Item: RAYS Engineering Volk Racing GT-C, Spark Silver, Face 2; Set of 4; 18" x 10" +12 Offset - massive dish...

Age: Brand new - manufactured July 2008, delivered October 2008

Condition: Brand new, one rim used for test fitting to hub only (no tyres).

Price: $3,500

To Fit: (What car) P.C.D. 5x114.3 - Skyline, et al.

Location: Sydney (Pickup preferred).

Contact: Matt 0404495329

Comments: Ordered these stunning wheels back in July, they are brand new, took three months to manufacture and deliver to Oz. Planned to fit them to my R33 GT-R, but they do not quite clear the front Brembos. :D

I bought these when 1 AUD bought 94 Yen. At the current rate (~71 Yen), these rims would now cost over $4500, so they are an absolute bargain.

Please note it is up to you to make sure that these rims will fit your car (by whatever means). Serious buyers only please!

Really sad to see these go...

Ouch thats a painful and expensive method of finding out not all 18's will fit a R33 GTR. I figured they'd fit for sure because im using 17'" BBS ribs at the moment.

I was considering some 18x10 volks for my 33 GTR too, glad I dont have to learn the same lesson you just did. So do all the 18" volks not fit an R33?

it depends on the disk type. you can have either big dish or big caliper clearance but you can't have both (assuming wheel widths and offsets stay the same)

these wheels are GORGEOUS, if my stag didn't have 33gtr brembos i'd be sending cash your way - hassle someone with a stagea to buy these.. they'd look amazing with some mild guard mods! :P

Thanks for the tips fellas, yes it would have been great to know this before the three month wait and mega cash outlay... :) I didn't try fitting them to the rear, I assume they'd fit there though.

Hopefully someone with a Stagea or other suitable car is interested.

I don't want to have to resort to spacers and/or lipping front guards / using undersize tyres etc

Buy 10mm bolt on spacers?

Yeah thanks mate.. I'm looking into that... Not sure about making the investment into tyres then finding out they scrub on the wheelarches or rubbing on the fenders though - being 10 in wide, they're right at the front guards already :)

Might end up buying some 5mm or 10mm spacers and trying it out.. So pissed off!

i wouldnt trust slip on spacers with rims worth that much unless u have decent wheel nuts..

if its for a street car or you dont require that much grip, stretch some 235/45s on it... heres mine, 18x10 +17s on a gtst n it didnt rub thanks to the stretched tyres (had 265s on it, couldnt even roll a mm)

on a gtr you shouldnt have a prob with rubbing guard with stretch

265s (undrivable)

235s (perfect)

Dush, what offset are they? Is that pic one of the actual wheels or just an example? You have 235s on there at the moment?

Cheers,

^^ Correct. I just got a set in 18 x 10 +17 and they fit over my 6-pot alcons just nicely.. I sacrificed slightly less dish for big caliper clearance :(

Sexy wheels... that's a fair price too, with the current exchange rate these would cost around $4500 now.

Will these clear a r34 gtr with brembo's?

These are still for sale. Price is $3,300 o.n.o.

I have 4x 5mm slip-on spacers to go with each wheel, so that they will clear GT-R calipers. If using the slip-on spacers, the wheels WILL still sit cleanly on the spigot (not merely on the studs alone).

Did you end up finding a new set of rims? Would you be interested in a set of Volk TE37 17x9 +22 with cash adjustment??

I bought a set of RE30s in 18" x 9.5". Thanks anyway mate.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
