Offset For Work Xd9s On My Gtt

[NO-GTR]

ok so i have choosen the rims and the color i want. black work xd9s and the size 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 but i cant seem to find any helpful info about offset. does any1 know what offset would fit a 34 gtt. i dont mind roling the gaurds i just dont wanna scrub or anything like that. also the car is currently stock height. thanks guys.

+22 is the most you would go with unmodified guards

well im ganna have to roll my gaurdes at the back to get the dish look i want. less offset=more dish yes?

correct. IMO, go equal size all round. makes it easier to swap tyres, rims front/rear(which if you have a mech diff you might need to do as they won't like a space saver), resale of rims to GTR owners etc.

[NO-GTR]

not to worried about swaping them around... as im getting stagered wheels. 18x9 and 18x8 wont the same offset all round look funny??

the offset number doesn't mean much without the wheels size.

he was asking about 8.5" and 9.5" wide rims

which ones were you suggesting +22 offset for? as there will be a 13mm difference in how far out they sit

I had the following on my GTT -

Front - 18x8.5J +30 offset (235/40/R18)

Rear - 18x9.5J +38 offset (265/35/R18)

^^ That's about right Adz, conservative offsets and sit almost flush with the guards.... i prefer more aggressive offsets

+22 would be the lowest offset at 9" wide on stock guards

For reference, these are R34 GTR wheels on a GTT which are 18x9 +30 all round... +22 will extend another 8mm outwards of the guard

thanks adzmax. just asking because these are work wheels i cannot try b4 i buy so to speak. i want the dished look at the back and not so much at the front. also i only want to have to roll the gaurds a little. no camber/ streched tyres to fit.

[adznight]

Matt is right, my rims sat perfectly in on the edge of the gaurds. If you want them a bit fatter then you could go some more yeah. Not much though unless you roll etc.

Personally, I would go 18x9+22 depending on guard work, would it just be light lip/roll?

[NO-GTR]

ok sooo i think ive decided on 18x9.5+22 18x8.5+25 any thoughts???? i think it will look aces and finish my black on black on black theme haha

[alr33x]

there is a whole thread dedicated to offsets search other peoples offset i think for r34 you could run 10" comfortably at the back..

[drftps13=D]

im running XD9's in:

17x9.5+17 fronts with a 215/40

18x10+38 rear with 235/40

On a R32 Gtst with rolled guards. not flared..

-1.5 to -2deg camber on rears

-3 deg camber fronts (cos front is slammed)

will i need to camber if i dont go so low??? also what is involved in this and do you scrub at all?? full lock bumbs ect. cheers

Nah u shouldnt need neg camber if u dont go so low, u shouldnt scrub... but, if you have very wide wheels and low offset with 0camber settings, the wheels can possibly stick out too much and look odd, usually when u lower your car the camber will start falling negative naturally.

to adjust the camber you can get camber arms front and rear... but thats more for dialing out negative camber than increasing it (from a performance perspective)...

nah i dont scrub @ all, not even @ full lock sliding over bumps. rolled guards + stretched tires + negative camber on front avoid the situation

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

you guys have different guards anyway..

do you have a side pic of your back wheel?? they look rather dished of +38. ill got that if they are as they fit the 34 easy.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

err.... like i said, the 34 guards are bigger than the 32 so your wheels will not look like that on a 34
