Been browsing through this thread too. lots of people close but not the same as the size and offset im looking at
CST Hyper Zero 1's in 18x9 +30 on a lowered R34 GTT Coupe.
Not concerned with stance or anything just dont want to have to modify the guards. and dont want to lose much turning lock (gf loves to apply full lock when in car parks etc)
What do you think? Appreciate any insights [emoji4]



I had 18x9+22 on mine and it was lowered, slightly. You'll be good.
What tyre sizes will you be running?

I have a '98 R34 GT-T. 
I had some Rota Grid 18x9.5 +35 and 18x10.5 +35 with 235/40 tires. 
Fitment looked good but the fronts actually scrubbed on the inside suspension when turning too far. The 235's on the 10.5's were also a bit TOO stretched for my taste.
So today I just installed some Work Emotion 11R 18x9.5 +20's all around and kept the 235/40 tires. The fitment looks perfectly flush with the rear fenders but sticks out considerably on the front. VERY aggressive but it DOES fit with stock fenders and doesn't scrub. I like it. I don't intend to roll. I'm running stock GT-R shocks/struts.

So I went to purchase my rims today but they ran out of 18 x 9.5 + 38 for the rear, but they had the 18 x 9.5 +20 instock.
I know the rear for the gtt has some room to play with, and was told the +38 was rather safe. Would i be able to run the +20 offset for the rear with 255/35 tires with no scrubing and not so much poke to get defected? Or should i go 235/40 tires?
Ultimately I want a safe but flush fitment. Yours look pretty ideal [emoji108].
Any thoughts /suggestions appreciated!

18x9 + 30 is what i run on the front no issues with a 245 tyre at all.. mind you i run my ride hight around 106mm (due to steep drive way) but you should be fine if your lower

18x9.5 + 20 will be fine itl be flush, i would run the 255 tyre (235 is a bit to skinny for a 9.5 tyre imo)

Should fit ok on the back at +20

I've had 9.5 +38 on the back and that fit with no guard work

Mine are +26, with 245/40's and they fit well running about 1.2 degrees camber

I have rolled my guards now however, it would probably scrub without rolling the guards

Will most definitely poke a little, mine poke about 1-2mm unless you run more camber I guess

235's pretty narrow on a 9.5, I've got 245's all round and I wouldn't want any more stretch - not a fan of the massive stretched look

Update: all wheels fitted with re003 235\40

18 x 8.5 + 30 front
18 x 9.5 + 38 rear

Pleased with the front, the rear maybe too much tuck into the body. Considering reducing camber in rear so fitments looks better but it's not a big deal.

I've been told that the tire sizing 235\40 for 9.5 was acceptable and then others saying it's not ideal etc etc been really conflicting. Did a little research and most prefer not to fit 235\40 for 9.5 apart from this website and Bridgestone who said it should be acceptable. http://www.tyresizecalculator.com/tyre-wheel-calculators/wheel-rim-size-calculator

Is there anything I should be cautious about given it may be considered stretched even if it's abit?

This might sound odd, but can you get some close up shots of how the re003's at 235/40 sit on your 9.5" rims?

From what I've seen they seem to be quite a wide fit and can't find any pics online. I'd imagine 235/40/18 would be priced reasonably also given the common size

Yeah that's the reason I wrapped it in 235\40 as it was cheaper option given Bridgestone was doing a promotion. Once these wear out I shall go proper sizing. received_10155667226972586.thumb.jpeg.16

Has anyone managed to fit a 285,295 or even a 305 tyre on a R34GTT without having issues. I understand that i will probably need to pump the guards too. Keen to know what what offset was used. Reasons being I have an RWD car and would like to put the power down. Suspension has been setup to maximise straight line traction but I think my 265s are letting me down.

Anyone able to help me figure out which offset this square set of work XT7’s is? Can’t find it anywhere :( 18x9.5

235/40 stretched up front, 255/35 on rear. Both seem to only just clear the coilovers

Completely eyeballing it only, I am saying they are probably +20.

I have 9.5 +27, and yours look to be sitting out about 7mm more than mine :p, and I wouldn't say they are +12's because they don't look 15mm further out than mine.


Surely the wheel says though on the back of it?

If i were you, and haven't yet picked those wheels up, do not pick those wheels up because those rears will not fit under any circumstances you can think of for the rear under stock quarters.

I’m gonna be picking up a used set of 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +22 for my GTT.  GTR look bodykit from eastbear but stock fenders and quarters. Stock ride height for now. Wish me luck lol

Kinkstaah is right, the wheels will never fit but with stretched tyres you might be ok. You will need 235/30 for the front And likely 255/25 for the rear

i tried to get heroic and squeeze 275’s on the back but the passenger side has scrubbed away about 2mm of sidewall. With a +25 offset I’m gonn need to downsize to 265/35/18

I also adjusted the camber to negative 1.25 degrees

    • 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.
    • 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?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
