ok...so here's the deal. I'm planning on getting a set of Tenzo R Dc-5's in staggered fitment

19 X 8.5 +22

19 X 10 + 19

only trouble is, the only place that I could find in Australia that has stock of these wheels are tempetyres. I called them up, but they are not willing to sell them in staggered sizes

so I will need to get a full set of 19 x 8.5 (4 pieces ) and 19 X 10 (also 4 ..apparently these were specific for the GTR).

I'm not sure of the colours available, but I'm just putting it out there if anyone is interested in buying these with me and we can then swap 2 fronts and 2 rears to make 2 sets of staggered wheels.

Leaning towards maybe a timeattack white....but I'm open to any preference coz I can always get them powdercoated.

Also, another thing is .....most pictures of these wheels on the internet shows that the rims are straight faced and not concaved. The guys at wheelworx told me that with low offset, the wheels are actually a nice concave....so I was thinking get the 19 X 8.5 +22 first....and if its not to satisfaction....then sell them off and split the loss.

PM me if your interested.

nah....dude at tempe said he wouldn't sell them separately is coz its low volume stock and he doesn't want to end up with odd width rims that no ones else buys.

Pretty sure that there's plenty of forum members running staggered wheels and I've never heard of these being illegal, but you may be right.

maybe the reason they wont sell staggered size is because staggered widths are illegal unless thats how your car came from factory

Good thing he has a V35 then! 225/45R18 fronts, 245/45R18's rear!

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
