joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 they will sit roughly 10mm inside the guards Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/287309-will-these-rims-fit/#findComment-4818010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black R34 GT-T Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Will that look tough? or will modifications be needed to the guards? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/287309-will-these-rims-fit/#findComment-4818114 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEKT1K Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 they will look good, nothing outrageous, but not weak either. recommend some 235/40/18 tyres Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/287309-will-these-rims-fit/#findComment-4819052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black R34 GT-T Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 235/40/18 all round? or 235/40/18 front and like 235/35/18 rear ? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/287309-will-these-rims-fit/#findComment-4819700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten Four Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Well 235 is minimum legal width you can run on a 9" rim and 265 is the widest. I dont think it'll sit in the guards. My mate has just bought R34 GTR wheels for his R34 GTT (18X9 +30) and they sit perfectly inline - fronts slightly out. He's running 225s front and 245s rear. Won't have to roll guards them or anything. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/287309-will-these-rims-fit/#findComment-4819732 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 They will fit. Run 235/40R18 all the way around, they are legal for the rim, will look good on the rim and doesn't effect your overall rolling diameter all that much. They are also a reasonably common size and you can pick up some good tread patterns without breaking the budget IMO (Toyo Proxes T1R, Bridgestone RE001 etc.) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/287309-will-these-rims-fit/#findComment-4821342 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dori34 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 you should fit 245/40/18 with that size & offset. how lowered is your car? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/287309-will-these-rims-fit/#findComment-4821358 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black R34 GT-T Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 you should fit 245/40/18 with that size & offset.how lowered is your car? Its on tein coilovers so i can set it to whatever. But i plan to have it sitting around 1cm under. Like 1cm of rubber in teh guard if possible. So perfect/tough kinda look So you think 245/40/18 all round will get this look? Or will it scrub?

joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 it will fit... go for 235/40/18 all round as its a fair whack cheaper than 245 and the difference in width is absolutely f**k all... you will not notice any extra traction from a 245 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/287309-will-these-rims-fit/#findComment-4821895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunky Munky Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 it will fit... go for 235/40/18 all round as its a fair whack cheaper than 245 and the difference in width is absolutely f**k all... you will not notice any extra traction from a 245 I strongly suggest you go 235/40/18 front and 235/35/18 for the rear. I have this on my R33 and I find the tyres just sit slightly out but not outrageously and they look mean in my opinion.

HEKT1K Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 It's all I have right now, sorry. This is with 235/40/18. i have yokohama s-drives in the same size on the same rim, and they look a fair bit more stretched than this. i know not all '235' tyres are exactly the same width, maybe compare different brands side by side before you buy.
