Picture request: 19" LMGT4's on BNR34 - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

NickM · 5th October 2006, 04:24 AM

I'm still trying to decide between 18" or 19" LMGT4's.

I've been trawling the internet and found plenty of pictures with 18's, but only a couple with 19's, so if anyone has some they can post up or mail me I'd appreciate it.

If the car is bayside blue with S-Tune suspenion and a full Nismo kit all the better !

Cheers.

Did you see the pics on this thread already Nick ?

Thanks Bean, I didn't see that one.

Wow, that's my mind made up!

Stunning car too, absolutely drop dead.

DCD · 5th October 2006, 07:10 AM

They look superb in 19"

NickM · 5th October 2006, 07:54 AM

What offset are they, +12 or +20 ?

LOL! That was a tough sell. As we all said on the weekend, definitely the way to go.

Offset should be +12 on a 9.5 inch width. Get the deep dish rim lip version (i.e. 6cm, I think).

Cya O!

I seem to recall Amerikiwi was running 19x10.5J with a pretty low offset, hence the look he achieved

Demon Dave · 5th October 2006, 10:06 PM

19's are also what I will be getting after seeing how great they look on Hipo's, Bean's and DCD's cars

Ah yes, I just read this on page 3 - 19x10.5 (+15).

This isn't a size listed by Nismo for the GTR so now the question is - will this have a detrimental effect on the handling, what size tyres, and are there clearance issues with the S-Tune suspension?

The endless brakes fit inside, so I don't think they'll be a problem with Brembos, but I need to check this too just in case.

Any pictures of 19*9.5 around?

Don't worry - the 19x10.5 +15 is a GTR fitting (even if Nismo don't list it, Rays make it) - it's just not the most usual one.
I can't think of a Brembo kit that doesn't fit under 19" LMGT4s (unless you felt like having a 400mm rotor or something).

Actually Nick, scrub the Rays, get those

Gaz.

Just pick up a Nismo catalogue or Nismo leaflet showing of thieir Silver demo car. This has 19 x 9.5J IIRC

But the 10.5J does make a big difference, or at least this is the case on Amerikiwi's car. I also recall, later in the life of that car, he used spacers.

I have pics of this; send me your email address, if you want them.

I can't see their being any issues with S-Tune clearance. And as for any detrimental effects; well Hipo has been using that setup for a while. I can't see their being no issues.

Very true. I actually didn't notice any material difference going from 18 to 19 inch TE37s. Since changing, handling/suspension has never been an issue for me.

Cya O!

Sure, here´s a pic of mine.

It´s got Ohlins coilovers on aswell so it´s lowered A LOT compared to standard.

I just started a new thread about this, but if anyone here knows, please chime in. Will a set of 19x9.5j +12 wheels fit inside the wheel arches of a BNR32?
