I found it after I posted Ive gon through about 3/4 of it and nothing really suggest that 18x10 +12 will sit inside the guards of r33gtr. I'm working through it from newer to older posts. Someone did suggest that it might be 2mm outside the guards. ??? Still looking

So, seeing as I already gave you the answer I will do this.

If 18x10.5 +15 is a popular size for the gtr folk around here (maybe you should google pics of that setup before you ask a silly question), do you think a 18x10 +12 would sit closer or further from the hub? I suggest you google again before saying "I dont know, thats why I made this thread.

And for roadworthy they wont pass depending on state and dickness level of mechanic.

I'm new to all this mate to go easy ;) I'll have a guess and I would say 18x10 +12 would closer to the guard then a 18x10.5 +15. So was I right and feel free to make me feel stupid.

It should fit. I have +15 on my GTST and it touched the guards. Rolled them and fine. Sure its a little less offset but you have much wider guards.

Also use this calculator for change in speedo http://www.inawise.com/tyre-calculator/tyre-size-calculator.html

I made sure I calculated my tyres and wheels, with new config at 100km/h I'm doing 99.3km/h

I have to amend this as I didnt read correctly.

It would be closer to the hub than a 10.5 +15. FURTHER from the guard.

Are you sure? less +ve is equivalent to more -ve and means wheels stick out more.

I also need to correct something I wrote earlier. Not that I was wrong, just that it wasn't relevant to the thread because I forgot the OP was talking about a GTR.

    • I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.
    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
