I am buying a set of VOLK GT-C's in 18x10 but cant decide on either the +12 or the +17 fitting?

The car is a R33 GTR.

Can anyone here please suggest me which way to go.

Id go the +17 option. It will sit 0mm closer to the strut (standard inner clearance) and extend 26mm on the outside

The +12 will sit 5mm further away from the strut on the inside, and will sit 31mm further toward the guards. The whole wheel will be further out from the strut, plus the extra 1" rim width.

The +12 may give you scrub problems depending on how low or depend on the camber of your suspension setup. I have 18x10 +18 Work wheels with Tein coilovers and have never had any dramas with clearance etc.

Hope this helps... By the way GT-C's will look awesome :glare:

Tried using the calculator that some of the guys has posted on this string but I have no idea what the stock offsets are for the R33 GTS-T Series 1. All I know is that they are 16 x 6.5 and they use 205/55 R16 or 225/50 R16 tyres. Someone help me out here?

Looking to get some Rays Volk TE37L and I just want to make sure the buggers fit. I think R33 GTS-Ts have 5 stud so I am going to have to rule out the 8inch there.

If they do comfortably, then SOLD! Just gotta find a place that sells them.

***MODIFIED***

Thanks n15m0. I thought its better to modify my post instead of just adding another post saying thanks.

Hey guys,

I have been reading about wheels offsets as i am about to buy a new set of 18' Rays Ce28n's for a R33 GTST and have been recommended the following widths and offsets

18x8.5 +30 fronts

18x9.5 +34 rears

What are these going to fit like. Would the look any good in that offset. And would they have much dish on the rear?

What offsets would people recommend?

Any help would be appreciated!!

Cheers

Alan

How about these wheels will they fit on easy without any mods?

RAYS Nismo LMGT-4

Thanks for the help

I'm reluctant to answer you as I myself am looking at getting tht particular set :D

But since I'm a nice guy...yeah it should fit without any dramas. :/

First of all, please forgive my ignorance. I am new to this site and found it to be a great Forum and has great people!

This is a great thread and i've just gone through to read all the pages. Lots of info in there. However, not many people have posted offsets on a R34 GTT. I've got a question as per the person posted before me. Can a 18x9.5 +30 wheel fit onto my R34 GTT seriesII? My car is stock with standard wheels and suspension. I am looking at changing my wheels to one of the BEE-R/Nismo LM types.

With this settings, will I have any clearance/rubbing problems? even with full turns?

Lastly, has anyone heard about Rota wheels and where to get them in Australia? Thank you all in advance! Keep it coming! Cheers,Michael

bump, exact same interest in this :D

EDIT:

18x9.5 +25mm offset

18x9.5 +38mm offset

That is how 18x9.5 +30 will sit on the rear of a 34...sticks out bout 5-10mm...but with lowering a bit of camber and stretched 235s on there I reckon it will just fit with slight lipping needed...

Ideally you would want to get 18x9.5 +35.

car wouldn't be lowered, or ever so slightly.

would adjustable sway bars, front and rear help at all?

so the lower the offest number, the further it sticks out? So the +38's would go up front and +25's the rear?

i'd be thinking 265 the rear tyres, at least 255.

someone previously mentioned removing the inner guards??

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
