Always heard bad things about spacers... for the life of your car, and obviously legality.

Please advise? :)

I'd run them on my low powered daily toyboata but not mah turbocharged beast :thumbsup:

I still haven't got my wheels (won't be for a while now!) but this is some great info. I'm leaning toward the TE37's too, exxy, but i think there one of the perfect wheels for the R34's. That or Lenso D1R's, much cheaper (maybe for a reason?) but look pretty sweet still.

I have ordered some Varrstoen 2.2.1 model rims for my 34GTT.. just waiting for them to come in.

I went with 18x9.5 +22 Front and 18x10.5 +22 Rear.

As my bodykit is quite wide, im thinking these 'should' fill the guards nicely. Anyone think I would need any guard rolling to make these fit in? Here is a couple pics.

Will def take some pics when they are fitted

I'm also struggling with this, im looking at some wheels (19x9 +38 and 19x9.5 +45) and not sure if this will fit my car (r34 gt-t). Any advice? its stock height atm but have coilovers going in soon. Wont have them set too low though so these wheels should be ok? Don't wanna roll my guards or anything like that. :)

I am running +38 rear lowered 2 inches and it is quite conservative. +45 will sit in quite a bit.

Hi-jacking of thread for my own personal gain...

Getting 18 x 9 +18s all round. Rolling required?

Cheers.

Pretty sure you will need rolling for this, particularly if you are lowered

18x9.75 +20 should fit rears fine with just a roll and stretched tyres. Fronts may stick out quite a bit with that width and offset though unless you want to run massive camber

I'm running 18x9+15 front and it already looks mexican spec lol

Just related to this, where can I get front guards (wheel arches) for my GTT? The car didnt come with it cos of the aftermarket front bumper. But I really want it to give it a cleaner look.

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
