Hey guys ive got a 2d NA r34 and am not to great when it comes to wheels and fitment.

Just wondering, i want to fit 18x9 +33 on the rear and 18x8 +33 on the front. Will i have issues with break clearance and will i need to roll the guards ??

Depends what tyre size you run and how low it is.

Personally I think they'll fit easy.

My mate just fitted some CR Kai's on his 25GT.

Front: 18x8.5 +30

Rear: 18x9.5 +20

We're going to have to roll the rear guards when he lowers the car.

The specs of my NA in front are:

Front: 17x8 +/- 0 offset.

Rear: 17x9 +13.

I'm running fairly stretched tyres and camber to fit these in. Guards are rolled too.

you'l be sweet with that size, i put 18x9.5 +40 with 235x40 tires on my r34 and only experinced a small bit of scrubbing on the inside front well gaurds when turning at full lock, but it doesnt take long for the tires to cut a groove thru the plastic and now the scrubing is gone

Roll it and you'll be sweet! As far as I know the NA's and the turbos have the same wheel clearance and I will be running 18x8.5 +30 and 18x9.5 +35 on my car when my wheels arrive.

whats all this talk about rolling for? ive lowered mine quite a bit (cant fit fingers btw tire and wheel well at the rear and in the front i can just fit my fingers in) and i have no trouble

I thought you "cut a groove thru the plastic" though? You were also running a 40 offset though, dunno what difference a litle bit will make.

is dish the same as offset? lol, maybe a stupid question, maybe i got 40mm of dish, because my rims put most of their width toward the outside of the rim...

but i was just wondering why 'roll' a wheel well, because yes mine cut a groove thru the plastic on the inner-most part of the wheel well(front only and at full lock) , but doesnt 'rolling' refer to the metal lip of the wheel well being made deeper?

AYW550, dish and offset are completely different. (Although the amount of dish is determined by a combination of the design, offset and width) Generally the greater the width and the lower the offset the more dish you have.

The offset is determined by where the hub sits in relation to the middle of the wheel, if its right in the middle offset = 0, if it is 30mm towards the outer edge of the wheel then the offset is +30. Thats why a wide wheel with a low offset sits out far and can create more dish. (sorry if I'm confusing lol! I can explain it well in person with a wheel as an aid).

ok cool, nope not confusing, now i know that it is 40mm of dish that i have, due to the width and location of the offset. so infact i probably dont have much offset at all

im running 17x9 +20 on the front with 225/45. sits flush

and 17x9.5+18 on the rear with 235/45 (will be 225/45 soon) and wind out some camber on the rear.

    • 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.
