is your GTV a sedan? im looking at going 9.5+20 all round'

What sort of work will you be doing to your guards? Spoke to the guys at OTR today, was looking at 9.5 +22 and they said that it's gonna need quite of guard work to fit as well as needing camber kit.

Thought I'd post up the fitment and info if it was going to be of some help to anyone.

This is what i decided to go with

18x9.5+35 front

18x9.5+20 rear

With 8mm spacers all around.

Front and rear guards rolled.

Front inner splash guard cut to (try) prevent scrubbing.

For tyres: federal 595's 235/40 (tiny bit of stretch)

All around happy with the look.

Some pics.

Thanks for the pics - I'd take the spacers off the back if I was you. The rear look to be a bit too far out. Front looks perfect (+27)

If they made 9" +27 or 9.5" +30 I'd be on them in a heartbeat.

no worries mate.

I wanted the rear to sit out a bit more to the front so its perfect for my tastes lol.

I checked on offset calculator just then, you will have 7mm more inner clearance than my wheels currently, but the wheels will sit 5 mm less.

So by purely basing this on my experience and offset calculator, i dont think you'll need to run spacers.

Hey guys, sorry to hijack the thread but I was just wondering if I'd be able to get away with 18x8.5 +30 front and rear on my R34 25GT Coupe without having to have any guard work done. What size tyres do you guys recommend?

Can fit much more agressive wheels then that. 225/40R18 is your tyre friend.

How about 9.5 on rear and 8.5 on front? Or just 9.5 front and back without guardwork with +30 offset or is that stretching it? Mainly looking into getting the most aggressive fitment possible without doing any guardwork.

I know the R34 GTR wheels would be a great fit depending on tyre size, you would get full lock on the steering wheel and they are 18x9.

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
