I was looking at a set of Nismo Lm Gt4 (18 X 8.5 +25, 18 X 9.5 +30) for a GTT
Will they fit inside the guards or poke out? Will they need to be rolled?

i have exact same wheels and offset. They fit perfectly i had to roll my rear guards to run a 275 tyre at the back. Does scrub on quick full lock nothing major. Ill post pics or check in my thread if your in a hurry

about to get some wheels for my r34 GTT, just wondering if I'll have any problems with (front) 18x9.5 +18 (rear) 18x10 +15? thinking im gonna need some guard work.

Yes, you would need camber + guard work... those sizes are GTR sizing

lol.. TM7GTR I'm not mad bro :P

They actually fit, but the rears do need a small roll - they occasionally scrape if going over bumps in the road.

Here are some pics with the new wheels fitted18x9.5 front 18x10.5 rear.

im about to purchase some new wheels and am after some advice of other 34 owners,

the rims i previously had on were F - 18x9+15 & R - 18x10+15

but they needed the rear guards rolled and more camber in the rear to sit flush and be legal (rear lip was about 20mm out)

im planning to get the same size but larger offsets, F 27 & R 35 because i want to lower the car another inch or so,

basically im wondering what if any advantages there are of running a higher offset compared to a smaller rim or if i should just stick with the old offset and run more camber and flair the rear guards slightly to fit them

Shoujiki that looks mint!

Bit of a hijack here also. Looking at Koya Drift Teks in a 18x8.5 +30 Front and 18x9.5 +38 rears. From what i believe i wont need to do much (if at all) to fit those in nicely.

Theyre very similar to the LM GT4 in regards to offsets from what ive heard.

Spare me the "buy better wheels speech" as its literally not an option :P (as much as i wish i could wait, need to be able to drive asap hehe )

Not at all really. Turns in like it's on rails. Also have Whiteline F+R adjustable sway bars and Tein Super Street coils in it, so that may help.

If you look on the Nismo website under applications for the LMGT4 wheel, the specs I have is what Nismo recommend as perfect fit and performance for the RWD platform.

Yeah sweet i cant imagine there would ultimately be much difference between the wheels.

I have $2K BC coilovers so we're in the same vote kinda.

Might do 18x8.5 +30 fronts and 18x9.5 +38 rears :)

Will post photos when they are on :)

what would be better fitment, i have GTR front fenders and am planing to roll/flair the rear a little

18x9 + 15

18x10 + 15

or

18x9 + 27

18x10 + 35

(235 all round as i already have tires in that size)

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
