Okay I'm looking for a 5/6 spoke racing wheels for my N/A R34 coupe, I have found several and currently choosing between varrstoen 2.2.1 and the rota grid and GTR'D/P45R but I'm having trouble picking one due size and fitments, I want P45R's but I want to go 18's but the only available width's are 9.5 and 10.5 at 12+ offset which apparently sit outside the guards which I do not want I want to keep it flush and lined up inside the guard, NOW I've been told that it can be down the back ones will sit in but it's just the front 2 wheels which will need camber arrangements and guard rolling but it'll still sit outside??? the guard..I just need some inform and recommended sizes and fitments?

But the rota girds would fit perfectly fine because they have sizes available 18's by 8.5 with offsets from 12+ to 30+ which will fit fine but my only concern is that the spoke style is a little aggressive for an R34 25GT opinions would be awesome?> if any one has them maybe a photo?

and my last question is the Varrstoen 2.2.1 they only have 18 by 9.5 but the offsets go from 12+ to i think 30+ which to what I think the wheels will sit inside the guard fine or the camber/tyre will need to adjusted?

In the end I want that concave dish fill like with te37's on a GTR R34

cheers thank you

thanks, I've been told koya drift tek 18 by 8.5 front and 9.5 rear with with 18+ offset fits flush and looks wicked

+18 with a 9.5 inch rim will be seriously pushing it on a 34, would like good with some guard work and camber.

I have 17x9" rims on my 33 and with +28 the sit quite well, with a 9.5 inch rim that makes it the equivalent of +40ish to sit the same... So anything under Probley a +25/30 will be pushing it.

(better yet borrow ur mates rims, test fit, profit lol)

    • 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.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • 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.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
