has anyone fitted R33 GTR rims to an R34 GTR??? How would they sit in the gaurds???

Chasing some 17's so I can get an bit of tyre flex on the strip, can anyone suggest any 33gtr altenitives ???

Today I fitted my brand new enkei 18x9.5+12 with new advan 245/45/18, and on the left front wheel it scrapes with the rear of the arch when turning slowly? am I going have to get new tires with smaller profiles???

you could:

  • live with it
  • roll guards
  • camber
  • buy smaller profiled tyres
  • raise it

personally I'd buy some 235/40/18's

It only catches the side skirts front connection plate that comes into the wheel arch..... so annoying, I removed it becasue it was pulling it off tearing the plastic. Rarrrrrrh

the guard liner?

if you are hitting that it's a good idea to lip the guards just enough so they dont catch the tyre ever and tear the guard in half

(like blags lol)

not the guard liner, on my r32 gtr the front of the side skirt actually comes around into the wheel arch and theres 2 screws,

Was thinking that but am unsure what + I need. Think it is around +20 to sit nicely in the guards of a 34 GTR

im so happy with these matte black rpfs, and for unsprung weight reasons aswell, there super light, only 7kgs!!!!! Forged BBS LMS which are forged are 12kgs in the same size!

bend and remove.... bend and remove ;)

I'm thinking of a set of matte black RPF01 in 18 x 9.5 +12 for the evo

Hey guys,

Was looking at getting some: Rota GRIDR 18 x 9.5, 5x114.3, +20 Absolute Green

To put on my '99 R34 GTT, It's currently lowered with stocks wheels still on it, doesn't have a camber kit as far as I'm aware. Anyone know how hard/easy it will be to get these to fit? Camber kit or rolling guards should be fine? Or just spend the money now and get a camber kit right away.

Cheers, Zac

Those rims will fit but you will need to roll guards n do some liner work.

Otherwise it all also depends on how much camber you do end up running as well as tyre size.

As far as camber kits go, they are only needed to reduce camber after lowering the car (essentially you can have heaps of camber from the stock arms if ur car is lowered, it is getting less than 1-1.5 degrees that is the problem once it is lowered). Obviously this isnt going to help the rims fitting as taking camber out puts the tyres closer to the wheel arch that is the limiting factor in actually fitting big rims with lower offset.

Any suggestion for tyre size? Its daily driven for now. So pretty much i'd just be looking at rolling the guards abit and giving it abit more camber, i love camber but don't want huge amounts as its daily driven,

stretch is against my religion. But a 235 should see you right.

Otherwise camber is also a bad thing in a street driven daily unless you dont mind paying the $ that it costs in how much quicker you chew ur tyres out because of said camber.. but around 1 degree on the rear should see the rims n tyres fitting as well as minimal tyre wear from it.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
