R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

[GTSBoy]

Nah, don't bother doing any actual measurements on the car. Just go ask the inter-f**king-net.

I currently have 18 x 9 +30 on the front with 18 x 10.5 +38 on the rear. Absolutely regretted it. Ended up putting 15 mm spacers on front and 25 mm spacers on the rear. Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers. Definitely would go more aggressive then what you were originally planning. Keep in mind my guards are rolled and cars fair low so you might possibly need to roll guards depending how aggressive you go and how low the car is. Im not an expert but the

18 x 8.5 +25

18x9.5 +30

Sounds like it would sit much better.

Thank god i didnt place the order. I saw some photos and didnt look aggressive enough for me.

I've read 18x9.5 +20 all round is a good size for the gtts, do you think 9.5 +20 will fit in the front?

 

I think ill go 18x9.5 +20 for the rears, stupid question but the lower the offset the more concave i get from the spokes right?

I thought the whole idea of having a forum on the internet is to ask random people who have no idea for advice on how to do things😜😅

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?

^ lots of good points made above.

The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media.

My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different.

My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure.

Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan.

So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work.

Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
