R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

[timmy_89]

has OP got wheels yet? details/pics?

[Shoujiki]

Hey mate,

No not yet. I'll be look at maybe next year for my setup. Leaning toward a set of LMGT4's atm. Was thinking of D1R but i just think the Nismo wheels look amazing. Just the price, but hey, you pay for quality. I think i'll be looking at just running GTR sizes/offset if i can find a set in that size. Most people seem to put the GTR wheels on without any issues, unless the car is really low.

LMGT4's are discontinued as well. That's also why they demand the price they do.

But you'll never have a problem re-selling them if you ever feel the need

Just for those who might come along later reading this as I did.

I just purchased Rota DPT's in 18x9.5 +22 .. They have 235/40R18 tyres on them so a little stretch and they clear fine (98 R34 GTT).

The front wheels appear to sit about 1.5-2cm out but the tyre fits the guards easily. The rears sit maybe 1cm if that out so tyre clearance is even better there.

Only suspension mod is King Springs. I rolled the rear guards in anticipation but definitely not needed

No rubbing at fulllock etc or when you hit a hump

No rubbing at fulllock etc or when you hit a hump

the likely hood is yes due to standard suspension travel being higher under load due to the softness of the strut! This will only be minimal tho if coilovers then def not

he doesnt i pm'd him i thought so too but just had to be sure i have been researching about wheels size and offset for almost 3months time to purchase some wheels now.

[TM7GTR]

Opinions will only be given when you specify what rims you are putting on.

Hopefully they aren't gross

Finally got myself a set of wheels! LMGT4's, 8.5/9.5 in 18". Now i'm just considering the tyre sizes.

Rears i'm pretty set on using a 255/35/18.

Fronts, i'm debating between a 225/40 or 235/40. Nismo recommends a 225, but most people say go for a 235.

Also, what's a good tyre to use? I keep seeing alot about Fed 595 SS's or KU31's. Also looking at Sumitomo HTR ZIII's.

[34GeeTeeTee]

I run Fed 595 RSR 235/40 F + 265/35 R which is an awesome combo!

[jrm]

I have LMGT4 8.5 and 9.5 too.

I went Bridgestone Potenza S001 225/40 on the front and 255/35 on the rear - handles amazingly

Best thing about this size is it nearly perfectly matches the factory sizes, so no issues with speedometer being out, etc.

[34GeeTeeTee]

Use the 1010 website calculator and you will find the tyre sizes i have a damn close

[Shoujiki]

Do you have any scrub issues with the 235/265 combo Mat?

I'm having a hard time finding 255's in cheaper brands (Achilles).

[34GeeTeeTee]

Nope, not even close mate! They are spot on! I have run 275's on the back no problem too!

I am assuming your offset is similar than mine... You should be able to get plenty of cheap tyres...

[Shoujiki]

+30 & +38 i've got.

Plenty of 265's around, but 255 seems to be an odd kind of size! Also 235's come in $10 cheaper that 225's in alot of cases. the 235/265 combo seems to be the most popular/common.
