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!!

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.

      Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
