R34 GTT stock wheel size? Fit R32?

I've tried to measure the offset of my stock R32 rims. It's a bit hard to be sure on the car but they seem to have 40mm offset.

If my 6.5" R32 rims are 40mm offset and Gtt rims are 7" would 35mm be near the ideal offset?

Does anyone know what the actual Gtt offset is?

They are 7.5 wide not 7.

Stock tyre size is 225/45/17.

Offset is roughly 35 front, 38 rear. - May want to double check that

Are you sure the offset is different front to back?

I bought a set of GTT rims today and they are all the same. The offset seems to be 39 or 40mm. It's a bit hard to measure to the mm with the tyres on.

From outside to outside the rims are 22mm wider than my 6.5" R32 rims so yeah, they are probably 7.5".

Anyway they look like a 100% legal upgrade for the R32 :)

Yes i was wrong about the offset. That was the offsets for 18x8 and 18x9 to fit my car. Nfi why i remembered at the time that they were stock offsets.

But yes they are most definitely 7.5 wide. Tyre placards etc state it.

I tried fitting them today.

Julzz was right, the fronts don't quite clear the TypeM caliper.

A 3mm spacer would fix it but aren't these illegal?

They only just touch as you fully tighten the wheel nuts.

Actually there would be plenty of thickness in the caliper to shave about 2mm off the edge that touches the wheel.

Is this too bodge?

majority of people shave off the Nissan wording on the caliper, this usually gives enough clearance for the rims.

id prefer to do that instead of spacers, as spacers are illegal.

Mine didnt touch the nissan logo, it was far from it. It was hitting the whole edge of the caliper when the tyre was rotated.

I have 34gtt rims on my 32gtst, they are 7.5" wide. I'm running 225s on the front and 245s on the back.

Initially had to run a 3mm spacer on the front as the rims bound up on the brakes, when I changed to 33gtst brakes this problem went away and I didn't need the 3mm spacer (there is barely 1mm of clearance though).

I have fitted r34 gtt rims onto a r33 gtst with no problems at all.. No need for spacers etc

However it might be ideal putting 3mm spacers on.

offsets are 38 (so i have read on these forums in the past threads)

I dont see why it wont fit a r32.

They got smaller brakes right? compared to 33s? if so then will fit perfect

I have seen pics of 32s with 34 gtt rims :P

bubba- WOW you got 245s on a 7.5inch width rim?? how? lol

thought 235s would be the most..

Yup same here.

however, its like a mm off from touching.

Rims still rotate freely!!

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
