Hi, did a search but not much came up.

What are the widest rims I can run on an R34 GTR? Also, where is the best place to get guards rolled/pumped to accommodate fat tyres?

What is the legality of this and really fat rims in Victoria?

Lastly, do I need to use identical rims on all 4 corners to not confuse ATTESA or can I stagger them?

Thanks.

All depends on if your going 18 or 19 inch. Also what size tyres you want to fit.

I know for a fact you can go quite wide.

With legality, I think if they stick out past the guards then you can get done for it.

On gtr's you must not stagger otherwise problems with Altessa as far as I know.

Biggest you would go without worrying about modifying guards would be 18x10.5 with a maximum offset of +12. if you were to go 19's with the same width and offset you may get some rubbing on the inner guards on full lock depending on tyre size and width.

my wheels came off grant's r33 and are 18x10 +19. sat well on his car, if a teensy bit inside the guards. you can go bigger on r34.

also, atessa only shits brix if rolling diameters are diff f/r. you can stagger, but choose tyre profiles carefully. most cant be arsed with this, which is why they say run samesame all round

pics of same offset on 33r

I had 18x10 +19 AVS Model T5 with 275/35, fit easily however there's slight rubbing on inner guards when going into driveway.

Then I had 18x10 BBS LM with 285/30 RE55s, swapped the coilovers and ran lower, no rubbing at all.

For R34 GTR, you can run what Jack recommends, or hell, buy some of his rims!

Niroj, I never ran tri spokes, bought off a dude who had in his 33 GTR.

my bad

Jack's Sparco's look like awesome value for money, and would look hot on an R34 GTR

Cheers Shane... they are quite cheap since they're brand new...

I have too many sets of wheels to suit GT-R at the moment...6 to be exact....

Wheel whore??? I have a good excuse, I have 3 GT-R's....

Cheers, thanks for the replies.

Thinking of going the Volk TE37 Bronze 19 X 10.5" + 12, with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's in 285 or 295/35R19 . Smallest offset I could find for that rim on NENGUN. Where else is good to buy TE37s locally? I tried Importmonster's aussie store but they only have the rim in massive offsets.

I just bought a set of 19 x 10.5 +11 for my 34R. Should be fitting them next week but I would not personally go any bigger.

Would love to see pics plz. Let me know if any rubbing - cuz if there is I may have to go down a size/width. Stock suspension?

Thanks.

Try hawthorn tyrepower. They have the best display of rims and can get you whatever you like considering they own a 35r and amuse 370z.

I will be purchasing soonish a set of Te37 SL's 19x10.5 +12 for my 34r.

Te37's with an aggresive offest just look mean on a 34r.

As Nathan said above, I was there yesterday and they have heaps of TE37's to check out.

I was only going to go 285/30/19 but does anyone know if the 295/30/19 will be ok on a 10.5 wheel +11?

my car has only been lowered 30mm but I am a little concerned that the tyre will rub?

Thanks

Personally I would go the 285/30/19 instead of the 295's, they will more likely cause rubbing on full lock and the benefit of going 10mm wider on a street car is negligible as far as performance. Save your pennies or go a better quality tyre in 285 wide.

My 2c...

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
