Hey,

I have an R34 Gtt with Nismo S Tune shocks fitted all round and currently running Lenso D1R wheels all round which are 18x8.5 all round but not sure of the offset. Tyres are 235/40/18.

I've come across a staggered set to of Lmgt4's at a good price but not too sure about the staggered sizing look just yet? Does anyone else run similar set ups?

The fronts are 17x8.5 +30 front tyres are 225/40/17 and the rear is 18x9.5 +38 with 235/40/18 tyres.

How would this setup fit/ run and obviously look?

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers

Front tyres are stretched onto rims that wide, so are infected with AIDS and will infect you too. If you do plan on using them you should go up to at least 235/45 if not 255/40.

Rears are also stretched onto rims that wide and will give you AIDS from behind. You don't want that. Unless you're into that kind of thing, of course.

And that's just dealing with the tyres. The different diameter thing is not my cup of tea.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

34geeteetee thanks for the offer but if I do change my lensos it'll only be lmgt4's going on! I'm a bit of a Nismo whore.. Then again aren't we all? :P

The rims aren't on a 34 lol. They are on an old Toyota crown I believe? That's why I'm not sure about the offset suiting a GTT? To be honest I thought they would be stretched considering the rears are a whole inch wider then my current rims fitted with the same 235 width tyres.

I was thinking 235/45/17 tyres for the front. What about the rear? 255/40/18? Then would the rear guards need rolling?

Thanks guys

Hahaha Hadouken!

I'd be running 265's as well.. But whether they will scrub without rolling guards I don't know.. I was hesitant on the +38 offset but it seems Nismo recommend 18x9.5 +38 on the back with 255/35/18 tyres on the r33.. See below. But I can't find anything for a 34!!!

The offsets will fit especially if you stretch the tyres. I have the same (+33 on the front) on my R34 but mine are both 18's not 17's at front and 18's at rear.

Also my wheels are LMGT2's... so far as 'same' they aren't really. But the offsets are. I also have 275's on the back with no rolling nor flaring. I'd wager they can be made to fit even if they're slightly too big.

Yeah thanks Gtsboy, that's what I thought..

Of course kinkstaah, anything can be made to fit! :P I love the look of LMGT2's on 34's. Do you have a pic?

I also found this on the forum. Thanks to Shoujiki! Seems the offset is perfect.. Just going to need to get some new Michelin Pilot Sport 3's fitted!! :)

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
