Hi Everyone,

Just wanted some information for some widths and offset as i am looking at buying some new wheels for my 34 coupe.

Any idea what sizes will fit flush with no guard work as i dont want flared guards.

I have been told 17x8 +35 for the front and 17x9 +35 for the rear will sit nicely.

Can anyone lend a hand or even better share some pics??

Dude, 18's for a GTT!! I have 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 with no guard work at all...... Look in the offset section for exact details of what you can and cant have!

They look like ~+28. Let me know how close I was Matt :P

OP, the sizes you were originally given are rubbish, 17x8 is smaller than your factory wheels. I've got 18x9.5 +22 on the back and 18x8.5 +28 on the front on mine:

Keep in mind that guard work depends on how low you want to go. I had to roll all my guards because I went very low, I'm almost tucking rim at the back. I don't reallyyyy recommend this, it looks baller but it's a pain in the ass. If I could be bothered, I would raise it back up. These wheels had no trouble fitting without guard modifications when my ride height was taller:

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
