R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

Recommended Posts

im leaning more towards the +30*/35 because i want flush fitment not poke, plus the larger offset will clear big brakes if i ever upgrade.

im only running such a small tires because i have limited funds and dont want to buy new ones yet when i already have some 235's with 80% tread

Offset doesn't determine brake clearance. Spoke design does.

Hey Guys,

This has been really helpful to read through, I'm ordering rims this week from Work, getting Meister s1 3 piece 18x10+31 and 18x11+29

going by what you guys are saying this seems ridiculous, but I would like to know what you think of offset for front/rear, as you can tell I'm going for a big 'dish' look.

I have Yellow Speed coil overs, will be getting a Type R body kit from viva garage, and universal flares to help fitment. Standard breaks for now but looking into a Brembo or Project Mu kit shortly.

Getting my head around offset has been hard, and I'd love to see some pictures of wheels to compare different offset types. I know what look I am going for, so much criticism about how much work I'll need to do, which I am aware of, I just need a basis to go off, and you all seem to know what works/what doesn't.

Cheers, Ellie :yes:

PS: this is the look I am going for, any ideas on the offset?

those wheels on David Lai's 34 are 19×11 -1 and 19×11 +3 pretty sure

if you have a non GTR 34 without any guard work you can fit 18x10+15 with a little poke or around +30 will make it more flush,

ive got 18x10+35 on my rears at the moment (non GTR no rear guard work), they sit a little in with no spacers, 5mm gets me flush and 10mm spacers get me just a tiny bit of poke. but with +35 my rim hits the coilovers if i slam them too much so id advise +30 at the rear max,

for the front i have 18x9+30 but i have GTR front guards so they have plenty of room, wish i went +15 on the front instead. but spacers will help me fill the gap anyway.

thats just what ive found with my 34 anyway, heres some pics for reference hopefully helps a little

5mm spacer in front and rears

How about this setup on my GTT, getting a sweet deal on a forged set so I thought I would consider this....

18x8.5 +30mm Fronts

18X10.5 +50mm (with 2" lip) Rears

car has BC racing coilovers coming, other then that the suspension is stock right now.

Will these work with the appropriate tires? would I need any spacers to make the rears fit better?

+ 50 on the rear is way to big for 10.5's, im pretty sure if i ran them on my 34 id need 30mm spacers for the rim to clear the coilover which would = massive poke resulting in major guard-work or a defect. (less offset should give you a bigger lip too)

im not an expert, just going off my past experience. and it all depends on how you want your wheels to sit.

im using BC coilovers as well and as i said in a above post my 18x10+35 on the rear hit my coilovers if i lower my car too much so i have to run spacers.

if you want a flush look id aim for 18x10+25/30 in the rear and add 5-10mm spacers to give you desired poke/flush look

im not too sure about your fronts as i have wider guards so i have more room then you but 18x8.5 +30 sounds like it would sit pretty well

hope that helps you

thanks for your help!

I actually went to see them, they are actually 18x8 in the fronts and 18x10 in the rears.

Since the seller had the sizing off I imagine he also was not correct with the offset being at +50 either. I could not find on the wheel the offset either.

I will be test fitting them shortly to see how they actually fit on the car, its the only way to be certain.

I'm looking at a set of d1rs in 18x10+41 rear and 18x9+25 front I have rolled guards and nismo s tune suspension, I don't want camber and ridiculous stretch on my tyres, but I want the guards filled those offsets should clear okay and have room for my brakes still?

    • 8v - 2.48ms 9v - 2.15ms 10v - 1.74ms 11v - 1.41ms 12v - 1.15ms 13v - 0.99ms 14v - 0.89ms 15v - 0.82ms 16v - 0.81ms I'm running these values on my RB20 Neo with 570cc Denso R35 stock jets and it's great. Also bought a set for my Legnum VR4, love these injectors!
    • Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!  
    • So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
    • Yeah, so try to post images with extensions that the internet can handle, not HEIC files which only arstyphones can handle.
