34 GTR rims are 18x9 +30 Chris. It's a good ball-park for decent wheel fitment for 34 GTT's

Cool, so 18x9.5 + 34 would probably fit OK at the front and no worries at the rear I'm guessing. The hard part for me is getting me head around the offsets!

Being 12.7mm wider but sitting in 4mm more they'd poke out 8.7mm more than 34R rims? Does that calculation sound about right?

If I run the same size/offset front and back, will the track me the same front and back? The tyres I have now are 235/40's and if possible I'd like to use them, as they are good quality tyres

yeah i reckon so. The picture on the previous page of the blue 34 GTT you put up had wheel offsets of 18x9.5 +20 running 235 40 18's, which has a small amount of stretch and poke.

No problems running same size rim/tyre front and rear mate, at least you can rotate them to get decent mileage out of them

Ok nice. That fitment at the front is probably a bit too aggressive for what I'm after - but a 34 offset as opposed to a 20 should sit in nicely I guessing.

C'mon tax return!

correct, and doit!!

GTR are 9" +30 and fit nice, but could be a little more.

Chris head to my build thread.

I have a set of 2.2.1's

18x9.5 +22

All round fitment and I love it.

Nice, they do seem to fit well. I'm guessing that a 34 will have very similar fit

So can anyone tell me what offset I need for my 20x9 inch ring to fit inside the guard on my r33 gtst ?

About +15 will give you a pretty flush fitting.

+10 will give you hectic stance

Not sure how the guards will like it though.

These tyres are for the front.

So how wide do you think i can go on the rear?

    • 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.
