9.5 +45 on the front will be interesting, I'm thinking you will need decent sized spacers on the front as well so it doesnt look heaps sunken, may have issues hitting the suspension without spacers as well although im not sure about that

All right I run a 9 +14 on the rear with 3degrees neg camber and rim is out side the guard ,so a 10.5 + 20 with a 7mm spacer is going to stick out 20mm more and have 18mm less clearance inside ???? How's that going to fit? Jet r 31 runs a 9.5 + 25 with a 5mm spacer so they don't fowl his rear coils so that works out to 9.5+20 so yours would have 6mm less clearance to the strut so it would hit and extend 20mm more ?

you 'might' get lucky and get the rear to work with a 7mm spacer (15 would be better to gain you some inner clearance).. below are pics of 18x9.5+0 all round, the car has an s14 cradle fitted (same width as manual stagea) with 3deg negative camber on the fronts and half a degree negative on the rear. the 20x10.5+20 with a 7mm spacer will have the outer edge sitting exactly the same but i've included a pic of the inner clearance i had - which is why i suggested a slightly bigger spacer as the 20" rim in more than likely to foul on the coilover spring seat/spring. with an auto rear cradle you'll be up shit creek.

front will fit with a 25mm spacer, but i'd recommend something like 40mm or so to at least have them match the way the rears will fit.

good luck.

Hmmm, I have r34 gtr wheels on the car now. There 18x9 +30 all the way round, I just assumed the 20x10.5 +25 would sit 5mm less from hanging out the guard, and thought the front would hang out 15mm more. Why is it so confusing? Can anyone here put me onto a good workshop that will make this work? I will just pay cash so I don't have to stress and do manual labour trying different things.

seems you don't quite understand how how offset and width are related, punch some numbers in to this to get a feel for it http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator

honestly, if you want the simplest option it would be to buy another pair of the 9.5+45's and run 25mm spacers all round.. then the final result would only stick out just over 10mm more than the current r34gt-r wheels you have on your car now.

This is what i have to deal with, rears fit nicely. Hang out abit tho, gonna buy the right tyres for rear soonish.

Fronts i need spacers maybe 10mm to clear the brakes or even 7mm. plus i need the right tyres also, i will be stretching tyres to go on these rims, only option i have really......

took some shit pictures of my brakes on front my apologies.

they suit the red perfectly, but i guess it depends how you define 'fit'. i think you'll still run in to dramas with the rear, more-so the inner clearance - have you checked? only reason i ask is because we've all seen the tell tale marks of metal to metal contact on the threads of rear coilovers in these things from running ~9.5+15 when going over bumps (ie gaining more camber when the suspension compresses) and a 10.5+25 has 23mm less clearance, so those wheels would have to be sitting pretty darn close already..

theyll fit easy with a narrower tyre and some camber. would roll your guards to be safe too

as above, camber isn't an option with the little clearance he'd already have to the rear strut

big +1 on the big brake kit!

    • You know what, I am enjoying your updates, but I have to say it is pretty poor form to walk into a shop that is paying for space and stock on the floor, try all their seats to work out what you are happy with, then buy somewhere else. If everyone did that the shop will be out of business with no opportunity for anyone to try a seat before buying. 👎  
    • Good work, and thanks for posting up your solution for future people!
    • Yeah mate that’s the plan, I just want something I can have fun in and work on during weekends.  There’s really only 1 road fit to drive the car on and luckily is been redone recently.  I do want to tune it next year sometime, no dynos here so I’m looking at an ECU that can be remote tuned. 
    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
