Has anyone fitted 19 x 11 wheels on a R34 GTR?

I've been offered a set as an alternative to 19 x 10 but can't really find much info about wheels that size :)

19 x 11s have an offset of 25 & the 19 x 10s have an offset of 15 - so in theory they should have the exact same stance, so should sit right?

You may have to 'adjust the inner plastic guards if the tyre rubs, especially if it's lower than stock.

Also depends on what width tyre you decide to run. 34's are pretty accommodating for bigger, wider wheels.

Mine are 18x10.5 +18 and 275 width is stretched.

did a quick search and found this if it helps? http://forums.nicocl...34-t288174.html spec sheet is down a little bit

Yeah seen that a few nights ago and got in touch with him :thumbsup:

He said they only had to trim the rear liner a bit to get them to fit comfortably :D

Quite excited now about recieving mine :banana:

  • 2 weeks later...

I finally got some tyres fitted to these today & I can now confirm that a 295/30/19 on a 19 x 11 ET25 will NOT fit on a R34 GTR :(

They fit perfectly & look amazing - unfortunatley the car is undriveable as on even partial lock the inside of the wheels are knocking against the suspension :(

I'm hoping to get hold of some 5mm spacers & see if it pushes them out far enough to avoid the arms

A couple of pics of them fitted though, stock wheels have been refitted now though while I search for a solution

Ignore the white tyre fitting crap around the wheels, I need to give them a wash :)

They look massive diameter wise in that picture.

How much do they stick out now with the 10mm?

Drive it over bumpy areas and see if it scrubs on the outside/guard.

19x10.5 +12 and 15mm spacers were scrubbing on the rears. Left a nice thin cut all around my tyres.

With a 10mm spacer it sits pretty much flush with the arch.

There will be some rubbing, especially once lowered. I think it will be a case of rolling the arches or possibly even Z-tune arches to give a bit more clearance :)

damn, pity I didn't see this thread earlier, could have warned you off them...

Anyway, for people searching in the future, I'm running 18x11 +18 and they touch the suspension upright before full lock, so not ideal. I'll probably try and get some 5mm spacers to just get them out far enough to clear, but they're pretty much flush with the guards as is.

Does look good though.... :D

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
