i wanna get some 235/40/r18s onto a 10inch wide rim. purely cos i have both lying around and dont wanna shell out for new tyres yet. can this be done, and pls reccomend some places that can do the fitting for me as i know most tyre shops dont like stretching stuff

my mate has a 200sx s14 with 18x10.5 and 18x11.5 work miesters both with a very negative offset and he runs 245's on the rears

i run 225's on my 9" rears

so i think u should be sweet bro

there's no need to get all nazi on that fitment..... i'd rather rock around like that than most of the skylines that get around aus

I get what you're sayin, but personally I'd rather be sunken and not stand out from the crowd than be mexican and look like I snapped up a cheap pair of rims that came up for sale without paying attention to offset or fitment. You're gonna get hated on by the "my road car is a race car, and it will not have gangster fitment because it's not optimal in race conditions, that my car will never see" crew, and also by the fitment nazi's. It's a lose lose situation.

It's not that bad... pump guard, more camber, slam. fixed.

the 2nd pic ive raised it a bit cos it scrubbed too much hence why im thinking smaller tyre + camber, the guards are actually hand flared as far as they go, R32 guards are shit for it unlike S13/180SX where you can get a big pump out of them, they werent a bargain pair either, the fronts are 17x9.5 +26 effectively +6 with 15 mm spacer to clear brakes and r33 control arms wearing 215/45 federal RS-R. And your right about the haters but i dont care my cars not a race car, i dont drift just want something unique.

Atleast you have an awesome fitment / right height then half the fucking shit you see on other Skylines in AUS.

lol for once I concur with the "my road car is a race car" crew. but I'd put money on the fact that its a product of a bunch of lads at a workshop getting bored and deciding to do something for shits n giggles.

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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
