Best to give a tyre shop a call mate - They should be able to recommend a profile to suit.

Good luck

got a question......wat do u ppl fink is right for a skyline.....phat chrome like dolces or race chromies like zeneti teks?

[GoldZilla]

Chrome and Skylines don't mix...

But if you HAVE to, then go the race-style chrome.

Even better, get a polished wheel - shine without the added weight that chroming adds.

the axis hiro rims on the tempe site, are kinda perfect, chrome and racey in one,

i have 20 x 8.5" wheels on my R33 GTS25t

front and rear guards have been rolled, tyres are 225/30/zr20

guards sit just on the rim, front and rear with only minimal rubbing at the front on hard lock.

Basically, 20s are so big, that it's almost impossible to keep the rolling diametre the same (on a skyline anyways).

19s are still really massive, if you really must go for big wheels.

Run it in a tyre calculator, but i have never seen any profile less than 30.

Your wasting your time with 20's on a skyline and with chromes.

First of all work out what you want to achieve, looks (like I said chrome on sports are is bad, good for 4WD like in America) or power. If you have a massive FMIC and upped boost and 20 inch chromies... wtf are you trying to achieve? Its like a sprinter having a cigarette before a run...

If you want a nice modded car with nice wheels then get some smaller 18 wheels that are light weight... Im not asking you to get the super light type but something that doesnt weigh a tone... youll be amazed how slower sports cars go with 20 inch rims, esp chrome.

Make up your mind with the following pics:

Clearly chromes are suited for the 4WD!

Hell yea, gimme your volks

Chrome is bad, but shadow chrome etc, the other forms that look fitting are nice...

There's a guy up the road from me with chromies on his monaro.. The entire rim is chrome lol, looks like a massive silver dinner plate.. it's ugly.

Don't put chrome near your car... unless its shadowcrome etc etc

And yea, 20's 19's even 18's are going to compromise your car's drivability and handling if not properly set up with the appropriate suspension...

... Dn't get chrome :

Massive chrome on skylines dont mix in my opinion, dont get me started on those vaults ones ahaha. Not only does huge chrome rims adds more weight to the car it also kills the comfort factor and tyres will burn a deep hole in your wallet. I rekon 17 18s light weight Jap rims are the way to go, suits the car more.

But hey if 20inch chormies float your boat Mario then go for it, its your car man in the end your customizing it to your liking not for others.

that all depends on alignment, and how stupid you are with the car.

not often if you dont do burnouts and drift. if you do... you better have deep pockets

At the end of the day its your car and you should modify it to your tastes not others.. if your intending to do SHOW then by all means go 20", but if its for a street car go 18".

and tyre prices between 19" and 20" isn't much different either, so if you can afford the initial cost may as well go 20". You will need 30 series on the front and if you like 35 on rear.
