Hi,

Just wondering if you guys could tell me if R34 GTR rims would fit on my pre face lift (with a face lift) Legnum.

18 x 9" + 30 all round.

I think it might be strecthing it a little, but would look good if they fit.

Thanks,

They'd look porn, I say do it!

Even if you have to run without front calipers and have to massage the wheel arches slightly with a sledge.

Yeah I'm thinking about giving it a go.

It's either that or 18" or 19" bronze TE37

EVO 8 MR BBS 17's

Or the ones that are on it at the moment.

Thanks,

With 30mm offset 9" wheels you would need to have a facelift for a start with the wheel arches. You would also need to have very hard and high suspension on the back so you don't have tyre rubbing problems.

A good side would probably be 225/40, I doubt 235/40 would fit.

Forgot to say, EVO 8 wheels will fit perfectly fine, most 35-40mm offset wheels that are less than 8" wide won't be a problem at all.

Can you READ that page though, Mark? You might find it says they had massive trouble and it needed substantial modifications to get there...

Good find though!

You can tell it has had substantial mods done to the guards jsut looking at it. This was something I definately had in mind for mine...

LOL lost in translation i think.

Those GTR rims do look awsome on the vr4, but looks like a massive effort. You wold have infinite respect if you did do it though ;)

Looking at that white car again, those guard mods look a little over the top. Though, I do not have any experience with the behaviour of double wishbone suss. Does it tuck in at the top under bumps? or more travel vertically like live axle?

I think I could do it very easily...

Also, after speak with Jack Monkhouse on the weekend, the GTR34 wheels on his EVO 7 needed to have the bore of the wheel machined out about 1mm so that they clear the hub. I will be trying on his wheel at some stage and I will take pics to show everyone ;)
