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

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
