My LMGT4 are +30 front & +38 rear too.

During accident repair I had them roll the rears, but there's plenty of room there with 255's even without - I just figured 'what the hell'. However, even with 225 on the front I get some scrubbing - particularly on full lock, turning in driveways, etc.

My car isn't super-low but I've been pondering raising the front to try and reduce the scrubbing some. I would imagine it would be worse with 235, but I guess you can always try it out. It will depend how low it is, obviously.

One for the list, 4 door 18x9.5 +26, 245/40 all round Fronts I had to roll and pull the guards, rear I have just rolled the lip a little. Camber is 1.5 front and 1 rear Nismo Stune suspension

Wheels: Work VS-XX F: 18x8.5 +28 r-disc  235/40/18 R: 18x9.5 +32 a-disc 255/40/18 Regarding the fronts: I'm not sure if I needed to get r-disc since there's about 1/2inch 2/3inch gap

Might be a bit tight on the front. I couldn't fit 9.5 +38 on the front it was too inset and was hitting the suspension strut. I went for ; 8.5 +30 on the front 245/40 9.5 +38 on the rear 265/35

Same wheels! Nice!

Hmm, well you see I have 235's on the front atm. But that's with the stock wheels. Still, fairly wide for a 7.5" rim. I never have any issues with them. My car isn't low at all really. Tein Super Street springs, only dropped the car about an inch.

This might be a trial and error process after all :P

Ok got tyres fitted up yesterday. Ended up with 235/40/18 at the front and 265/35/18 at the rear. Absolute perfect fit in my opinion. Wheels fit in perfectly with no scrubbing at all. I think it fills up the guards nicely.

What do we think?

Looks good, I recently just bought a set of silver LMGT 4's like yours too, same everything but 17", and will probably go the same width tyres as you :P

But my fronts get really dirty after one drive :|

Thanks for the kind words! I'll grab some more angles soon when the weather clears up (camera ran out of battery).

Feels great to drive indeed. You can feel the lightness in the wheels when you corner. Didn't really feel any difference in acceleration or response. More so in cornering response. There is slight increased road noise and a slight more harshness in the bumps (but you can't feel any more bumps than I did before, just the ones I did feel, are a bit sharper). But I guess that's a given going to a lower profile tyre. Overall though I love them!

Hi guys, I'm new here and I've recently have gotten myself gotten new wheels for my r34 25gt, 18x8.5+20 in the front and 18x9.5+30 at the rear. The rear sticks out about an inch or less out of the guards, I was wondering if there was a way I could make it stick out less, or are they just too wide?

My bad, wheels are 18x8.5 + 30 and 18x9.5 + 20

knew you had to have made a mistake. i used to have 9.5 x 35 on my rears, they were PERFECT fitment flush with the guards. there's nothing you can do, the wheels are wheels and you can't lessen offset like that. only solution : get new wheels (again)

As above, you can't make them fit any better. Unless you widen your guards! Correct offset for 9.5" rim on the GTT is +38. Mine fit perfectly with no scrub and fills out to the guard line. Your's being +20 means they will sit 18mm further OUT of the guard line. Which as you say, about an inch! Need different wheels is what it comes down to.

I have a few question

im looking to put the varrstoen ES1 18x9.5 front +22 and 18x10.5 +22 for rear.

whats the highest offset you can use that will clear the front calipers?

I was thinking of going 234/40 in ft and 265/35 rears, will it be a big stretch on those tires?

will the rears rub at all?

will I have to roll the fenders?

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
