What Rotas do i have?

[monkfish]

i picked up my new r34 gtt yesterday and was looking at the wheels from the side of the car and noticed that the spokes on the 2 front wheels are flat ie no dish in them at all....where as the rears the spokes come out from the hub and then taper out to the rim so that when looking at the side they look very dished.....i was wondering if i have 2 different styles of rotas....i will post a pic when i get home but are the torques dished and the gtr's flat......the rears have rota centre caps while the fronts do not but they look to be from the same manufacturer in every other detail apart from the dish.....oh and someone has stuck nismo stickers on them....

Nothing unusual there, it's just your rears are more "dished" due to them being wider than the fronts.

Yep as ISJ said you have staggered wheels. The rears are wider than the front. What tyre sizes are on the wheels?

Nope thats normal I have the same wheels on my car

PS. I found out after I bought them that the rears will fit the front as well so my plan is to buy another set of deep dished ones and stick them on the front

Though you will probably find they will rub very slightly on full lock on the suspension somewhere and you will fail an MOT unless you spacer them out slightly

Doh was thinking about R33

cheers for everyones help confiming that.....i think the previous owner tried to make them look like the nismo 34 gtr ones cos the wheels are black with nismo stickers.

You can run 9.5 x 18 both front and rear on an R34GTT, the only place that will rub slightly is behind the wheel, where it just catches the plastic arch liner. I bit of warm air from a heat gun soon reshapes the liner

Nope they fit fine with no rubbing and like bubble says at most you might have to pull out a heat gun

The 8.5 normally fitted to the front hardly dish and the centre by the wheel bolts is slightly narrower, Normal sockets wont fit on the front, if you havethe bolts that came with the wheels. I am not posting how to get them off on here.
The 9.5 on the rear have a bigger more noticable dish, easier access to the nuts (still need special size)
You can run 235 on the front and 265 on the rear
