Hey guys,

I'm looking at getting a set of Work Meister S13P wheels in 18x9 front & 18x10 rear, +18 offset all round for my R34 sedan.

Currently I'm running R33 GTR wheels 17x9 +30, all wrapped in 235/45/17, lowered with bc coilovers and guards rolled on all four corners. All guard liners are removed and sits low enough without any rubbing on full lock or while driving. I have 15mm spacers on the fronts and 20mm spacers on the rears so effectively I run +15 and +10 offset on the front and rear respectively.

I plan to run 235/40/18's on them. Just wanted to know if these would fit without rubbing/clears brakes & coilovers, before I go ahead and buy them.

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.

Here's how it looks now:

Hey guys, after countless hours reading other peoples setups I picked up some wheels today 18x9.5 +23 on all four. After test fitting them they seem to poke out alot more than I expected. Can anyone tell me if they'll tuck inside the guards? Car is a series 2 GTST.

Thanks!

You got essentially 'GT-R' sized wheels, of course they'll sit like that.

You can either sell them and get wheels that'll fit in the guards (highly unlikely), or, you can get adjustable upper arms, get a thin tyre, like 225 or 215 or something stretched onto wheels that'll normally take 265 wide tyres, roll/pump the guards, wind the arms so you get negative camber and make them fit.

Fuuuulleeeey seeeek.

I have BNR34 Gtr ride Goode no rubing

Skyline model = R34 GTR

Wheel brand: Enkei rs05rr

Wheel diameter = 18

Wheel width =10.5 all around

Wheel offset = +15

Tyre size =. Toyo R888 275/35/18 all around

Modifications to fit = how ever I did roll out rear and front fenders

You don't need to do any of that.

18x9.5+23 will fit with just a guard roll and 235/40's

Lets put it another way minimum legal tyre on 9.5 rim is 245 so really the answer for the OP is have a think before you "pick up" some wheels and consider whether they will actually fir you car. Alternatively you will have to do what it takes to extend your guards.

ADR's are a blanket rule and that applies to 40/18 only. They differ in other diameters

235/40/18 on 18x9.5" is within manufacturer specs for many tyres including what I ran.

If you were that concerned with ADR's you wouldn't have 18x9.5" rims on a gtst in the first place.

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
