18" wheels and anywhere between 225 and 245

18x8" +20 on a 235 tyre

18x9" +30 on a 245 tyre all around is what i run on the front and thats flush to guard no rub no scrub no issues (my car sits slightly higher then most due to my driveway).. so you should have little trouble going that all around (check my photos on previous page)

Hi all,

About to get some wheels tomorrow in the size 9,5j et+26 all around for my R34 GTT with nismo S-tune suspension.

Thread has been great help.

Looking to run 245/35/18 front and 255/35/18 rear. You think I can run this without rolling the fenders or any other guard work?

If not...what size tyre should I run

Cheers from Holland :action-smiley-069:

Hey mate. A 9.5 +26 will have a tiny bit of poke from the guards you may want to run a smaller tyre for clearance issues but you could probably get away with a 245.. my old 18x9.5 +22 had guard rub when going up inclines and full lock that was with lowered coilovers and a 235 tyre.. also worth mentioning make sure you wheels will clear your suspension arms on the front.. mine had a tiny gap between wheel and arm

Cheers good luck

Ps i had unmodified guards.. i would recommend rolling them if your car is lowered with that size wheel and offset

18x9+25 would sit a little inside on the rears if anything. Perfect flush fit in my opinion is 18x9+30, even on that it'll sit in a little on the rears but nothing substantial

Edit: it would stick a little out than in, myyy bad

hey guys, i was thinking of going 18x9 +25 all round, was wondering if it would poke outside the guards considering the front on your ones look pretty flush

To revive this thread, this is my R34 gtt with LMGT4's in 18x9+22 front and back.

Wrapped in 235/40/18 re003's all around.

No camber to them, guards are rolled at the front but probably didn't even need to, there's no scrub at all.

Perfect flush fitment front and back.

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

Hey Artic, what front bar/kit is that? Lip looks great on it! Wheels look great also, glad to see a reference as i'll be running a similar 18x 9 or 8.5 + 30 all round when i finally get mine.

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
