I'm not sure on offset but iv got 17s by 8 on front and 17s by 9 on rear, and lowered the car slightly with Tein springs, and iv found that when I'm doing 140ks plus round corners that my front wheels rub on the plastic guards, eventually it just made a hole where they rubbed, I don't think 9inch wide tiers would fit on the front without rubbing even worse???

R34 2 door btw.

u might have to slow down abit for corners....lol jk.... be careful if its rubbing the plastic guards, on the drivers side right behind it theres wires which go in to engine bay i have heard of them being damaged from rubbing........

its fine now, but my left guard came off completely while i was doing 180ks (ripped itself off one of the clips and got caught on the wheel and flung off underneath the car lol...) although to be fair i had hit a hare a few weeks prior to this happening and it stuffed that clip.

The thing to watch out for is the metal frame for the engine bay that sits about 15-20mm behind where the guards are.

dont spose anyone knows the largest rear tyres for an r34 gtt with rubber that suits them, not stretched as I want to run semi slicks, going to go for 17" just wondering if anyone else has run some decent width wheels on the back of a gtt or gtst with semi's on

yeh i dont mind rolling the guards, would prefer not to flare though but if need be then its fine :(, its pretty low atm, coilovers, ill get them set up properly when the new engine is in but yeh its not low to scrape, its low to handle so if raising it to get the best performance out of it thn so be it. im just pretty concered about traction as fingers crossed i should make somthing in the region of 500hp - 600hp atw in a gtt i know the right foot has alot to do with it but a nice wide set of rears wouldnt go stray

After putting 18x8.5 +30 and 18x9.5 +35 on mine I woul do it differently if/when I go for a new set of wheels.

18x9 +25/30 [F] and 18x10 +30/35 [R] would look schmick running 225/40's and 255/35's respectively.

Well I ended up fitting 18 x 9.5 +22 All Around on 255/35.

Removed front guard lining and was still rubbing the guards quite a bit with just me in the car on large bumps.

Car is lowered a bit.

Got the rear guards rolled added about 15 mm flare or so.

That fixed the rubbing on the rear but i'm still weary about rolling the fronts as I heard its not a great idea and can f* the fenders somehow.

lol relax dude, i wasnt to sure if he was talking 32 or 33, yea you could judge it by his profile pic, but then you could judge your name as driving a GTS which then leaves your "barge" comment void :)

in respects to fitting those wheels to the 32, nothing more camber cant fix!!!! rears shouldnt be to much of a problem, it will be the fronts you will need to worry about.

I run 18X10.5 on my rears on a 255(stretched) Sits pretty flush with the guard
and i run18X9.5 on my fronts on a 225(stretched) Also sits flush, both wheels are +30 offset. Although camber and guard roll(for the rear) is needed to avoid scrub

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
