Looks mint! I cant believe the 265's sit like that on a 9.5 +22, especially on the front. I think when i get new wheels, ill run a thinner tyre on the front and dial out a bit of camber to help with tyre wear.

What was the reason for the 7mm spacer in the rear? Inner scrub issues?

Nah no scrub, just had the space to push it out a bit more. If i bought these wheels new i would have got +15 for the rear

I have a 93 R32 GTST Type M, wanting to run 17x8 +28 rims (Work meister S1 2P). Any guard work needed? Will they clear calipers? Car has coilovers but very little camber adjustment as mostly stock suspension arms. Anything else I should know? Really want to avoid flaring/pumping/stretching guards at this point...

Has anyone got an example of the following on a 33 gtst

18x9.5 +27

18x9 +27

I saw the example last page of the white 33 with +22

How similar are these going to look because his looks amazing and exactly what I want but the rims only come in +27

Hey guys..

Just been searching through a few pages but yet to come across any confirmation..

Looking to see if the following will fit an R34 GTR,

19 x 10.5 +22

Cheers

I would have thought you would have scrubbing issues on fronts. I could be wrong though.

Assuming same width, yours will have 5mm less poke. Nothing to be too concerned about.

So to the eye it will pretty much look identical.

If I run the same width as him of 9.5 and same tires.

From what I read it will just need a roll on all corners

Yeah 5mm here or there won't make or break the look dude.

9 +27 on the front may not even need a roll, depending on height etc, but for the extra $100 you might as well get it done

Trying to make up my mind between 9 or 9.5

Not worried about having to roll the guards but

Are any other offsets available? You could run 9.5 +27 all round, fronts might have some inner clearance issues though

I'm just looking at Rotas rims because im a cheap ass.

They have a few of their grid range in +20 etc

I was looking at the BOOST 18 9 5x114.3 27

But I don't mind running 9 if the 9.5 has inner clearance issues.

9.5 and 9 mean the offset will be different, and for the sake of half an inch you are better off going 9's imo. Unless he specifically ran 9.5s with no issues.

9.5 + 27 = 9 + 22

Wider rim = less offset needed to poke the same amount, but then you get clearance issues. I want to run 10.5 all round but fronts will rub.

Because I don't want the clearance issue I would prefer the 9+27

Edit: used the calc and there is a 6mm difference between the 9.5 and the 9

So that means of the 9.5+27 is around 5mm difference to his setup

Then 9+27 will be about 11mm difference to his setup which will remove a bit of poke but still have a nice flush stance.

Will the fronts be flush with 9+27

Edit again: f**k I love this calculator finding so many good combos that are similar to his such as 9+20 only has a 4mm difference

lol kasko, if you want to see an example of how 18x9 +27 sits looks for photos of 33's with r34gtr wheels. They will poke 3mm more then those... Itll fit nice IMO

If you want to go 9.5 on the front, you have to go low 20's in offset for inner clearance, so you will get a bit of poke but as the pics on previous pages show it looks tough.

Look at it this way, the difference between 9" and 9.5" is 12.5mm. Therefore in the same offset a wheel that is 9.5" will be 6.25mm wider on each side of the wheel, than a 9"

Kasco just go 9.5+27 all round.

if you go back probably 12 months in this thread there's a pic of my car with 9.5+25 all round

Tried looking through to find it.

I guess you didnt have any clearance issues up front?

Rota also offer 9.5 + 20

Could go that if you were feeling a bit more ambitious

I keep looking at this but I dont want to have heaps of guard work.

Might test fit some 9.5 +20's when I lower the car to where I want

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
