Hey guys,

I'm looking at getting a set of Work Meister S13P wheels in 18x9 front & 18x10 rear, +18 offset all round for my R34 sedan.

Currently I'm running R33 GTR wheels 17x9 +30, all wrapped in 235/45/17, lowered with bc coilovers and guards rolled on all four corners. All guard liners are removed and sits low enough without any rubbing on full lock or while driving. I have 15mm spacers on the fronts and 20mm spacers on the rears so effectively I run +15 and +10 offset on the front and rear respectively.

I plan to run 235/40/18's on them. Just wanted to know if these would fit without rubbing/clears brakes & coilovers, before I go ahead and buy them.

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.

Here's how it looks now:

Hey guys, after countless hours reading other peoples setups I picked up some wheels today 18x9.5 +23 on all four. After test fitting them they seem to poke out alot more than I expected. Can anyone tell me if they'll tuck inside the guards? Car is a series 2 GTST.

Thanks!

You got essentially 'GT-R' sized wheels, of course they'll sit like that.

You can either sell them and get wheels that'll fit in the guards (highly unlikely), or, you can get adjustable upper arms, get a thin tyre, like 225 or 215 or something stretched onto wheels that'll normally take 265 wide tyres, roll/pump the guards, wind the arms so you get negative camber and make them fit.

Fuuuulleeeey seeeek.

I have BNR34 Gtr ride Goode no rubing

Skyline model = R34 GTR

Wheel brand: Enkei rs05rr

Wheel diameter = 18

Wheel width =10.5 all around

Wheel offset = +15

Tyre size =. Toyo R888 275/35/18 all around

Modifications to fit = how ever I did roll out rear and front fenders

You don't need to do any of that.

18x9.5+23 will fit with just a guard roll and 235/40's

Lets put it another way minimum legal tyre on 9.5 rim is 245 so really the answer for the OP is have a think before you "pick up" some wheels and consider whether they will actually fir you car. Alternatively you will have to do what it takes to extend your guards.

ADR's are a blanket rule and that applies to 40/18 only. They differ in other diameters

235/40/18 on 18x9.5" is within manufacturer specs for many tyres including what I ran.

If you were that concerned with ADR's you wouldn't have 18x9.5" rims on a gtst in the first place.

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
