R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

[Artic Choc]

Well tyres wernt designed to be stretched on to wheels larger then the suited size.. there for would be more prone to cause an accident wouldnt it? The added stress on the side walls cant be good for it? Plus why would you want to runn less tyre on the road..theyr the only thing keeping you on the road..so run the right size? My theory behind it anyway

Stretching tyres has nothing to do with 'keeping on the road'.

Aren't you running 235 on a 18x9.5?

[d.matho]

Looking at going 18x9.5 +24 all round now with 235/40/18

i know it will be a little bit of strech but from what arctic choc has and a few other people in skyline owners forum running 18x9.5 +30 i should sit nicely in the middle of it all correct?

235/40/18 isn't much of stretch, you will be completely fine.

Was a while back till i desided im better off with a better wheel and tyre combo ... i liked it for a while but it didnt last long

[Artic Choc]

Just an idication of a 235 tyre on a 9.5

[d.matho]

Cheers Arctic! Less stretch than I thought. Looks good though.

Anyways problem is solved, FINALLY decided on wheels and bought them. Hoping they arrive by the end of the week.

I got work x jdm concept gt5 in 18x9 +30, which is the gar wheel size so pretty sure I shouldn't have to do much. They kind of look like drift teks but they're a proper work wheel which is sick. I'll post some photos when they're on

[d.matho]

Got any photos of what your running now Arctic?

[niZmO_Man]

265/35 on a 9"

265/35/18 Falken Azenis on R34 GT-R wheels (18x9)

[Artic Choc]

Sure... i can get better ones in daylight tomorrow if you want, front 18x9 +30 and rear 18x10 +38.. i dont know why the photos are uploaded side ways but yeah sorry..

[d.matho]

They look rad, what are they?

I the wheels I got came staggered as well but I opted for 18x9 +30 all round so I could rotate [emoji3]

wheels arrived today so I'll pop some photos up later on

[Artic Choc]

Yeah youl find they sit perfectly with the guards. Good choice..i went for a 10" so i can run some bigger rubber... theyr work xd9... they discontinued them though

[d.matho]

So stoked on the outcome ay, like night and day difference in handling going from 19x8 +35 with 4 different tires to 18x9 +30 with new tires. sooo good

[Artic Choc]

More clear photos for you mate, yeah i noticed a huge improvment when i swapped..any photos of your new wheels?

[d.matho]

yeah dude, they look rad. I was looking at similar work wheels when I came across these. haha how do i upload photos?

[d.matho]

What do you think?

[d.matho]

it is scraping a little on the drivers side guard liner so ill just pop it out and modify it a little

[Artic Choc]

tough as f**k man. good choice on bronze ... (ps: your headlights need a polish would recomend turtlewax headlight cleaner and a chuckwipe cloth and elbows)

[d.matho]

Cheers man, I'd been looking fro bronze wheels for ages but nothing seemed to be the right offset or size. so stoked on these.

yeah, when I bought the car, i cleaned them up but just havent satyed on top of it. Ive got some turtle wax 2 in 1 headlight cleaner I think. might give it a crack.

unfortunately when we did the wheels they guys notice a big bump in my sump, which might explain why my oil gets a bit warmer than usual. so next on the list is new sump and the cusco drag rod to get rid of that nasty Hicas.
