hi guys im new to sau so not sure if there is already a thread that can answer my question.

cut it short, i have got these italian MAK wheels(18x9, 5/114.3 PCD, offset 55) that i want to put them on my GTT. i have fond that the optimum 18inch wheels and tyres combination for a GTT is

Front: 18x 8.5 (35 offset) 235/40R18

Rear: 18x 9.5 (38) 255/35R18

Now the question is what size spacers should be used on these wheels so that their offset(original 55) will become equivalent of a 35 and 38? the reason i ask is because i have been told that 18x9 wheels with offset of 55 is too wide for the GTT and will probably damage(touching) the suspension.

any comments would be helpful.

thanks in advance. :(

u might also need longer studs?

so the nuts have some meat to bite and grip onto, because ur taking about 20mm off the length essentually.

would be easier to sell off the wheels and get new ones. Where did you get the wheels from? ...

take them back?

etc, so many things u cld do

*sigh*

Your thinking of the wrong spacers ! You cant use them the studs are not that long so you can put spacers and then the wheels on .

You can buy bolt on spacers and they have their own studs .

i think i might take your advise just sell them and get some monoblock lightweight 17*8 rims with the exact offset.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
