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

      Should I use rust converter on this?

      By PranK · Posted

      So I removed as much as I could from both sides. The shop vac did a great job of clearing 99% of it. I got it all as clean as I could and then absolutely drenched the whole lot in the rust converter. Tonight or tomorrow I'll hammer it again. The cavity must be close to 400mm in length and surprisingly I was able to get it right to the back.  I'll quickly reassemble and then pretend I never saw it. I'll post pics (for me to ignore later) soon.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I have always resisted the urge to go silly. 8" wide wheels and street friendly spring rates? Check. (Let's not talk about the steadily increasing spread of spherical joints across my suspension!!) Stock turbo, run at 12 psi? Check. Lasted for~?10 years before it died. Highflow put on rather than seizing the opportunity to go G45. You don't need 300 rwkW, let alone the more massive numbers that seem to be essential these days, to have a car that is already way too powerful and fast for a streeter. ~250rwkW is fine. I've never exceeded 200, although I will sneak up above it if and when I manage to get my finger out and do what needs to be done to use the highflow's capacity. You don't need $10k worth of CF bits glued onto the outside. You don't need razor sharp ankle cutting front splitters. You don't need the car to be 2" off the ground. You don't need flawless paint, mirror finished wheels, brand new indicator lenses, etc etc. All these things just make the car impractical and will cause you pain when they get damaged, which is inevitable for a street car. A few nice additions are good. Good seats are good. A nice stereo is good. A/C is good! (46° on the road yesterday and my A/C is degassed again. Was moderately traumatic driving home!) The main reason I stick with a mildly modified old Skyline is that I have had it for >25 years, the mods are the rolling result of 25 years of things dying and being upgraded opportunistically, coupled with a few "just 'coz" ones. And I hate almost all modern cars. If I was a young buck starting out now.... I wouldn't bother. Cars have a few years left where there is any possibility of interest or fun. Thereafter there will be no such thing allowed or possible. Any time, money and effort spent now on a project would just be a waste.
