Hey all,

I'm looking at getting new wheels with the above specs, just wanted to know if anyone has photos of this or a similar setup.

Also how much guard work is needed for these to fit? Will most probably be using 235/40/18 tyres

Cheers

I've got 18x9.5 +35 on the rears and that sits flush. That is with 265 wide tires though. To run a +12 offset and those stretched tires, I think you might struggle. I think you'll need to roll guards and even then it will be a squeeze.

Thanks for the reply guys, very helpful there Sean :nyaanyaa:

I'm currently running 18x9+12 fronts and 18x10+22 rear, very minor scrub comes from the rear during a sharp turn, only coz my guards aren't rolled, though I will definitely be getting the guards rolled if I get the new set of wheels.

if anyone has some photos, that would helpful :)

i run 18x9.5 +8 on the rear of my 33 gtst track car.

now the catch.... i have a LOT of gaurd rolling lol.

Not running much camber though.

Using 265/40 tires and hasnt scrapped once that i know of.

i would probably struggle to hear the scrape but i have been inspecting the tyres often for the tell tale cuts along the ouside edge/corner and so far havnt found a single mark on the tyres.

there is no way 34gtt gaurds are gunna be less forgiving than 33gtst. they will most probably be the same or slightly wider yes??

check the r34 thread in photoprahy section of my car

18x9 +15 18x9.5 +12

Only found the VS KF on your car, unless those are the ones you're talking about? though it's 9.5+17. What tyres were you running with those?

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
