What Rims Will Fit>?

[tez-BOT]

hi all,

im trying to find some rims for my r34, and to be honest im finding it a lil bit hard becoz ppl keep telling me that 'those wont fit on ur car' . i dnt really know if they are full of shit or wat.

im looking towards drifteks or that sort of style.

i dont want to really spend a whole heap either tho

i found some i quite like RPM RS-GT (black with chrome lip) they only came in 19*8.5 with a offset of 38. i was told that this would not fit my car and the brakes would be in the way. does anyone know if this is true>>?

can anyone give me some ideas or lists of rims that would fit my r34 ( preferably rims with five or 6 spoke, shadow chrome or black with chrome lip).??????

or may a some websites to visit with in victoria that have good selection??

thanking you in advance.

They dont' come in a different width? I've got 18x8's on mine, pretty sure the offset is +38? I really can't remember but it fits pretty much the same as before. I made sure before buying them that the offset and tyre combination would be correct. Not just so that it clears the brakes, and doesn't sit in or out too much, but also so that you don't get defected.

Also remember that your R34 25GT Sedan has 16 inch wheels. You'll need a much lower profile tyre as well on a set of 19s to keep your rolling diamater as close to stock and therefore having an accurate speedo.

Bigger wheels do fill the the guards nicely on R34's, but to be honest I wouldn't want to add too much unnecessary weight on an N/A. Going from the stock wheels to the 18x8 alloys made a very noticeable difference! 19x8.5s in a non-lightweight wheel would be way too heavy on an N/A Skyline in my opinion.

Lightweight jap wheels do cost a lot more, though sometimes you can get a second hand set for decent value when compared to the heavy weight show wheels on the market, and if I didn't get my wheels for the price that I did, I'd have invested in a used set of lightweight Japanese wheels. If you just want some nice wheels to style your ride and not worried about the effect it will have on performance, then I guess that won't be an issue.

Also you mentioned you didn't want to spend a heap? I saw those RS-GT rims at a local wheel and tyre place, and a wheel and tyre package at that size would have been around the 3k mark at least! Bigger wheels are more expensive. More common sizes are "generally" going to be more affordable. large diameter tyres cost $$$

Anyways, these questions are best answered over here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Su...g-tyre-f59.html

You'll get all the answers you need and once you know what width/offset combinations work it should make things a lot easier for you with buying a new net of wheels
