18" wheels and anywhere between 225 and 245

18x8" +20 on a 235 tyre

18x9" +30 on a 245 tyre all around is what i run on the front and thats flush to guard no rub no scrub no issues (my car sits slightly higher then most due to my driveway).. so you should have little trouble going that all around (check my photos on previous page)

Hi all,

About to get some wheels tomorrow in the size 9,5j et+26 all around for my R34 GTT with nismo S-tune suspension.

Thread has been great help.

Looking to run 245/35/18 front and 255/35/18 rear. You think I can run this without rolling the fenders or any other guard work?

If not...what size tyre should I run

Cheers from Holland :action-smiley-069:

Hey mate. A 9.5 +26 will have a tiny bit of poke from the guards you may want to run a smaller tyre for clearance issues but you could probably get away with a 245.. my old 18x9.5 +22 had guard rub when going up inclines and full lock that was with lowered coilovers and a 235 tyre.. also worth mentioning make sure you wheels will clear your suspension arms on the front.. mine had a tiny gap between wheel and arm

Cheers good luck

Ps i had unmodified guards.. i would recommend rolling them if your car is lowered with that size wheel and offset

18x9+25 would sit a little inside on the rears if anything. Perfect flush fit in my opinion is 18x9+30, even on that it'll sit in a little on the rears but nothing substantial

Edit: it would stick a little out than in, myyy bad

hey guys, i was thinking of going 18x9 +25 all round, was wondering if it would poke outside the guards considering the front on your ones look pretty flush

To revive this thread, this is my R34 gtt with LMGT4's in 18x9+22 front and back.

Wrapped in 235/40/18 re003's all around.

No camber to them, guards are rolled at the front but probably didn't even need to, there's no scrub at all.

Perfect flush fitment front and back.

More clear photos for you mate, yeah i noticed a huge improvment when i swapped..any photos of your new wheels?

Hey Artic, what front bar/kit is that? Lip looks great on it! Wheels look great also, glad to see a reference as i'll be running a similar 18x 9 or 8.5 + 30 all round when i finally get mine.

    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
