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

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:

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
