius of the caliper but im trying to avoid that if possible.

Interesting thread as I am trying to find the largest possible diamter disc/caliper wheel combo for 17s. Would there be much difference between the profile/height of a Motorsport Alcon/Brembo caliper to say your OEM brembo off a GTR?

I'm not sure about now but V8SC used/do? to run a 375mm front disc with 17s (obviously purpose built centre lock wheels).

Yeah I have 375mm rotors wit alcon calipers and have the same issue.

TE37's and LMGT4's are the only things I've found that fit.

Volk Challenge, CE28's, a couple of sets of different Enkies and Stock R34 GTR rims definitely don't fit!

Intersting to see.

We ran 375mm V8 Supercar floating rotors on the 34 last year under 34 GTR wheels, no issues. Custom caliper though.... but I didn't really see where the dimensions of the caliper really differed from, say, an Alcon.

Any more progress with this 380mm disc and caliper clearance issue?? Got a few quiries of my own regarding this issue!

Can anyone give details about or where to find inner rim diameters for these wheels (particually the LM-GT4 and TE-37)

Has anyone here fitted 380mm brake rotor discs with 18's? Which calipers were used? Wheels? etc.

Would 380mm brake rotor discs and 6 pot alcon fit a 19" Nismo LMGT4?

Any feedback would be great, cheers.

    • It doesn't really answer your question...but is the head unit full android or just android auto, are you happy with how quickly it boots and responds, and do you have a link?  If we can identify good Android alternatives it will really help people stuck with Japanese screens. Did it have a separate reverse camera input so you would replace the factory one, or are you just going without now...that would be a pretty big steps back. And finally, do you have a picture of the "wire" that you can't plug in? Most likely it is some sort of aerial that is not too important eg japanese traffic or am radio or something if you haven't noticed a functionality issue
    • haha funny enough I did ask him wtf he had been up to with the electrics....but no answer
    • For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.
    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
