G'day people.

I am looking at getting a set of rims sometime this year and would like to know the perfect offset for my 34 GTR. I dont really understand how offset measurement is taken but i would like the rims to sit almost flush with the guards but not hanging out, so as to stay legal and have a wider look. I like the look of how the Z-tune LMGT4 rims sit under the guards. That is basically what i'm after. If anyone knows the offset for the Z-tune then that'd be of great help. The standard GTR rims sit too much inside the guard. Also, if anyone has pics of their 34 gtr could you please post them up with your offsets too?

Cheers!

How much more do you want the wheels sticking out from what it is now? What widths do you want the new wheels to be? What are the current wheel's specs?

Give me those details and what you want then I'll tell you what offsets you'll need for that fitment.

I'm pretty sure the R34 GTR rims have +30 offset. they are 18X9.

18x10.5" +15

This is what the LMGT4 and TE37 offsets come in. You can go as much as +12 or back to +18... still looks tough/fills the guards.

yeah i want something to fill the guards out. i'll be getting the TE37's for sure.

I still need to know what wheel widths you're after and how much further out you want your wheels. :P

lol sorry man. From looking at it now i reckon it needs to be pumped out by another inch or inch and a half. I'd like the rims to be 18X9. if i can go 18X10 then sweet. I've heard +15 offset should be pretty good?

Yeah, 18x10 with a +15 offset will bring the rims out 27.7mm so roughly an inch.

I personally think a 9" wheel on a GTR would be too small. They come in 9" wide so I would go 10" at least.

So for a 10" wheel, +15mm offset will bring the wheel out 27.7mm.

10.5" with +15 will bring it out 34.1mm.

Just to give you a little guide, to get a 9" wheel to come out an inch, the offset needs to be +5.

For it to come out ~1.5", it'll need to be -7.

With a 9.5" wheel, for it to come out 1", the offset needs to be +11.

To come out 1.5", it needs to be -1.

10" wheel to come out 1", it needs to be +17.

To come out 1.5", it needs to be +5.

10.5" wheel to come out 1", needs to have an offset of +24.

Out 1.5", offset needs to be +12mm.

You can use that guide when looking at wheels. Hope that helps.

cheers Adam, I'll read it over again so i can get my head around it. I heard 18X10 with a +12 offset would be suitable for a 34 gtr. you reckon that'll be fine?

+12 nismo LM-GT4 rims 17insh all the way.

PM sent

255 x 40 x 17 tyres

Thanks bud, but i dont really wanna be going donw an inch. The r34 gtr guards look pretty small with 18's in them already and 17's would make them look even more smaller.

Sorry, but I can't really answer that question because I've never had any experience with wheels on R34 GTR's. It's up to you weather or not it's a good width and offset because I can't see how much of a 'gap' you've got between your wheel and guards. You wanted it to come out an inch or an inch and a half and from what I've calculated above, having 18x10 +12 wheels will stick out 30mm more than what they're at at the moment.

Good luck with it though mate. Any further questions on how much they'll stick out compared to what they are now and I'll be happy to help.

Remember to post some pics when you get the new wheels on!

i have an r34 gtt but my guards are stretched to a bit bigger than gtr guards and i run 18x9 +15 all around and they sit well, (i have a high profile tyres so they fill very good_)

for an r34 gtr i would get 19x10.5 +12 te37's

i like the the stock GTR rims on the 34 but i do agree they do sit too much inside the guard. How do i make them sit further out without using spacers?

sorry for noobish question

Sit tight > keep your existing GT-R rims looking sweet > keep your eyes peeled for replacements > quickly sell your existing GT-R rims > pay just a few $100 on the changeover. :D

Yours truly ended up with 18x10 +12 offset Gold ADVAN RGs (with good tyres) paying just $700 on exchange. :whistling:

i think i am the only one that likes the stock rims. I am looking to keep the rims just want to fill the guards a bit better with what i have, not looking to change rims. i have seen photos of gtrs with standard rims with a better offset just need to know how

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
