this is bad advice! Not to mention these are illegal

Because slamming your car and having rims poking 10mm outside the guard isn't.

Hub centralising spacers are fine for daily use - if he told me he was tracking it I would have said no.

clearly you have no idea what is good and bad when it comes to suspension/wheels but im not going to get into an E fight with you...FYI i bolded that section of your quoted text for a reason!

let me know when you have some experience in suspension

How would fitting xxr002 16x8 +0 go for a r32 gtst coupe with 205/50 tyres? I'm wondering how brake clearance would be and if spacers would be needed. I have a guard roller and adjustable camber arms.

brake clearance shouldnt be an issue.....pretty agressive wheels tho! pics when fitted

he's got you there damo... you said illegal, which having rims out of your guards is :P

Won't fit over the front calipers. Knew itd be an issue but was being hopeful lol, time to buy spacers

Thought they would have fit easy, i have 15x10's on my 33 and they fit no problem

Chaps,

After reading through 115 pages of this thread, I have a bit better of an idea of what sized wheels I should be looking at, but this question is more R34 GTT specific.

I'd like to run

18 x 9 +20 Front (235/40)

18 x 10 + 12 Rear (245/40)

I currently only have Blitz ZZ-R coilovers fitted, but open to comments about what other kind of suspension components needed to run this setup.

Cheers,

Shazza

no issues with the coilovers there. Will need to lip the guards on the rear but the fronts will be no issues. would help if you had rear upper adjustable camber arms but shoud be able to squeeze them in without too much hassles

Hi Frosty,

Thanks for the quick reply. I intend on getting a set of rear camber arms, and front eccentric camber adjustable bolts for adjustment regardless.

Would a 255/40 fit on the 10" wheel on the rear, without much issues?

255 is a big tyre you would want to run a smaller tyre unless you go mexican and run camber but then defeats the purpose anyway. if you look at my signature the one on the right is a R32 with 18x9.5 +12 all round with 235/40 an the GTT is roughly 15mm wider each side in the rear

not at all and only if its more than 25mm ;)

The wheel and tyre must be contained within the body work or mudguards (including any flares) when the

wheels are in the straight ahead position.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
