Hi guys, Iv been thinking of getting some wheels for my r34 Gt iv done a search but nothing what im looking for.

Im Been looking at Te37SL in either 17" or 18" iv been told by a wheel supplier some sizes

17"x8 +40 (Fronts) and 17x9 +22 (Rears) and basically the same at the 18"s i was wondering if this size would be ideal? without any modifications to the gaurds don't really want to roll the guards.

Or if someone could advise me on a Size would be great, i also plan on getting some coilovers or lowering the car a little bit if thats has anything to do with it?

Thanks! :)

hey.. i tried sum 19x9+30s on the back and 19x8+30's on the front of my R34 sedan, which im pretty sure are the same setup (correct me if im wrong), but did not fit well at all, i mostly had trouble with the top of the tyre rather than the side, but it was still very on the inside of the wheel to touching stock suspension, also with the +30's the wheels sat roughly 5mm out of the guard which u would get done by cops easily.. i suggest grab urself a set of coilovers first and setup, then go to a wheel shop and ask them if they can trial fit a wheel (doesnt have to be te37s) but once uve got a rough idea of what size then purchase them, save you a lot of time and effort..

hope i could help..

Hey, i recently went to import monster and was having a chat to aaron who knows a fair decent amount of info on skylines, i mentioned that the 19's didnt fit and scrubbed on and he was confused, he mentioned that you can fit 19x9's under the back, so i pulled my car in the factory there and we jacked it up and chucked on 19x9's +30's which are the same as other rims i had tried, they seemed to fit nicely and not scrub at all, and looked tuff, but in my opinion looked too... 'get your huge rims on ya commodore bro' sat too high (stock height) and sat about 5mm out the guard. I was originally there for some coilovers and pricing etc. and aaron mentioned to me that i could possibly fit 19x10's +30 on the back without scrubbing, my previous post may have been wrong, aaron also mentioned get a set of coilovers first, get the car sitting nice and how you like it, then if your wanting more camber or adjustment in your suspension, spend money on adjustable arms etc. then once you've spent money on that and have it sitting how your want, then start spending money on rims, and wen your happy with that.. drive it.. :)

hope this helped again..

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
