what would be an ideal wheel offset?

i bought some 18"x 8" wheels with a +42 offset

i have stock suspension,i bought them 5 weeks ago overseas and i pick them up today, son of rajab hopes i can get them to clear the suspension

perhaps someone like meggala can help with what would be the ideal offset?

Hrms I got some 18x8 with +40.... they best be fitting on my damn car :) Possible way to get them fit is to adjust the struts to be at max negative camber and the factory camber adjustment set to maximum positive... sould give a bit more clearance.

I have 18x8 I believe. The front has spacers, max camber (whatever setting it is) and it's rolled.

If your going to lip/roll the guards, make sure you do it properly, with dollys and a dead blow, not those crappy gaurd rollers that sit on the hub.

What happens if you use the hub roller thingies?

Ive heard stories of paint seperation later on, plus you will notice that the wheel arch isnt a semi circle.

Mate of mine works for Car Shine, rolls/lips guards on a lot of BMW/Mercs/Audis etc, he said they use to use a hub mounted guard roller, but had a lot of problems and complaints, and went back to doing it the old way. Now the guard roller sits in a pile of tyres out the back.

Oh Mr Eps I just had a thought whilst on the dunny.... the reason why your wheels fit at the moment is that youre using standard struts... so your springs are acutally seated above the level of the tyre. You just wait till you try and fit coilovers... the tyre and wheel will definately foul on a coilover spring. You best be ordering spacers with your coilovers tiger, or choose a suspension package that utilises the same type of strut design.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
