Honestly mate.Why would you want to?

Ive seen plenty of lines with 19 and 20s and they sit a foot off the ground even with superlow springs in it.

Unless its a show car there is no need.Spend your hard earned cash elsewhere.

My 2c

20's would surely offer a harsh ride and make tyre choice difficult? ie:Load rating ect... Maybe coilovers will offset the hight difference and harsh ride mentioned above.

What are the 20's your considering?

I am considering one of two wheels for my Series 2 33. Starcorp Impul rims in staggered set (18 or 19") x 8.5"F and 9.5"R. Or Axis Hiro's in 18 or 19" @ 9.5"F and 10.5"R. Excellent dish with both rims, hopefully 10.5" will fit under rears guards of GTS-T. Anyone have pics of a 33 with these rims on??

Both of the rims I am looking at are listed on tempetyres.com.au site.

i just fitted 19's on my 33 and i reckon 20s would rub on full lock, and possiblly bottom out on a bad pot hole. my cars with spacers and stock suspension. there 9.5 on the rears and 8.5 on the front. shit pic but hopefully can give you some kind of indication of sporting 20s. be sure to post some pics up if ya go ahead

got 20x8.5s on my r33 gts25t. you need 30 profile tyres otherwise u need to trim a susp arm to make 35 profile tyres not rub.

with the right off set, i had my guards over the rim front and rear with no rubbing.

i had front and rear guards rolled and had my front guard lining removed.

also what other consequences will this cause.

Judging by the responses in this thread (and opinions of non-car people I talk to about big rims) the biggest consequence is that passers-by are going to think you're a tool.

Aside from the ride / handling / rubbing issues already mentioned, I wonder what all that extra weight is going to do your suspension life?

i never had problems. only thing was the ride quality certainly wasnt comparable to a set of 16 x 6.5" stockies...

P.S alot of car people, several from here actually, commented positively on my 20s so i wouldnt be too worried. He has asked if they will fit, not if he should get them, or what others will think about them.

I can tell you now, 20 x 8.5" will fit with rolled guards and 30 profile tyres. just be prepared for camber wear if your susp isnt set up right and your car is lowered as you will find your tyres wear thin very quickly :blush:

thanks guys for the advice. I only asked because a friend was selling some 20" Lenso Rims and probably could have got them for about that price of 19" ( there about 2 months old)

20's would look nicer but i think i will go for some 19's just for a but of ride quality :P

Jake nice Dish :P

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
