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..

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.

^ 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'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..

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
