Can anyone confirm if these sizes will be a good fit on an R34 GTT Sedan, without the need for spacers, guard roll etc.

DTM Rush wheels

18 x 8.5 +35 fronts

18 x 9.5 +35 rears

I will look at putting 235's on the front and 245/255 on the rear.

There have been a few threads in the past, but no-one has actually gone through with their purchase of the wheels or provided anymore info+pictures.

Cheers

they will fit

but since you asked for a "good fit" no they will look shit house.

Checking the 1010 wheel offset calculator, the best fit in this size for my car would be a 28mm offset for 8.5 on the front, then this would look good? and for the 9.5 on the back they would need a 42 offset would that be correct?

Annoying how the site selling these wheels says perfect staggered fitment for R34 GTT.

I guess they mean they will clear the front calipers.

So when you say they will look 'shit house', they will stick out more than they sit in, making them look at bit tard?

no they will sit in, if they were sitting out it would be good. have a look in the fitment thread for what sizes others have used im sure you can go a bit wider / lower offset if u want to fill the guards if not get what u have chosen

I always use the r34 GTR wheels as a reference when i am looking for wheels. The r34 rims are 18x9+30 fronts and rears. These seem to sit pretty flush on the GTT's so if you had only 8inch wide rims you would want a lower offset say +20-25 if they are wider you may want to get a little higher. There are plenty of pics of GTT's with the GTR wheels so you can get a feel for what they look like and how you want your car to look.

Try this thread, a few in there: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...er-t311136.html

It all depends on what you want? Yes they will fit but will sit in and not look very agressive.

Also come's down to how low the car is now, and how low you plan to go.

Thanks for that link, very helpful.

How about this for fitment on the GTT 18X9 F/R +30, would this suit my needs better?

18x9 +30 is what R34 GTR rims are, an excellent fitment, not over the top but still looks good. Can fit a 245 on the front if you want to remove the inner liner, and can fit a 265 on the rear if you want to roll the guards.

IMO if you dont want to do guard mods 18x9+ 30 with 235/40 will fit well at any height.

235's are so cheap and I don't really want to roll the guards just yet.

Looking to purchase Rota Boost - Gun Metal in 18x9 F/R +30 - R34 GTT Sedan, Midnight purple in colour

(I was thinking silver but reckon that would look to bling!)

245's on the rear would be nice, but you reckon guards would need a slight roll to accommodate.

If I go through with the purchase and once fitted, I will definitely be adding pics to that thread!

rkn just buy what your happy with cos everyone has a different opinion ill tell you to get phat wheels and make them fit no matter what, someone else will say go conservative stick to 30+ offset so really how do you want the car to look is the question.

Pretty much spot on.

I have a 34 sedan with 18x9.5 + 15 i love the look of it, but really its not pracrical, car needs to be slammed to fit. 18.x 9.5 + 25 to me would be perfect for that I want.

but for 90% of people i think what you want (the rota's) will look real nice.

Thank you everyone for your input on the wheels, I decided to purchase the ROTA Boost 18x9 +30's as the price was right for me!

Still have to purchase tyres but they are online in NSW for $120 each for Federal 235/40/18's at the moment, so very cheap.

Once wheels are on the car I will post up some pics to http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...er-t311136.html

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
