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

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
