Hey guys im just about to buy some 18" Work Emotion Cr Kai's.

I need to know what will be the best offset on my R34 Gt-t. I want them to fill the guards as much as possible, but do not want the hassles of having to flare my guards.

the fronts i want are 18 x 8.5 and rears are 18 x 9.5

The avaliable offsets is as the table below,

Thanks all.

Give me your current wheel specs and I'll tell you how much each offset will change from the way it sits at the moment.

Everyone's opinion of how 'flush' looks is different.

My current wheel specs are 18x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5 offset +32 (not 100%) tho.

Im running stock suspension at the moment, but will be upgrading to Zeals later down the track.

Front:

18x8.5 +43 will be 11mm more tucked than it is now. Suspension clearance could be a problem with after market coilovers.

18x8.5 +37 will be 5mm more tucked than it is now. Suspension clearance could be a problem with after market coilovers.

The 18x8.5 +30 will be moved out 2mm compared to your current wheels.

Rears:

18x9.5 +38 will be 6mm tucked than current.

18x9.5 +30 will be 2mm moved out.

18x9.5 +20 will be 12mm moved out.

18x9.5 +12 will be 20mm moved out.

You're planning on getting wheels that in the same widths, not hard to just see the difference in offset. If you go to a higher offset, it will be more tucked, lower offset, more out.

If you're planning on running the same tyres, measure the "20mm moved out" from your tyres instead of wheel to see if they touch guards.

after trialling rims on mates r34 gtt (standards susp and no guard work), if they are the only offset options you have

front: 8.5" +30 (or +25 if you want to really fill the guards)

rear: 9.5" +38 (or +30 if you want to really fill th guards....will need to get the guards lipped if you lower it though)

if you want something that looks decent and isn't hanging outside the guard go 8.5" +30 and 9.5" +38, but any offset higher than this will look sunken in

i got work emotion cr-kai's on my car with the following offsets

front : 5 X 114.3, 18 X 8.5 - OFFSET +30

rear: 5 X 114.3, 18 X 9.5 - OFFSET +38

both side inside guards, car's been lowered to almost rubbing the guards with coilovers too

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • 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
    • 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.
