R34 Gt-t Offset Question

[Binky1970]

Does anyone know what the offset of a set of stock 34 GT-t rims is ?? (I haved tried to search but found only error messages)

Next question, I'm looking at a set of new rims which are 17x8 for the front and 17x9 for the rear, both with a +30 offset. Will these fit my 34 GT-t ??

Hey Binky, sorry to interrupt with your quest for the offset... but is that a GTR front lip on your GTT? That is mounted to the standard bar right?

Where did you get it and for how much if you don't mind me asking...

Sorry to interrupt once again

[Binky1970]

came with the car, apparently it was a factory option.

[satanic]

SO JEALOUS!!! They want $300.00 (without paint or fitment) for that same lip!

[Binky1970]

yeah i've had a few 34 owners ask me about it.

I don't know the wheels offsets exactly but I know that wheels that fitted an R33 will fit an R34 properly. R32 are different.

what did the wheels you are looking at come off?

Haven't actually bought them yet, still not sure if they will fit.

I think you should get 18's anyway.

[GTRgeoff]

Meh, 18's suck!!

The Te37's on the GTR rub the arches front and rear, cost too much for rubber, have limited access to semi comp rubber and don't feel as good on the road. Too little tyre, too much wheel = harsh ride. They are also prone to understeer due to the amount of mass away from the centre of rotation.

I'd sell mine in a second for a decent set of 17's with enough cash adjustment.

[Abo Bob]

That's all true but they look better. This is why I have a set of each.

[GTRgeoff]

A matter of preference really I suppose.

Back on topic, I believe +30 will work for the R34GTt in both 8 and 9 inch

[GTRgeoff]

I just had a look at the spare set of R34GTt wheels I have here and they are 225 from side to side on the tyre, so say 215, and 154 from back of tyre to mounting face so say 150. This would suggest 215/2=107 being halfway and 150-107=43. So about 40 offset.

The wheel markings are 17x7 1/2 JJ and another marking simply states 40 which could be the offset.

What the clearances are over the brakes I couldn't say.

+30 should fit fine. The standard GTT wheels are +40 and they sit way in the guards. +30 will see your wheels come out by another 10mm which is not a lot. I once tested a +22 wheel on my GTT and it pretty much sat flush on the guards. Just make sure they clear ur brakes
