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.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
