Pics as promised. used my crappy phone camera but will take some better pics later on with a proper camera.

17x8 +17, 225/45 front

17x9 +17 235/45 rear

fronts stick out like 2~ish mm - prob will sit flush with a 215/45 tyre

rear fits perfectly fine - neither needed any guard work however the fronts needed the splash guards removed.

for the rears, if i was to choose new wheels, id go +13~ & for the fronts i'd go +20.

may lower it some more in future to get it sitting a bit better but im happy atm with its fitment.

I'm going some Work Emotion XD9s in bronze on my dark blue pearl R34 GTT Coupe, my car sits damn low, you have no hope of getting a coke can around the front or sides, only the back is a abit forgiving. Going to have streched tyres on her.

Front : 18x8, +35 offset

Rear : 18x9, +38 offset

I hope that it turns out okay and sits nicely close to the gaurds.

wouldnt need to stretch the tyres with the widths/offsets your getting for the 34.

for that width and offset 225/255s will be fine to fill up the guards.

if you want the a more aggressive look i'd go. 18x9 +20 215/40 and 18x10 +17 235/40.(or even 18x9+20 all round)

these rims from driftgarage are fken awesome!!!!!!!

for $1080 17" with good size & offsets, cannnot go wrong!!!

this is the new driftkteks atm.

everyone dick & harry is gonnna have them.

Dori,

I just went to their site and checked out the stock.

You were right !!!!!!!!!! Those Project D rims are absolutely awesome.

The price is also pretty bloody good. (if I had any money)

Many thanks for the web site link.

Regards

Jim (TR34GT)

UPDATE: found out my front tyres are 225/50 and i think thats why its scrubbing still!!!!

Hey Dori,

The R34 GTT has a standard 17"x 7.5 + 35 offset Nissan rim that is fitted with 225 x 45 ZR 17 tyres.

The link to the Aaron Bohnen tyre selection guide is listed below. (if you have Microsoft Excel)

If you type in the standard Nissan 17" profile mentioned, in the left hand column, you will be able to see the tyres which will match your car the best in various widths and diameters. It also gives you the information of speed differences due to the wheel diameter differences.

http://www.superjamie.net/garage/tire.xls

The tyre rating symbols for various makes are also as follows:

Tire Speed Rating Symbols:

S - 180km/h or 112mph

T - 190km/h or 118mph

U - 200km/h or 125mph

H - 210km/h or 130mph

V - 240km/h or 149mph

W(ZR) - 270km/h or 168mph

Y(ZR) - 300km/h or 186mph

ZRAbove - 300km/h or 186mph

Yep, the 225 x 50 tyre may cause a few issues in the scrubbing department, and you are also travelling faster than your speedo would indicate. ie........you would be travelling at 103.5 km/hour when you speedo is reading 100 km/hour.

If you save a copy of the guide, it will let you look at all sorts of combinations.

You may also like to check out the past issue of High Perfromance Imports which addressed the maximum diameter and widths that would fit under normal R32, R33 and R34 guards. Apparently, the R33 had the best factory widths for 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5 fitments.

Safe motoring.

Regards

Why would you bother getting such horrible offsets when buying new?

Don't be weak, go 18x9 +20 front and 18x10 +18 rear. It'll fit fine with stretched tyres and a bit of guard love...

What about Just Jap for a set of R34 GTR second hand rims? Awesome!

I still like those freekin Lenso rims that Dori found. LOL

For mine, it'll be 17" x 8 front and 17" x 9 rear with some wide 235mm and 255mm Marangoni tyres respectively.

(dreams of more money)

For R34,id stick to 18, 17" dont fill the guards quite well but im not saying 17s dont look good tho.

youd prob have to get bigger sizes for the rear, prob x10 lol

and front & rear with low offsets to fill the fat guards.. rear would be +12, fronts around +20ish

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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"
