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?

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

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

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
