Will I need any mods or spacers or guard rolling ????

Skyline model = r34 GTT

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 9.5"

Wheel offset = +12

Tyre size = ?

Modifications to fit = ?

Stop being a moron. Go back 1 page, and look. Oh wow there is 9.5+20 there, ON AN R34! Oh and he has written the mods to fit!! It's almost like this thread is full of information or something.

Modifications to fit = 20mm wide front guards 30mm wide rear guards
Fronts = 2.5deg neg camber

Any many many hours fiberglassing

If you go into the "more reply options" you can upload and attatch, rather than linking via a site.

HI Guys, getting new tyres soon for my R34GTR.

I have Advan 18x10 +25 rims and they do not have the tyres I want in a 275x40 18 , but they have a 285x30 18 , would they fit without scrubbing.

I just went thru every page of this thread :)

I did have 19x9.5+25 with 245s and no mods were required...they are now sold i want jap wheels.

now im tossing up between the following for my r32 gtr:

1). 18x9.5+22 with 265s ('safe' option with gauranteed clearance on full lock & guards)

OR

2). 18x10+20 with 265s (will work with with no mods if i run nitto invo tyres, thx SIR-RB for the advice)

decisions decisions...also looking for other ppls opinions :)

Ok thx for the feedback :)

Would it be optimistic of me to think I can run 265s on 10s without guard rolling or is this simply required from your personal experience?

Where did it rub on your inner guards, on the front which sits directly behind the bumper bar right? What tyre brand are u running?

I rolled the guards myself (on the rear). Previous tyres bashed the lip out on the front guards lol. Rolling is required unless you car is high. It'll probably still scrub.

Yep the front part, because I used to run a bit more caster. Had to dial some caster back and add negative camber up front (around -2deg, -1.5deg rear). Caster is around the 5deg mark.

I'm running Falken FK452 at the moment. Previously had old Bridgestone TS-02 or something with more rounded shoulders so didn't need guard rolling.

If you're worried about not rolling, then get 9" and run 255 wide tyres. I would rather roll and try to cram the widest tyre possible :P.

Model: r34 gtt

Wheel diamiter: 18"

Wheel width: 9.5" all round

Offset: +15 all round

Wheel size:225/40

Hi, I'm looking to buy a set of hks coilovers for my car and I saw these wheels for sale. If I bought these wheels how far could i lower my car before I would need rolling of the guards ? Also I'm not an expert on tires so while I'm posting this will 225's fit on 9.5's without any issues ?

If you leave it stock height with reasonable tyre profiles, you won't need a roll at all. But that offset is fairly aggressive, and if you lowered at all you would need guard rolling and 2 deg negative camber to fit inside the guards. And yes, 225's sit nicely on a 9.5.

Refer to previous page, I have 225/40 on 9.5+20.

i had all my suspension dialed in by heasmans & i am very happy with it :)

i dont want to 'potentially' compromise handling for the sake of running wider wheels...from this, i purchased 18x9.5+22 & will run 265s as i was told this would clear.

now i need to decide on tyres - any recommendations?

nitto invo OR nt-05 sound interesting.

i get mixed feedback on the federal rsr's

Thanks mate :)

Street use really but I want optimum grip due to the power level I'm running...as long as the tyres aren't too sticky where they pick up small rocks and scratch the bodywork haha

Hi mates, first post on the forums.

I just got one of the first two R34 GTTs in my country (Costa Rica!) and I definitely want to change the wheels it came with...

I have read through this thread and a couple others and I arrived at the conclusion that some 18x8.5 +30 front/18x9.5 +38 rear seems like it will work with the all-stock car (please correct me if I am wrong here!)

From that, I am eyeballing the Work Emotion Ultimate Kiwami wheels and I am wondering if these will be a good fit.

Any comments and ideas are really appreciated! :thanks:

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
