need help regarding wheels


Recommended Posts

need to get some feed back on what people think about the situation im in tomorow, im selling a set of 18x10in wheels tomorrow for another set of 18in rims, but i got word today for the same price as the 18in wheels im going to buy tomorrow i can get a set of 19x8 all round. with 255/30/19 rubbers. now the problem is i think i want to get the 19s but when i spoke to the guy at the tyre place im buying my wheels, he wants to do me a package on 20in wheels for a couple of hudred dollars more then the 19s.

now im stuck thinking should i get the 19s with 255's or get the 20s with 235 rubber.

i get wheel spin with 255s and am worried that the 20s wont have enough traction for my car.

looking for some feedback on what people would choose so i know when i get there tomorrow what wheels to choose.

ive spoken to alot of ppl about the 20s i have for my car

they have 245s on em atm

eveyone has told me to get them widened and put 285s

you would only be able to do this if yours rims are 3 peice though

i think 235s are too small so go the 19s unless the 20s are 3 peice

the 255's are on the 19s and 235's are on the 20s, i dont think they are 3 peice but ill find out tomorrow, i think the better option is to get 20s for show and a seperate set of 16s with slicks on for the creek

GTR's require dish.

To late for a refund? :P

gtrs do look good with a deep dish, but unfortunaly in 20s you cant get a really deep dish wheel. will take some pics and see how i go, if it doesnt look good, will have to buy another set of 20s that have at least a little dish if not a big one

wreckedhead, those 20" wheels are pretty much rice wheels since they have 235 rubber. They are more show than go. I'd say stick with your old rims, or go the 19s. If you wanna go 20, get something decent. I'd say with at least 255 or 265 rubber. Also, keep in mind that you get what you pay for. 20s for cheap? must be poor quality and really heavy. Something typical of tempetyres wheels, cheap and nasty.

actually the rubber is 245, which is standard on r34 gtr's, and you cant fit anything bigger under the normal gtr gaurds as im about 3mm from scraping metal. also i like your comment about you get what you paid for, there might be a differnce between my cheap and your cheap.

but just so you know they arnt heavy and they a tempe tyre special wheel.

with my 20s atm they are 245 and everyone i have spoke to have told me i can fit 285 and that i shouldnt go any smaller

these guys are speaking from experience as well so its not guess work you just need the right offset

im getting new outers made for my rims to push them out to 285 on the rear ill probably stay 245 on the front

heres a pic of my rims ;)

    • What's your intended usage for the car? GT-Rs already have a mechanical LSD at the back, provided the clutch packs are still in good condition, it should delivery 50/50 torque split between LHS & RHS rear wheels.  Wouldn't hurt to put in a helical front diff, however would avoid a clutch pack front if you want to keep it streetable.
    • Hi all,   was wondering anyone upgrade these and what are their opinions? Worth the time to install for daily driver or just helpful for track cars. Or should just got with a full r34 transmission 6 speed swap. Are the lsd really neccessary with horse power over 600hp? Thanks 
    • Hi all,  Been working on my hks ss turbo setup and making around 540hp without doing a 2.8L stroker upgrade. I feel this is a safe level with the weak link rod screw bolts I heard. What is everyone else putting out safely? I’m running 1.4 bar right now max on 98. I think with the tomei stroker kit I will be able to max the turbos out at around 650hp crank safely.  My friends putting down 525whp with the garret 7s and stroker kit already.    What’s everyone’s thoughts?    I have added my first dyno runs yesterday that I recorded. Curve is super smooth with horse power delivery with twins. Thanks 
    • then it was time for tuning being in WA and having the emtron Quang from wanted motorsports where the work and dyno was being done recommended we have emtron remote tune it to best utilise all of the emtrons awesome features like the torque management and how it does all its wizardry, so of course we had some teething issues mostly with the 25+ year old harness that i wanted to use (i know stupid decision) we had a great final result of 620whp at 23 psi unfortunately didn't take a pic of the graph or ask for a print out. the flat shift was working nicely on the dyno but after the first drive realised it wasn't happy when on the road which we believe is just an issue in the numbers i gave to the tuner so that will be updated so i can really bang some gears. but wow after the first drive it is a totally different car (obviously) but i put a lot of it to the ecu, in the throttle control and feel Aswell as how it comes onto boost now and having a nice close ratio box now gives the car an awesome drivng experience. 20231221_141621.mp4   after having some wiring issues due to using the 25+ year old harness i decided it was my turn to become a sparky and removed the harness, removed parts that i wasn't using anymore and rewired some parts that were just failing rewrapped it all in heat protecting sheaving to help keep it all nice and safe and after a few goes finally have it running nicely. then it was final interior install with the bride xero seats and 6 point scroth harness, aswell as some more minor additions in the bay overall very happy with how it all turned out over the past 2 years or so, and now its time for some track action and some nice new sticky rubber 20231206_162606.mp4
