Wheel Sizes

[Hank Scorpio]

I have an R34 GT-T and will be getting some wheels in from Japan in a week or so. I have been told 18x8.5 +30 up the front and 18x9.5 +38 up the back fits pretty well but I am chasing the pretty much maximum wheel widths I can fit on the R34 with rolled guards that won't cause me any hassle. The size of the wheels will also determine the tyre size(s) I will run.

I either want to run...

235/40R18's all the way around (these on 9.5's should look nice)

225/40R18's at the front and 255/35R18's at the back (slightly lower profile and almost exactly the same rolling circumference as I currently run)

235/40R18's at the front and 265/35R18's at the back (will fit a nice wide set of wheels and will cost my less in tyres)

I also want a nice wide set of wheels as the wheels I am ordering have a bit of dish so the wider the wheel, the greater the dish. I also want to give my car a nice tough stance so a good offset is paramount.

So what sizes can I run on the R34? If I'm going to spend some decent money on these I want the perfect set of wheels.

have a look at this thread to see what other people are running.. there are many variables ie; how low your car is, how aggressive you want your fitment to be etc etc

in theory you could make just about anything 'fit' so it's really up to you to decide how much work you want to do and what look you want to achieve

Thanks, I'll check that out.

Currently the suspension is stock but I'll be getting coilovers soon and will be rolling the guards before fitment. These are the only mods I will do to it that will effect the wheels.

hmm i would probably buy wheels first, then start working your guards / dropping your car to suit.

in any case the thread above has details of what people have done to achieve particular fitments etc, you won't go far wrong.

good luck

rolled guards, you can squeeze 18x9.5 or 10 with high offsets of +38 like what you want.

how low are you planning to lower it?

ride height & camber plays a big part in what fits & what doesn't fit.

330mm front (centre of rim to guard)

320mm rear

18x9 +14 225/40/18

18x9.5 +13 235/40/18

both f+r guards are rolled.

camber im not sure as i didnt have any adj camber arms.
