R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

I want 18x9.5 inch all round, rears im fine with +38 but for the fronts its hard to find out exactly what offset i would need.

I would prefer no gaurd roll back can do if scraping.

Would +35 front be ok?

im running 18x9.5 + 22 235/40 on the fronts lowered with coilovers and it clears everything fine even on full lock, except for going up inclines(ramps and driveways) with the wheels turned then itl scuff the guard lip (mind you the car could be raised a good 10-15 odd mm to fix that because it has dropped below limit or i could just roll my guards)

it pokes a little bit and given the stretch on the tyre its really a preference on the "stanced" look it gives (it was the biggest tyre i could run under there) i never choose the "thug life"

i wouldnt run anything higher then +22 on a 9.5 wheel on the front to be safe maybe a +24mm at most but that would be pushing it

id stick with a 8.5" wheel on the front and run with the lowest offset so a +30 or some thing that should give a somewhat neat flush to lip look (maybe spacers if your into them)

Need some help im thinking of getting Rota Grid R's....

Car suspension = stock, might want to lower alittle but no guard work if possible...

1. From what I've read for 18" 9.5 with an offset of 35 this will fit the rears almost perfect flush right?

2. I can't get 8.5's with the specific Rota's i want so if i was to get 9.5 what offset would sit flush for the front?

Thanks

9.5 with + 30 would stick out a bit. Trying to fit a 9.5 on the front is hard any chance to run a 9? (i would personaly recomend a 9" on the front) 9.5 is to much because you have to run a stretched tyre to be "legal"

ok so i just did a quick calculation for you and the size for the front would also be 9.5 + 35 BUT the problem is im not sure if it will clear your springs. 9.5 on +30 will stick out about 6mm from the guard and it means youl have to probably have to runn a 235 tyre

I had 9.5 +38 test fitted on the front without a tyre and it was touching the suspension on full lock.

8.5 +30 fits perfect, no guard rub no guard work, normal tyre.

9.5 +30 will probably be quite close to the suspension especially on full lock but it may just fit. However it will poke out and may need guard work not to rub.

Maybe rota does custom orders?

Thanks soo much guys really appreciate your help... I'm thinking I might do this...

Rears: 18x9.5 +35 Rota Grid R (more concave look)

Fronts: 18x8.5 +30 Rota Grid (more flat look)
http://www.rotawheels.com.au/wheels/rota-grid

This way I will clear the suspension...

Hopefully they can do customs it would look better with concave look at the front too

Yeah im not to sure about the mixed matched rims, but i guess you dont really have a choice. Have you thought about saving a little extra to buy a better quailty wheel? My rota wheel cracked after 10k km under normal road use..now i have a set of rotas and a cracked wheel sitting around doing nothing haha

Yeah it's unfortunate I can't get the right size... But I'll try and contact them about it to see if I can get a custom one. I was thinking xxr 527's otherwise. That's unlucky with the cracked rim :(

Definitely a guard roll on the front, back might be okay(no roll) but will probably poke out a lot.

Also those tyres will be stretched on the front.

    • 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.
