This may have been covered before, but I couldn't establish for certain an ideal offset for the r34 gtt

Ive got a r34 gt25..

Im looking to buy DTM Rush in matte black from access autoworks off the forum...18 inch, 8.5 fronts and 9.5 rears

What offsets would suit?

Ive asked around and most people say 35s or 38s, but since I am getting two different widths for fronts and rears, what should my offsets be?

I want to acheive something that looks PHAT

Cheers.

Shane

I'm fairly biased and like drift style low offsets, i think those wheels come in +25... that would be hot, just sit out the guards a little. or even +25 at the rear and +30 at the front. Or something like that. +35 or +38 is fairly standard would sit in the guards about the same as standard gtt wheels. Hope that helps a little.

You gotta work out what will fit.

Think of it this way, stock GTT rim is 7.5" wide with an offset of +40, this sits the outside of the rim 55mm out from the hub. An 8.5" rim with +40 will sit the wheel 68mm out from the hub (13mm or roughly 1/2").

7.5"x25.4(mm)=190.5/2=95.25-40(offset)=55.25mm from hub to outside of rim

8.5"x25.4(mm)=215.9/2=107.95-40(offset)=67.95mm from hub to outside of rim

Extreme example: 10" rim +20 offset

10"x25.4(mm)=254/2=127-20=107mm from hub to outside of rim

You can use that to figure out pretty much where a different sized/offset rim would sit compared to what you currently have :P

WOW +25 it might be then.

i want to get rid of my current sunken in look.

those rims on the above white gtt is what im getting for my silver gt25...red turbo brakes too :)

what you guys think?

will probably get +25 offsets, 8.5 inch fronts and 9.5 inch rears.

okay guys,

might put my order in this week

18x8.5 +29 fronts

18x9.5 +35 rears

or should I go for +29s at the rears too? thought the wider wheels might fill the guards...

what do you guys think?

Not too sure...havnt seen many more pics of +25 offsets on a 34

Go the +29's at the back to. Will need to run an undersize tyre though. Alot of wheel fitment also comes down to the ride height due to camber change and i think people forget this. I put R34 GTR rims which are 18x9+30 on my wifes 34gtt 4 door and the front the rim lip sat dead level with the guard lip at slightly lowerd and the rear they sat way in. On my old R34 Gtt sedan which was dumped i had 17x9 + 30 and needed a 20mm spacer to bring it out because of the camber and at the rear had 17x9.5 +15 and the rim lip sat 15mm out of the guard. So a 9.5 +29 should with a decent lower and some negative camber have the rim lip level with the guard. The front go for sure the 225 and be aware that if you are running it low the tyre will grab the inner gaurd liner at its taller then the stock tyre.

In all honesty it looks phat having the rim out of the guard and a stretched tyre but for daily use go it sitting level with the gaurd lip.

The pic of the car when its lowered is with the 20mm spacer and the pic of it at slightly lower then standard is without. You can see the diference ride height plays.

Then the black skyline is my wifes with the 34 gtr rims on it.

Yo Shane,

I thought that you would need a +35 just to clear your brakes mate.

Every time I get my ass into a wheel place for some pricing...............it's.................oh no mate, those wheels won't fit, you need a +35 offset. The wheels on the white GTT are awesome. For me, I'd settle for a set of Drifteks any day. They're cheaper! LOL

Hope all is well.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
