Running 34 GTR rims on a GTT here. Sitting at 355mm front 355mm rear ride height. No lipping. Minor scrubbing on the inner plastic guard but only on full lock and going over uneven ground.

Additional... no issues with TCS, or speedometer contrary to what is heard of these forums. Does stick out a few mm from the front however - so may be a legality issue there.

thanks for all the valuable tips... yup just got hold of my GTT and I'm enjoying life a little more :)

will put up pics once its worthy to be shown

They will fit depending on the tyre size. I dont have a pic of a 34 but I have one of a 33.

so 9" fits at the front... hmm. what about 18 x 9 +18 or +21, not the best offset, but would it be OK?

wrxhoon, are your rims just rims or rims/tyres?

are GTR rims forged?

Thats not my car in the pic, I took that in Osaka in December 2004. If you look on the windscreen you will see the price in jap yen.

I have a set of rims for sale ( just rims ) GTR tyres wouldn't be suitable for a GTT .

R34 GTR rims are 18x9, 30 offset and they are forged, very strong and light for the size at around 9 kg each.

i've heard it's not the best to run the same width rim all the way around? but then again, factory GTT rims are 7.5"... maybe it refers to when you're getting quite wide, like 9"

or is it that as long as you have wider TYRES rear to front, it's ok?

i suppose this is coming from a steering/handling stand point...

From a handling point of view, fats on the back. But no dramas having the same width all way around - just make sure you ditch the factory piece of crap Potenza rubbers though.

These pics are a little out of date... had the car lowered slightly since then.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
