    Thanks! in the meanwhile I found another set of rims, which come in different offset.

    I think I wil go for this setup:

    car: r34 gtt coupe w/ stock fenders

    front: 18x9 +35 with 245/40 tyres

    rear: 18x9.5 +35 with 265/35 tyres

    The car is stock atm but I will lower it a bit with coilovers before I change the wheel & tyre setup.

    This setup will probably fit right?

    Should be sweet, only one way to find out ?

    I had Work Emotion T7Rs fitted yesterday and am stoked with the results.

    - Nismo/Bilstein factory suspension

    - stock guards with no intention of rolling them

    Front: 18x8.5 +30 (wheel weight 10.01kg if you're interested), 235/40/18 BS-007A

    Rear: 18x9.5 +38 (10.13kg), 255/30/18 BS-007A
     
    I haven't been for a spirited drive yet, but no detectable scrubbing at all so far.

    of course there’s not gonna be any scrubbing issues when you’re riding around town at 4x4 height ?

    Thank you!

    9j +32 on the front it is. If I put a 255/40 on it would I have any issues with clearance or rubbing? I want to keep the fenders stock without rolling them. Would a 245/40 be safer?

    235/40 or 245/40 is best for an 18x9 up front. +32 offset will sit well.

    once you move up to a 255 tyre you are meant to drop to a 35 profile. I found 255/35 to be a good size for the rear but if you can fit wider then go for gold. Fatter tyre at the back always looks good

    Lol Ryno. Nice looking 34. The wider rears will def look good when you get em on. Share another pic when you get there.

    Just realised I typed in my post. I'm looking at 18x9.5 +35 rears. Let me know how you go with yours.

    I'm trying to get a tiny bit of poke with a small stretch to the tyre look. But I do not want to roll guards or go aggressive camber.

    A ROTA Wheel salesman suggested 9.5 +20 all round. Not too keen on that.

    I spent hours scrolling through the other thread but there really isnt a heck alot in there for 34's. I guess what I'm really looking for are the maximum and minimum offsets for the 3 widths I'm considering. 8.5 on fronts, 9.5 or 10 on rear.

    18x9.5+20 is a common size but fitment all depends on your suspension.

    i had it fit well on my 34 sedan With rolled guards but a few pages back - someone else said it was too pokey.

    If you want to keep factory guards unrolled then I recommend 8.5 up front and 9.5 rear, somewhere around the +25 or +30 offset region

    265's can fit. I have them all round on an 18x9 +30.

    They will pretty much only fit in that space. I also had them in the past with 18x9.5 +27 (because the tyre was mounted in the same spot, centrally speaking).

    Mind you, you will want to roll guards, make sure your liners are absolutely clipped in, and potentially relocate the driver side loom under the right/driver side front quarter panel, because you can/will rub through it if your springs aren't ultra rock hard.

    Will your life be a hell of a lot easier with a 8.5in rim and a 255? Yes.

     

    Was moving the loom simply a matter of tying it up higher? Or did you have to disconnect/ re feed it to the outside of the chassis like in your pic

    Thanks for the info.

    Would you reckon the same setup with +40 offset will fit? Or do I need to go to 18x8.5 in the front?

    a 265 is far too big on the front and with a +40 offset you’ll likely have issues clearing suspension - especially on full lock.

     

    8.5 is better if you don’t want stretch tyres, a 235 will fit nicely. +22, definitely not +40 or the wheel will be far too recessed inside the guards

    I guess the rear quarters on the coupe poke out 10mm further than the sedan's rear quarters

    I always thought the coupe rear guards were wider. 
    I also had 2 different guard rollers tell me the sedan rear guards could be rolled but not pumped as it buckles the door latch and affects the rear door - unlike the coupe

    That is bizarre. I have 18x9 +30 and I need rolls to clear..

    Also the rear on the 34 pokes out more than the front. At least it does with the Sedan, perhaps the coupe IS different!

    (I have 265 tyres on all 4)

    Strange as the fronts definitely poked more from the guards when I was running 9.5j +20 square set up on my sedan. Pics above with the xt7’s should confirm.

    must be difference in coil overs?

    any chance of 10.5 +30 fitting on the rear of a r34 sedan?

    and 9.5 +23 front?

    It will sit 2.5mm out more than the photos I posted above with the bronze work xt7’s

    below is a couple more pics of my sedan with 18x9.5j +20 fronts, 235/40 tyre

    18x10.5j +25 rears, 275/35 tyre.

    as you can see the tyre is poking out a bit too much at the rears and caused scrubbing which resulted in me getting 2 degrees negative camber as opposed to 255/35 tyres which would be a better solution and also match the stretch on the front

    I bought that specific set couple months ago for my 34. The tyres I went with where 235/40/18 on the front and 255/35/18 on the rear. Easily could go 265 on rear. I will say I dont think the offset is aggressive enough though. If I could go back I would get a more aggressive offset for the rear. 

