One for the list, 4 door 18x9.5 +26, 245/40 all round Fronts I had to roll and pull the guards, rear I have just rolled the lip a little. Camber is 1.5 front and 1 rear Nismo Stune suspension

Wheels: Work VS-XX F: 18x8.5 +28 r-disc  235/40/18 R: 18x9.5 +32 a-disc 255/40/18 Regarding the fronts: I'm not sure if I needed to get r-disc since there's about 1/2inch 2/3inch gap

Might be a bit tight on the front. I couldn't fit 9.5 +38 on the front it was too inset and was hitting the suspension strut. I went for ; 8.5 +30 on the front 245/40 9.5 +38 on the rear 265/35

Do you run coilovers? Have your rears scrubbed out when crabwalking really steep driveways? I want 265's on the rear now...

no coilovers just really really low springs and they havent scrubbed on steep driveways, only scrubs on big bumps if im going fast enough

dont get +40 pinch.gif atleast get +35 or somewhere around that

even with my 9.5 +34 i could go atleast +30 without rubbing and still they wouldnt stick out.

Hmm.. so what would you recommend out of these two:

18x8.5 +35 Front and 18x9 +32 Rear

OR

18x8.5 +35 Front and 18x9.5 +40 Rear

No guard rolling, don't want it to scrub of course either.

With your idea, would going for a +32 (even if it's 9") be a better fitment to the outer guard? Not really after "big width" rather just a nice look.

I am having the same problem with getting my head around all the offsets etc..

Im looking at getting 19" x 9.5 +22 but im not sure if they will fit.. Everyone else seems to run 18"s only.. I just want something different..

My car has coilovers but is at about standard height.. The body kit should make it look like its a bit lower to the ground as I dont want to lower it because they wheels may not fit with out rolling the guards..

Pics would be sweet when you get it done :yes:

Running cr kai's - F: 18x8.5 + 30 (from memory) with 225 rubber R: 18x9.5 + 38 with 265 rubber.

Conservative (no rubbing issues), fill the guards with no work done, look nice. Excuse quick photo (bad quality)

I could do with a bit of advise.

About to buy TE37's:

Front: 18" 8.5 +30

Rear: 18" 9.5 +40

Am I going to have any issues?

Will be fine, exactly what I am running except my rears are +38 offset. +40 is the offset of the stockies I believe

The only issue you're going to have is that the wheels have flat spokes :down:

The fronts will be fairly flat but my rears have a bit of concavity, and only 2 offset lower.

TE37's are pretty exxy though, have you looked at Varrstoens's or Rota Grids?

I have never seen 9.5s in that offset with concavity :huh:

18x9.5 +22 at the back will sort that out though :thumbsup:

The TE37 is a proven strong, light wheel that is FAR superior to the above mentioned.

They aren't crazy concave of course, but they are far from flat. TE37's easily one of the best ever, and the cost reflects so.

The only reason I mention it, is I've found a set for $2500 delivered, seem alright condition, in the above offset I mentioned.

So as long as +40 will fit, I'll deal with the cosmetic aftershock. At least they will fit nicely, regardless of the outter face concavity.

I hope. ;)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
