Will I need any mods or spacers or guard rolling ????

Skyline model = r34 GTT

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 9.5"

Wheel offset = +12

Tyre size = ?

Modifications to fit = ?

Stop being a moron. Go back 1 page, and look. Oh wow there is 9.5+20 there, ON AN R34! Oh and he has written the mods to fit!! It's almost like this thread is full of information or something.

Any many many hours fiberglassing

If you go into the "more reply options" you can upload and attatch, rather than linking via a site.

HI Guys, getting new tyres soon for my R34GTR.

I have Advan 18x10 +25 rims and they do not have the tyres I want in a 275x40 18 , but they have a 285x30 18 , would they fit without scrubbing.

I just went thru every page of this thread :)

I did have 19x9.5+25 with 245s and no mods were required...they are now sold i want jap wheels.

now im tossing up between the following for my r32 gtr:

1). 18x9.5+22 with 265s ('safe' option with gauranteed clearance on full lock & guards)

OR

2). 18x10+20 with 265s (will work with with no mods if i run nitto invo tyres, thx SIR-RB for the advice)

decisions decisions...also looking for other ppls opinions :)

Ok thx for the feedback :)

Would it be optimistic of me to think I can run 265s on 10s without guard rolling or is this simply required from your personal experience?

Where did it rub on your inner guards, on the front which sits directly behind the bumper bar right? What tyre brand are u running?

I rolled the guards myself (on the rear). Previous tyres bashed the lip out on the front guards lol. Rolling is required unless you car is high. It'll probably still scrub.

Yep the front part, because I used to run a bit more caster. Had to dial some caster back and add negative camber up front (around -2deg, -1.5deg rear). Caster is around the 5deg mark.

I'm running Falken FK452 at the moment. Previously had old Bridgestone TS-02 or something with more rounded shoulders so didn't need guard rolling.

If you're worried about not rolling, then get 9" and run 255 wide tyres. I would rather roll and try to cram the widest tyre possible :P.

Model: r34 gtt

Wheel diamiter: 18"

Wheel width: 9.5" all round

Offset: +15 all round

Wheel size:225/40

Hi, I'm looking to buy a set of hks coilovers for my car and I saw these wheels for sale. If I bought these wheels how far could i lower my car before I would need rolling of the guards ? Also I'm not an expert on tires so while I'm posting this will 225's fit on 9.5's without any issues ?

If you leave it stock height with reasonable tyre profiles, you won't need a roll at all. But that offset is fairly aggressive, and if you lowered at all you would need guard rolling and 2 deg negative camber to fit inside the guards. And yes, 225's sit nicely on a 9.5.

Refer to previous page, I have 225/40 on 9.5+20.

i had all my suspension dialed in by heasmans & i am very happy with it :)

i dont want to 'potentially' compromise handling for the sake of running wider wheels...from this, i purchased 18x9.5+22 & will run 265s as i was told this would clear.

now i need to decide on tyres - any recommendations?

nitto invo OR nt-05 sound interesting.

i get mixed feedback on the federal rsr's

Thanks mate :)

Street use really but I want optimum grip due to the power level I'm running...as long as the tyres aren't too sticky where they pick up small rocks and scratch the bodywork haha

Hi mates, first post on the forums.

I just got one of the first two R34 GTTs in my country (Costa Rica!) and I definitely want to change the wheels it came with...

I have read through this thread and a couple others and I arrived at the conclusion that some 18x8.5 +30 front/18x9.5 +38 rear seems like it will work with the all-stock car (please correct me if I am wrong here!)

From that, I am eyeballing the Work Emotion Ultimate Kiwami wheels and I am wondering if these will be a good fit.

Any comments and ideas are really appreciated! :thanks:

    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
    • I have seen enough fire and brimstone from TSBs about roloc disks causing spun bearings that foreign object contamination is top of mind for me. For sufficiently large particles you might be right but usually it’s a distribution of debris and some of the larger particles can also break down and shed bits. If local shops report RTV contamination in a turbo is enough to wreck them I’m taking zero chances if I can help it.