    20191109_161826.jpg

    Agreed but I believe it is a fairly safe size if you want to mount fat tyres

    the white r34 is probably running spacers.

    to get that flush finish with some tyre stretch it’s best to use a 9.5 wide wheel with +15-20 offset. You can make a 235 stretch nicely and still fit a 255 at the back. Seems to be a fairly common size amongst most brands

    Hey guys,

    Looking at getting some of these late in the year, JDMconcept told me that this customer had the 18x9.0 +30 and 18x10 +38 but weren't sure on tyre size. Is the owner on here or anybody know what he would be running?

    nissan-skyline-r34-gt5.jpg

    Looks like a 245/40 front and 265/35 rear

    might be 255 rear but 265 should fit easy, could even probably work a half to full degree positive camber if you’re making some power to put to ground.

    always best to check clearance to your suspension as that will be the deciding factor

    Update same car same tune just different dyno emoji6.png

    Hey man, can you confirm how much psi the turbo is running at?

    did you need the 10mm spacer to put it on the stock manifold?

    I have a hks 2835 Kai internally gated and making 300kw on 19 pounds, (e85) wondering if I can get a bigger  spring actuator to hold around 22 pounds or if I bite the bullet and upgrade to this instead.

    im also running a Pfc but gonna upgrade to a link with flex tune as the pfc boost controller is letting me down.

    1170cc injectors on the stock fuel rail. Any reason you went forward facing plenum and fuel rail upgrade?

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    Your idea of 'fit' is different to others (and different to mine, which is also different to others)

    10 +38 is a relatively common size at the rear of the R34.

    With a square setup, the rear of the R34 pokes more than the front does, which was a surprise to me when I put on a square set of rims, or at least it did on my own car.


    Like all things - What do you want to do with the car? This will determine what kind of fitment you really want. Talking 225 on 10's means I'm not the best person to advise as I am a more 265 at the front on a 9in rim kind of guy.

    But making it fit is a question of maths and geometry really.

    shit man, the coupe must be different to the sedan because im running 10.5 +25 on the rear and im about 7mm from touching the coilovers lol. +38 id have no chance.

     

    i guess these things are best to just lie under the car with a tape measure

    The wheels have 215/35 and 225/35 on them. I’m ok to roll fenders but if it’s gonna be sticking way too far out i’d rather not waste the money.

     

    thanks for the advice guys. Maybe i’ll try and find 18x9.5 +22 and run staggered tires

    That doesn’t sound right for a 10.5. I’m not saying it’s impossible but the tyres would be completely stretched to their limits, plus with such a low sidewall, its not the correct fitment for a r34.

     

    i have. 235/40 stretched over a 9.5 wheel up front

    the 10.5 will 100% poke out but with a stretched 255/35 or 245/40 you might be in luck

    it mostly comes down to ride height and your suspension set up 

     

    this is how the 235/40 looks on the 9.5 (+20)

    I’m gonna be picking up a used set of 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +22 for my GTT.  GTR look bodykit from eastbear but stock fenders and quarters. Stock ride height for now. Wish me luck lol

    Kinkstaah is right, the wheels will never fit but with stretched tyres you might be ok. You will need 235/30 for the front And likely 255/25 for the rear

    i tried to get heroic and squeeze 275’s on the back but the passenger side has scrubbed away about 2mm of sidewall. With a +25 offset I’m gonn need to downsize to 265/35/18

    I also adjusted the camber to negative 1.25 degrees

    check the build plate for the transmission code.  the CVT started with RE0R..... (I think)   the 6sp manual starts with RS6R...

    But the centre console certainly looks like a bit of a auto/manual hybrid.

    I also had the clutch hose spring a leak on my sedan, soon after working on the slave cylinder.  I just replaced it with one of these.

    I have coupe 18x8 rims on mine, which have a +30 offset, with 245/45 tyres, I had to roll the rear guards slightly to stop them rubbing.  If you want to go with +12 and 10in rims, you will need lots of camber to prevent rubbing.

    Factory standard exhaust was not Nismo and was round tips.

    thx, ive ordered a z1 replacement braided clutch line but pretty much the same thing.

    yeah it definately used to be an auto, nissan confirmed after checking the VIN

    oh well, hopefully no dramas with this new gearbox. im going to try and source a replacement centre console from a wreckers. do you know if the sedan and coupe manual are the same?

    anyone know if a vq25det turbo will bolt on to the vq35de fairly easily? not looking to make any crazy numbers but a lil boost without upgrading the internals possibly? 250kw or so?
