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!

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

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

      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.
