I know it has been asked a thousand times before. But I cant find a thread that touches on it.

I have an R32 GTSt and looking at a rear pair of wheels that are 17 x 10" +44. Not sure what the offset limits are for clearing the inner suspension? Anyone? I am not concerned about outer guard, just need to know what sized offsets you can run before you have problems with fouling the shock-suspension etc

Hey, I've used this before when working out clearances.

http://www.rimsntires.com/rt_specs.jsp

Dial in the stock wheels, then the new wheels and it calculates how much closer to the guards and inner suspension components rims and tyres end up.

Also useful way of calculating overall tire diameter for different profiles/ widths too.

Thanks, but the problem is the std rims are so small and no real help when trying to work out clearances for a 10" rim. Hopefully somebody has fitted some decent sezied rim AND tyre in the bum and can work out if these +44s will fit. I want to run a 265 rear tyre on the 10" rim

Thanks, I understand that if i go GTR style offsets I will clear the suspension. But I want to use all the available space, so a +22 offset will leave a sea on the inside and cause issues for the guard. I am hoping there is a number around +30 to +44 or something that allows for inner guard clearance

just going off 9s 9.5s I'd say for a 10 inch an offset around +30 would be about right mate. think of a stock 33 GTR wheel which is +30 9 inch. now add half an inch to each side of that and bobs your uncle. maybe a +35 would give a little more guard clearance and still clear the suspension but I dunno about a +44.

The lmgt4's I sold you where 17x9.5 +38 and they were flush with the guard but can't remember if there was clearance on the inside. So I'd agree with above and say go about the +32mm area. 18x10 with +12 stick about 40mm out with 0 camber and 265's

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
