34 Gtr Staggered Wheel Fitment?

[ricknismo]

Is it common practise to put different fitment wheels on 34 GTR's?

I have 9" all round but am considering new wheels.

Some I have seen are 8.5 front and 9.5 rear.

What is preferred and what offset.

18 x what is best fit and what offset ....front and rear

19 x what is best fit and what offset ...front and rear

No! Same rolling diameter will be ok with the 4wd, but i think you will find some pretty heated discussions in here about retaining the same width for all wheels.

The jist of it is, none of the top gtr garages ever use staggered wheel sizes, diameter or width.

[alr33x]

as above.

gtr doesnt work with staggered get same sizes all round.

there is a whole thread for sizes/offsets

[mad082]

going different widths and then compensating with typre profile to try and get the same rolling diameter will probably still result in a slight difference in rolling diameter and probably isn't the best for the atessa system.

if i had an r34 gtr vs2 and money which u clearly have both of i would get 19x10.5 +12 or +15

i believe my man eugen will be able to help u out in this

I stupidly tried this on a gtr once and the atessa system went nuts. Even when you are cruising along slowly, the torque would suddenly be ramped up to the front wheels, and you could see it on the mfd. It felt like the car was tramlining and you'd be fighting the steering on a perfectly straight road.

So been there, done that and never again.

And 10.5" wide +12 to +15 offset sits ideally on an r34 GT-R with about -0.5 deg camber all round. I've pulled to -3.5 degrees on the front and the rims look really sunken in. But with very minimal camber, there's no need to roll the guards and it wont stick out like dogs balls.

i have 19 x 9.5 volk GT-C's on my 34 GTR whats the advantage of going to a 10.5 inch wide rim ? I still have 275/30 tyres which is whats recommanded for 19's on a 33/34 GTR by rays engineering

Yeah I have 19x10.5 +15 on mine and really need to reduce the camber to make them just "right".

I have about 3 degrees rear and they look a little sunken.

The 34 GTR has a wider track in the rear from factory, which is contrary to most other cars, incl 32/33 GTRs, and I personally wouldn't want to make the rear track any wider than it is in relation to the front, to do so could end up with quite an evil handler that would be fairly willing to swap ends once sideways.
