I need some help figuring this out.

I have the R34 GTT vented fenders and they are 20mm wider than normal. I'm trying to order the Racing Hart CXR's.

Front 19x8.5

Rear 19x9.5

On the racing hart website it says the offsets for a R34 25GTT are...

Front 18x8.0 +35

Rear 18x9.0 +38

I have no idea if that means they are flush or not.

I'm looking to have my rims fitted flush with the guards... so what offsets should I use if I'm going 19 inch rims 8.5's and 9.5's? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey mate, try using this calculator:

Type in your current wheels, after market wheels and you'll see how much more/less they stick in/out. Just keep playing till you get something you like then go out hunting for them wheels! :)

Good luck with your search, anymore questions, feel free to ask.

Thanks adam but I've seen that before. I can't use it because I don't know what the specs are for stock R34 GTT rims and the stock GTT rims don't sit flush. Also, I'm getting new front vented fenders that are 20mm wider than stock. Does that mean I subtract 20mm from the front offset? For example, if my front was 19x8.5 and offset was +30 with the stock fenders then I would need to find +10 offset rims if I get the vented fenders. I don't know how that works.... do I need 225 on the front to make clearance or will 235's or 245's be ok? Would 265's be alright for the rear on 9.5's?

Lets just say your standard wheels are 6.5" wide and have an offset of +40 (not sure what they really are, but just going with standard r32 wheels). At the moment they are IN the standard guards by lets say 20mm. To have the wheels flush with the standard guard, you'll need wheels which are 6.5" wide and with an offset of +20, 8" wide with an offset of +39, etc. But since you're having the wider guards, you'll need 6.5" with a 0 offset for them to be flush, 8" wide with a +19, etc.

Remember that this is for your wheels themselves to be flush, with the guards, not tyres. Having tyres will make the 'package' stick out a little more if you're not planning on stretching some tyres.

Hope that helps... at least a bit. haha

Ok, so what your saying is that an increase of 1.5 inch on the width of the rim equates to +19mm (38mm/2)?.. in respect to that an increase of 0.5 inch would equate to +6mm (12mm or 13mm/2)?

I read somewhere on SAU that says the following is the best set up for a R34 GTT(i don't know if this is for a 2Dr or 4Dr).. Rims sit flush..

Front 8.5 +32 offset 225 tires

Rear 9.5 +38/35 offset 265 tires

If that's the case then I can use this as a base. Since my front fenders are going to be 20mm wider would this be right..

Front 8.5 +12 offset 225 tires or 9.0 +18 offset 225 tires

Rear 9.5 +35 offset 265 tires

Would that make the front flush again?

Does anyone have a ER34 GTT 2Dr that's running 19x8.5 19x9.5?

To match 18x9.5 +38, you will probably then need 18*9 +12 with those extended guards to sit flush?

Yes, as far as I know, that should be correct.

18x9.5 with +38 will sit in the same position as the 18x9's with +12.

i dont have 19s but ive got weds 17 with 9 front, 9.5 rear, and +35 offset allround, and they look shmick and tucked nice under the

guards

Do you have any pics?

Yes, as far as I know, that should be correct.

Ok, I thought I had it but now it's getting confusing... If I go off of Racing Harts website it should come out to this..

Front 18x8.0 +35 to 19x8.5 +29 (-6mm for 0.5 increase in rim width) to 19x8.5 +9 (-20mm to bring the dish out to fit flush with the 20mm wider fenders)

Rear 18x9.0 +38 to 19x9.5 +32 (-6mm for 0.5 increase in rim width)

Should I leave like 3mm or so clearance to maintain my turning ability? I want my tires to be slightly tucked so the rims don't hav eto sit perfectly flush... just flush enough where it looks 'full'.

jesus... I never knew sizing rims could be this difficult. It would be nice if they sold my PCD here in Korea so I can do test fits... but since I can't I don't want to waste money sending rims to and from Japan until I get the right fitment... these rims are expensive enough!

Does anyone know the stock setup for a 2Dr R34 GTT? I think the rims are 17x7.0 all around and +30/35 offset all around?? Someone correct me please.

I agree, wheels are expensive and you want to do it right the first time.

With the troubles turning, it would really depend on how low your car is and how stiff your suspension is.

'Flush' for you could mean tucked for me. Can you get a picture of where you would like your wheels to sit? Cause when I say 'flush' I'm thinking...

R34GTT standard wheel specs are 17x7.5 +40

Use that as a base when using the wheel offset calculator.

2dr and 4dr use the same specs. I have run 8.5 and 9.5 +35 all round and still have a bit more room to move...say 5-10mm

If you are running wider guards +20mm then subtract that from what is recommended...I would personally be a bit more conservative and maybe subtract 15mm instead of 20mm...

With those guards you should be able to run 350z or even GTR offsets (have nice dish!)...approximately

8.5 +15

9.5 +20

Best to get your guards on first so you can measure how much room you have to play with based on the wheels you have on now...

If you need some ideas of suitable offsets for stock guards, have a look at my collection >_< Click on the archived months as well.

Hey thanks n15m0! Thats what I was looking for.

Nice! That's what I mean by flush too butI don't know if I'll rub or not from getting the wrong tire size. I don't want to strech them too much. So either I'll go with the strech or I'll just have the rims tucked a bit more.

Ok guys, this is what I'm going with.

Racing Hart Type CXR

Front 19x8.5 High Disk +21

Rear 19x9.5 Low Disk +35

It won't sit exactaly flush but good enough I guess....

Now tyres... I'm was looking at either the Eagle F1 GS D3's or the Falken FK452's. Front would be 225 or 235 and rear would be 265. Does anyone know if the tyre sizes will conflict with what rims size's I'm getting? I don't want to do any modifications, no rubbing either. I don't want my GTT to sit high like a 4WD car... just low enough to make clearance on the tyres so there'll be no rubbing. Any thoughts?

Are those wheels for the wider guards as well? The offset seems pretty high? Sorry, but I'm not all that familiar with skyline guards.

What I usually do for fitment and tyres is, make the wheels flush with the guards and get tyres that are about the same width. So an 8.5" wheel measures 215.9, but closes will be 215mm tyre for example. Not sure how good this will be for performance and that, but yeah...

Yep, I went with Racing Harts measurments for a R34 GTT... Front 18x8.0 +35 Rear 18x9.0 +38. I then calculated the front... being 19x8.5 +21 offset will give me 8mm more on the inner clearance and 20mm more on the outter. The Rear I chose 19x9.5 +35. That'll give me 3mm less clearance on the inner rear wheels and it'll extend the dish 9mm more. So far, I've found a lot of GTT owners using +35 offset for the rears and had no problems.

now I just want to figure out the right tire sizes without having to sacrifice performance or having to mod guards or having this rub. 215's would most likely make a loss in performance... I think I'll jsut go with 225 in the front. The rear is either 265 or 255. Racing Hart suggested 255 on a 18x9.0 so 265 on a 19x9.5 might work out.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
