Hey guys,

I'm looking at getting some of these beauties imported for my commuter :3

nismo_lmgt4_bronze.jpg

So I need to find what size is best for my car. It's a 1999 R34 GTT. I'm thinking something that would be good for an R34 GTR as well in case I upgrade or need to sell these seperately.

I know there's all this talk about what width and offset and blah blah blah to get, but was hoping there was some input for race specs? I don't need anything too fancy but something that increases performance on the track would be good. I'm a bit of a noob at rim sizing so any help would be very appreciated.

Good point, although if I sell this car I don't think the average GTT driver is going to be as likely as a GTR driver to pull out the sort of money they are worth. And there's no way I'm selling them with it, too much loss of value.

18s or 19s as well? Stock GTR rims are 18 right?

edit.. maybe not so wide... 9.5 on all or could i go 8's on the front... offset?

I'm fitting 9.5 and 10.5 to mine.

I definitely wouldn't be going 8s on the car. It is way too big for such narrow wheels.

18x9 +30 is GTR34 size so work out how you want them to sit from there :blush:

dont worry about that dude, once u buy one set of expesive rims u just keep going lol, u become whats know as a wheel whore hahaha

and when u decide to sell the car sell the rims seperately for sure.

Love those wheels!

yup, stock GTR rims are 18x9 with a +30 offset, they sit real nicely in GT-t guards

Daniel's R34 GTT looks bad ass!

lol

charlie if you're so worried about losing money on rims, you probably shouldn't be shopping for LMGT4s imo

get some r34 gtr rims, they'll fit no worries and still look nice :happy: not that i'm biased or anything lol

Hah!

I would not bother selling the wheels in the first place, they are a keeper!

Yeah well I either won't sell them... or I will..

I don't care how much something costs, but I always take into consideration the resale value. I might get a GTR one day so I want what is good for that car anyway. Don't want to have to buy the same rims twice. It's likely I will sell this car one day. Specs for the GTR is probably the way to go.

i don't think you are quite getting it..

anything you buy for a GTT will look shit on a GTR. if you buy sweet fitment wheels for a GTR it will be a monster job making them fit your GTT.

so as far as i see it, you're in a bit of a bind if you're intent on only buying the one set of wheels :\

Um Ric? I don't know if you're quite getting it... Why do you think I made this thread? To reinstate what I already know? 'Not quite getting it' would only result from bad explainations. Thank you, THANK YOU for finally giving me the 'correct' answer.

I have a GTT with 18x8.5 +35 front and rear wheels ... they fit nicely with no scrubbing whatsoever. Having said that rears could probably go a little wider ie. 18x9.5 +40 or so would look completely flush and probably require no guard rolling at all

I have Starcorp Impuls on my GTT, they are 18x8.5 fronts & 18x9.5 rears unsure of the offset though. Sit quite flush in the rear but fronts could have sat out a bit more (less offset??).

Anyway have a look at Satanics ride to see how they sit on a 34 :)

lol what?

you're asking for rims that will look good on 2 very different cars. sorry but it's just not going to happen.

So I need to find what size is best for my car. It's a 1999 R34 GTT. I'm thinking something that would be good for an R34 GTR as well

if you're so all knowing (not to mention snappy), why did you make this thread? :/

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
