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.

Hey guys



I own a 4 door gtst and am looking to fit Work Meister S1's



Rears 18x10 245/40/18 +20 offset


Fronts 18x9.5 225/35/18 +15 offset



I dont want to have to do to many modifcations, preferably just a good roll.


If it helps I'm running BC coilovers.



WILL THEY FIITT?? :woot:

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

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • 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.  
    • 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?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • 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
