Gary - great idea for a thread. Will see if it can be stickied.

But maybe can we also add 2 extra lines to it (as I've listed below). Reson for asking is that recently a few people I know with large brakes have puchased rims that don't have the required clearance. For example someone purchsed some 18 x 9.5's Works Emotion rims that don't for over 375mm rotors and another guy purchased some 18 x 10.5 Rays CE28N's that dont fit over 382mm rotors (but the TE37's do fit)

Anyways....

Skyline model = R34 GTR

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 9.5"

Wheel offset = +12

Tyre size = 265/35/18

Modifications to fit = none

Rim Type = Rays LMGT4

Rotor Diameter = 375mm

Edit: I've since discovered that the stock R34 GTR rims don't fit over this size brake set-up. 365mm I think would be ok.

Thats not a bad idea, but another complication is you will also have to list the caliper you are using, as the caliper type influences clearance as much as the rotor does.

The CP555 caliper like yours hugs the rotor pretty well, but there are other calipers in the AP / Alcon / Brembo range that hug the rotors much more. An example is a racing Brembo caliper that fits on a 324mm rotor and fits inside the std 16" GTR rim, my caliper goes nowhere near fitting inside a 16" rim although using the same size rotor

hi guys, can anyone confirm r34gtt rims are 7.5inch wide and +40 offset?

I had a look this morning at just this on a set I have here. The detail on the back says 17x7-1/2JJ and another single number of 40. I did some measurements and it ispretty close to that.

Thanks for the link, the idea of the thread was to get the guys posting up their actual real world exeperiences all in one place.  I don't know about anyone else but I have real problems with using calculated changes (one rim to another) to know whether or not the wheels will actually fit.  An example, so it's 5mm in further, does that mean it will hit on the inner guard or not?  Then there is the brake calliper clearance issues.

Thats why I wanted to have a whole heap of real world results for guys to look up.

:blink: cheers  :blink:

SK,

Brake caliper clearance is an issue I am currently dealing with and it would be good to pass this info on to others too. I've bought 2 sets of wheels from Japan with supposedly the correct offset for an R34gtt but neither of them cleared my front standard brakes. :P It was only after a bit of investigation that I was told that the design of the spokes or X factor which some ppl call it affects whether a wheel will fit or not. The wheels I purchased were an O disk wheel (smaller brake clearance) when I should have purchased a wheel with R disk specifications (larger brake caliper clearance). I am getting 15mm bolt on adaptors made up as we speak. Will let you all know how it goes after I get these fitted as I may then have issues of the wheels sticking out too much! So the next time you are purchasing a wheel from Japan, take this into consideration especially if you have an R34GTT! If you have larger brake calipers in front then even the correct offset won't matter. I'm not a wheel expert and if anyone wants to add/correct what I have contributed please feel free.

Cheers

  • 2 weeks later...

Skyline model = r32 gtst

Wheel diameter = 17

Wheel width =front 8, rear 9

Wheel offset =front +30, rear +35

Tyre size = front 215 45/17, rear 235 40/17

Modifications to fit = none.

Very minor front scrub on the outer edge when cornering and hitting a bump. Rears would require lipping with wider tyres

  • 2 weeks later...

they were work Euroline KH 18x8 +35, 18x9 +37 Fronts wouldn't clear the calipers...had 15mm bolt on adaptors on them...basically turned it into GTR offset...fronts were sitting just slightly outside the guard...barely...looked ok...

x-factor sucks balls

Skyline model = R33 GTS

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 7"

Wheel offset = +32

Tyre size = 225/45?/17

Modifications to fit = 32gtst rotors and calipers, needed 8mm spacers

Rim Type = Endura Racing

Skyline model = R33 GTST

Wheel diameter = 17" front and rear

Wheel width = 8" front, 9" rear

Wheel offset = +32 front, +38 rear

Tyre size = 235/45/17 front, 255/40/17 rear

Modifications to fit = None, hasn't been lowered yet

Rim Type = Buddy Club P1's

i just bought some deeeeeeeeeeeeeep dish rims from japan because i've wanted some huge dished rims for ages now i'm in a bit of trouble i think. I own a 32 gts-t 4 door and these rims are 18x10 front and 18x12 rear, 38 offset. thinking two things now major modifications to guards or selling them. check these puppies out.

ur gonna have to flare the front guards alot to fit 10 inches on the front

Skyline model = R33 GTS-T

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 8" front, 9" rear

Wheel offset = +32 front, +38 rear

Tyre size = 225/45 front, 245/40 rear

Modifications to fit = none

Brakes = stock brakes

Suspension = lowered approx 1"

Edited by WinK

Just copy and fill in the table;

Skyline model = HR30

Wheel diameter = 16

Wheel width = Front 7 & Rear 8

Wheel offset = +38

Tyre size = Front 205/55 & Rear 225/50

Modifications to fit = NIL

Track day wheels 8's all round with 245/45 x 16

Mods required 20mm spacer on front as wheel has been widened in by 1 inch

Just out of interest, what is involved in rolling the lip on the guards?

I'm looking at some 17 x 8 (+32) and 17 x 9 (+38) for my R32 GTS-t...

if its a big drama to roll them, have to get guards sprayed etc, i might go for some slightly smaller rims, heh

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
