R34s...please!

[GTR-34A]

heres some pics of my new setup... pretty average pics i know..

the one of the rear is abit skewed as the car is on an angle and the suspension stroke is extened if you know what i mean.

ok yeah i see what you mean.. still confuses me a bit lol With 18's like yours ive seen is the perfect size and fitment. Ive spoken to a lot of other guys that are running 19 and there all 10.5+22 and look great, where all the guys running 19's.. +12 are having scrubbing issues.

Also have a look at the blue and white pic together and what seems to look like the same front bar the white one has these two bumps/fangs below the gtr badge. Is it only the original ones that have that and the ones without are fake?

not the exact same bar. The bayside blue car has an S-tune front bar (i think)

and KSR has a Z-tune style replica bar. But as someone else said, the genuine Z-tune bars don't have the little 'fang' thingos

alot of benifets running 18s imo.. cheaper tyres, can run wider tyres and more sidewall to protect expensive wheels! its all personal preference though, 19s do look great though!

i know god speed runs 19x10.5 +15 with 275s, no scrubbing issues i believe but may need to clarify with him.

Yeah i agree with you with all the benefits of 18's, got to be careful running 19's with a low profile. Ive seen some +15 and they look a bit to chunky for my liking. I guess what I want to know is whether the 19x10.5+22 are a bit more wider in the guard than an 18x9.5+12 or do they just cancel each other out with the different offset size

that might help answer your question? its a much of a muchness.. the 10.5s will stick out a tiny bit more but the tyres wont be as flush, so the 9.5s could appear more flush..

Yum. Chunky tyres.
I want 305s

[gmac10a]

If you look at my pic of my old one I was running 18x10.5s with a 275 and decent profile. If I dropped my bilsteins down more would of still been no issues what so ever. I had mine set up for more perfomance rather then looks though.

19s I dont know, for street and looks yeah but for driving hard and track day's 18s all the way. Cheaper tyres more side wall.

18s with massive dish look almost the same size as a dished 19 anyway IMO.

ha yea, might need guard work for that, only just enough room for these, and for 305s would need to go 11 inch wide rim i think?...

the R888s measure 300 wide anyways

[Owgasm]

Anything is possible
Post up a side profile picture please

Just want to see if the chunky tyres offset the smaller diameter look of 18" wheels on a R34 body.

[GTR-34A]

Sorry mate dont have any other pics yet.. will post up better ones soon.

The rolling dia is about 8-10mm smaller on this setup over my last, and I think the chunkier side wall looks better too

[kylieyeah]

^ but your car is super high. Most people run coilovers and lowered so running that size tyre looks like it would be an issue on a lowered car especially without rolled guards.

Nah mate mine sits low now, the front splitter is pretty much bang on 100mm off the ground. The rear photo shot is decieving as its on an angle the suspension stroke is extended. Will get some better pics next week.

Cheers thanks for your help man! That link cleared things up for me

Yeah ill be keeping the 18's for track. The main reason why I want to go with 19's is for street and looks and that way I can run some decent semis on the 18's

I got 19x10.5 with 275s all around. Heaps of issues the moment you lower the car i.e. mine being 50mm off the ground. Car slammed on decent wheels = win

[dkbcleaner]

Haha yeah your car looks mad Nath! whats your offset again?

[vspecIInur]

I'm pretty sure they are +22 offset. With +12 I would struggle even more lol

What profile tyres? I had dramas when I had the same size wheels with 275/35, changed to 30 profile and was all good.. Although mine is not as low as yours..

Looking good! The red on the rims actually adds to the classic black on white.
