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.

    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • 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.
