Hey all,

I'm looking at getting new wheels with the above specs, just wanted to know if anyone has photos of this or a similar setup.

Also how much guard work is needed for these to fit? Will most probably be using 235/40/18 tyres

Cheers

I've got 18x9.5 +35 on the rears and that sits flush. That is with 265 wide tires though. To run a +12 offset and those stretched tires, I think you might struggle. I think you'll need to roll guards and even then it will be a squeeze.

Thanks for the reply guys, very helpful there Sean :nyaanyaa:

I'm currently running 18x9+12 fronts and 18x10+22 rear, very minor scrub comes from the rear during a sharp turn, only coz my guards aren't rolled, though I will definitely be getting the guards rolled if I get the new set of wheels.

if anyone has some photos, that would helpful :)

i run 18x9.5 +8 on the rear of my 33 gtst track car.

now the catch.... i have a LOT of gaurd rolling lol.

Not running much camber though.

Using 265/40 tires and hasnt scrapped once that i know of.

i would probably struggle to hear the scrape but i have been inspecting the tyres often for the tell tale cuts along the ouside edge/corner and so far havnt found a single mark on the tyres.

there is no way 34gtt gaurds are gunna be less forgiving than 33gtst. they will most probably be the same or slightly wider yes??

check the r34 thread in photoprahy section of my car

18x9 +15 18x9.5 +12

Only found the VS KF on your car, unless those are the ones you're talking about? though it's 9.5+17. What tyres were you running with those?

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
