Is it common practise to put different fitment wheels on 34 GTR's?

I have 9" all round but am considering new wheels.

Some I have seen are 8.5 front and 9.5 rear.

What is preferred and what offset.

18 x what is best fit and what offset ....front and rear

19 x what is best fit and what offset ...front and rear

No! Same rolling diameter will be ok with the 4wd, but i think you will find some pretty heated discussions in here about retaining the same width for all wheels.

The jist of it is, none of the top gtr garages ever use staggered wheel sizes, diameter or width.

going different widths and then compensating with typre profile to try and get the same rolling diameter will probably still result in a slight difference in rolling diameter and probably isn't the best for the atessa system.

if i had an r34 gtr vs2 and money which u clearly have both of i would get 19x10.5 +12 or +15

i believe my man eugen will be able to help u out in this

I stupidly tried this on a gtr once and the atessa system went nuts. Even when you are cruising along slowly, the torque would suddenly be ramped up to the front wheels, and you could see it on the mfd. It felt like the car was tramlining and you'd be fighting the steering on a perfectly straight road.

So been there, done that and never again.

And 10.5" wide +12 to +15 offset sits ideally on an r34 GT-R with about -0.5 deg camber all round. I've pulled to -3.5 degrees on the front and the rims look really sunken in. But with very minimal camber, there's no need to roll the guards and it wont stick out like dogs balls.

Yeah I have 19x10.5 +15 on mine and really need to reduce the camber to make them just "right".

I have about 3 degrees rear and they look a little sunken.

The 34 GTR has a wider track in the rear from factory, which is contrary to most other cars, incl 32/33 GTRs, and I personally wouldn't want to make the rear track any wider than it is in relation to the front, to do so could end up with quite an evil handler that would be fairly willing to swap ends once sideways.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
