My LMGT4 are +30 front & +38 rear too.

During accident repair I had them roll the rears, but there's plenty of room there with 255's even without - I just figured 'what the hell'. However, even with 225 on the front I get some scrubbing - particularly on full lock, turning in driveways, etc.

My car isn't super-low but I've been pondering raising the front to try and reduce the scrubbing some. I would imagine it would be worse with 235, but I guess you can always try it out. It will depend how low it is, obviously.

Same wheels! Nice!

Hmm, well you see I have 235's on the front atm. But that's with the stock wheels. Still, fairly wide for a 7.5" rim. I never have any issues with them. My car isn't low at all really. Tein Super Street springs, only dropped the car about an inch.

This might be a trial and error process after all :P

Ok got tyres fitted up yesterday. Ended up with 235/40/18 at the front and 265/35/18 at the rear. Absolute perfect fit in my opinion. Wheels fit in perfectly with no scrubbing at all. I think it fills up the guards nicely.

What do we think?

Looks good, I recently just bought a set of silver LMGT 4's like yours too, same everything but 17", and will probably go the same width tyres as you :P

But my fronts get really dirty after one drive :|

Thanks for the kind words! I'll grab some more angles soon when the weather clears up (camera ran out of battery).

Feels great to drive indeed. You can feel the lightness in the wheels when you corner. Didn't really feel any difference in acceleration or response. More so in cornering response. There is slight increased road noise and a slight more harshness in the bumps (but you can't feel any more bumps than I did before, just the ones I did feel, are a bit sharper). But I guess that's a given going to a lower profile tyre. Overall though I love them!

Hi guys, I'm new here and I've recently have gotten myself gotten new wheels for my r34 25gt, 18x8.5+20 in the front and 18x9.5+30 at the rear. The rear sticks out about an inch or less out of the guards, I was wondering if there was a way I could make it stick out less, or are they just too wide?

My bad, wheels are 18x8.5 + 30 and 18x9.5 + 20

knew you had to have made a mistake. i used to have 9.5 x 35 on my rears, they were PERFECT fitment flush with the guards. there's nothing you can do, the wheels are wheels and you can't lessen offset like that. only solution : get new wheels (again)

As above, you can't make them fit any better. Unless you widen your guards! Correct offset for 9.5" rim on the GTT is +38. Mine fit perfectly with no scrub and fills out to the guard line. Your's being +20 means they will sit 18mm further OUT of the guard line. Which as you say, about an inch! Need different wheels is what it comes down to.

I have a few question

im looking to put the varrstoen ES1 18x9.5 front +22 and 18x10.5 +22 for rear.

whats the highest offset you can use that will clear the front calipers?

I was thinking of going 234/40 in ft and 265/35 rears, will it be a big stretch on those tires?

will the rears rub at all?

will I have to roll the fenders?

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
