It's barely a stretch. 245 is the legal minimum and 235 is within minimum spec for most tyre manufacturers.

At 9.5+20 of it's low you either have to stretch your tyres or your guards....

Yeah the front guards are already rolled and the car is sitting only a tiny bit lower than stock height (nismo s tune suspension)

I might trial fit 235 like you suggested, and maybe 255 if that fits easy

I have 225 on my 9.5+20. Main reason being that if you have 255 on there, you will not be able to lower it much less than factory. I have dropped mine about 20mm, and it sits on the tyre very nicely. 9.5+20 is a very aggressive rim, and while I wouldn't have it any other way, it's cop bait for sure. I recently get a defect notice because of this. That being said, as soon as the farker is off, I will be slamming it again.

Ahh bollocks, i thought 9.5+20 only stuck out a tiny bit (from pics I've seen), and that cops wouldn't bother me too much. Do you have any pics of how much yours sticks out?

Edit: seen your car before actually haha looks mad! Never realised it was yours

Hey guys,

tossing up between these two sets of wheels:

Rays Grams Light 57F-Pro

19x8 +17

19x9.5 +17

or

Work XT-7

18x8.5 +28

18x9.5 +32

I know the XT7's won't be a problem but the rear rays will be for an R34 GTT. From my research I think the 9.5+17 should sit about the same as a 10.5 +30 which means they will poke a bit. I have Tein coilovers so there is some natural camber on my car already. Could I get away with no guard work for the Rays? The fronts should sit the same as a 9 +30 wheel. I like both wheels a lot but the dish on the Rays looks too good.

Cheers

Both of those will look terrible in thise sizes. Im not gonna sugar coat it as it's a lot of coin to waste.

Your rears will poke by some ~10mm on the 19's and sit in about the same on the 18's.

Your fronts will be sunken like an itallian cruise liner on both.

18's look better than 19's on that car (in that style of rim). 19's would be for more of a VIP thang.

If you want flush on a gtt look at 18x9.5+25ish front AND rear and run 235/40

Can someone help me find the perfect sizing for R34 GTT?
I'm after TE37 17's But unsure of what offset and size.
I will roll my guards.
I will be ordering from Jesse Streeter.
Hoping for it to look really aggressive.. like a GTR.
Thinking > 17x9 +22 offset..
Are spacers required?

Hi looking for some help on new wheels/tyres for my R33 GTR.

Would either of these dimensions fit with no mods (18x9.5 + 18 or 18x10 +18)? Planning on running 265/35/18. Would one fit better than the other? The car is lowered on bilstein coilovers.

I don't want it to look 'stretched' or 'poked' or 'slammed' just want to fill the guards nicely and lower the car sensibly and make it look tough. Thanks for your help. If anyone has any pics I would really appreciate it.

Hi guys,

I've just bought a 32 GTR and looking to get as much rubber as I can under the guards. I'm aware 18x10 +20 is near on optimum. Toying with the idea of going 18x10.5 +25. Anyone had any experience with that size? Not adverse to rolling the guards, more concerned about strut clearance and front turning clearance.

Any feedback appreciated.

18x9.5 + 18 with 265/35/18 is perfect

for a 10' rim i would go +20

He has an R33, so +18 is fine. I'd run 275-285 on the 10" though (I have 275/35/18 on mine).

But no mods, 9.5+18 with 265 tyres is a safe bet.

Thanks for your input guys. Much appreciated.

ok i feel like im asking a stupid question but i cant quite work it out.

for a 32 gtr regarding staggered offsets,
i know everyone sais it will trip the atessa system.

how sensitive is it?
i want to maby run say 18X9 and 18X10 for instance (offset asside) if i run the same size tire on each will it be ok? or do i need to run wider tires to negate the tire stretch?

i understand the rolling diametre needs to be the same for obvious reasons for the 4x4 system, but how does the wheel width stuff it up?

yes yes, but can anyone answer the question?

if rolling diameter is the same, why do staggered wheels mess with the 4wd system?
is it really sensitive enough to have tire shape deformed by stretching or different tire widths change the rolling diameter? surly not.

Yes it is. Deflate one of your tyres to 20-25psi and observe the changes (if your ATTESA is working correctly).

As long as the rolling diameters are almost identical, you *should* be okay. E.g. 245/40 front and 275/35 rear.

Or you can run 275/35/18 all round :P

    • 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.
