Hi all,

Looking for some track wheels for my R34GTT - what can people recommend? I'm looking to get something that will have a wide variety of choice for tyres, so I was thinking 17x9's? Don't want to use spacers at all - had enough of them! Run 18"

Are 16" too small to clear the brakes? I have DBA rotors, pretty sure they are 330mm... Are 16's any cheaper for tyres anyway and would I be able to get a 9 inch wide rim? Obviously 17's will look better :)

If there's a particular wheel of choice I'd be happy to see a pic!

Cheers

From other threads previously - 17 inch rims seem to have more tyre range/choice for the track

width not sure however.

I know I struggled for ages to get some semi's for my 16's but kept on searching!

17*8 front, and 17*9 will be ideal for track usage.

You can find semi slicks to suit these sizes.. ie 235s front, and 255s rear..

As for track rims.. Most of the Volk Range, Buddy clubs, Work rims etc etc, they are all light weight..

Just use the standard GTt rims with the semis on!

MY car ive got 32 gtst rims for road and my 33 rims with the semi's on :rofl:

Alsi if you damage the GTt rims - there are cheapish to replace!

im not 100% sure if 9 inch wheels fit the front of a R34, but from the one i saw today, i would say they do.

go for a 9 inch front and rear and run a 235 semi front and rear.

you dont need wider tyres unless you have some massive hp, and because they are the same size as commodores and falcons they will be relatively cheap for a semi.

i would stick to 17's as well because thats what the car came with stock and you will have some good sidewall flex. you do want some. 18's wont really provide it.

also i dont think 16's will fit the front of a r34, otherwise just get some cheap r32 gtr wheels and run 225-50-16 semis on them

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
