I think the rims atm from a quick measure with them still on car so might a bit off are 235/45/17 with a 17x9 +38

Well if that’s the case then it’s only a 2mm difference... to be sure you should have a look at the inside of the wheel spokes.. it will be engraved somewhere.

if you have the measurement correct then 2mm should be fine (as long as you’re not 1-2mm off the suspension lol) just make sure you also check the fronts at full lock both directions.

I just won some Work Meisters,  3 piece SP1.   Plan on seeing if they work with my GTT.   Should be interesting, lol.   Any idea what tires a guy should run? 

Work Meisters S1
5x114.3

18x10+22
18x11+22

Minimum 3 degree camber and ultra stretched tyres ? 235s and 245s

Thanks to everyone's input here.  Been a lot of help reading through this.  I have a bit of a different situation.  I have a GTT with GTR fenders added on.  I ordered 18-9.5 +12 LM GT4s but they don't fit as I think some of the original GTT fender is in the way.  The shop is now telling me to order 18-9.5 +22 up front and 18-10 +22 for the back.  Any thoughts on this?  I don't want to end up with a second set of wheels that don't fit.  Car came with 18-10.5 +22 TE's but they were rubbing a bit so I was looking to change them out.

Thanks

(Just for future reference for other people wanting fitment suggestions)

I've got Work Meister S1 3P's on my 34 GTT.

18x9 +18p front on a 225/40R18
18x10 + 18p rear on a 255/35R18

Fitment is near perfect. Minimal camber in the rear too. Fronts I could probably have gone another half inch wider and cleared perfectly fine. Car is not sacked on its ass though as I hate guard rub. Only get a tiny bit as is if I go over a solid bump with a few people in the car. I have slightly pulled my fenders however.

Strange that they don’t fit. What tyres you running? I have 18x9.5 +20 on my fronts with 235 rubber and they clear easily

maybe you are running too much tyre on the front? 

Otherwise you could get a wheel alignment and possibly adjust camber half a degree

The TE's have 265-40 on them.  I'm not sure what tire was put on the LMGT's when it was test fitted.  I'm having a shop handle all this for me as the car is down for a full rebuild.

A 265 wide tyre should only be running 35 sidewall not 40. This should solve the issue

I’ve decided I rather run more tire and less offset. I’d like ro run 235/40 up front and 255-265/35 rear. Trying to decide if I wanna try to make 18x9.5 +22 square fit or go the safe route and do 18x8.5 +30 front and 18x9.5 +35 rear.

Edit: unfortunately the wheels I have picked out dont have a 18x9 option or I would opt for that for the front

 

Any advice? I’d like to avoid poke if I could. I know 235/40 on 9.5 will stretcn a bit but it’s not too over the top. My car also has GTR brembo’s so I gotta make sure everything clears lol

both options will fit, the square set will look better and more chance of clearing the front brakes depending on the disk type.

Hi Im looking at getting some work GT5 wheels in 18 x 9 +30 front and 18 x 10 +38 rear.  Car is fairly low on BC coilovers and all guards are rolled. Will the 18 x 10 + 38 clear the coilover fine??  Will it sit fairly flush or better off going a bit more aggressive offset. Don't really want to be cambering the wheels or having crazy poke. Just after a nice clean look. 

Should be more than fine.

There's a lot of space in the rear of a 34 on the inside, I don't know too much about the BC's vs other coilovers back there, I have 18x9 +30 all round and have something like 40mm clearance on the inside. It'll poke a litttle on the rear, but 10+38 is a very common size for the rear of skylines in general in regards to that.

    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
    • Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!  
    • While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.
    • Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.
