it can be done, you will need wider guards not just lipped, and a low offset wheel to clear. i just finished fitting up 19x10 all round on a gtt, 19offset with aftermarket guards, sits flush.

youll need a big tyre for 10", which on the front of a 4 door will make a fair difference when driving.

20x8.5front/20x10rear is btter suited in my opinion, unless you've already got the guards then go for it.

20s is a big step from 19s believe it or not

you cant fit wide 20s and lower the car to a decent height with stock guards

you need wider guards or a shortened rear diff/suspension set up and big tubs

i can fit 19x10 all round on my car and it will look ok height wise

but anything wider than 20x8 and unless it sits like a land cruiser it wont fit

how so?

20s on my car was the same as 18s ride and handling wise

I've got 20s and my car isn't a useless trophy, its a car i take out almost every weekend, my wife and kids love going out in it

not everyone is at home on a race track with vinyl graphics and massive GT wings from NASA

Unsprung Weight.

20 inch wheels are not your friend.

If the only reason to put this size wheel is for looks, you need to decide if this one 'pro' is worth the many 'cons' of a big heavy wheel.

Nice japanese light weight 17 or 18" Work, Volk etc wheels look 10 times better than ANY 20", full stop. Plus you get the extra respect and kudos. :laugh:

My two cents.

I Can understand how it looks good on a 4 door but I dont understand why you would want 10" on the car all round? Id go 8.5 front (the steering would be shithouse with anything higher still takes me forever to spin the car) and 9.5 rears .. no chance you could fit 10" on the back from how much clearence I had :S

Ive got 20x8.5 all round with 255/30 at the rear (which ends up being a touch under 10 inch), its slammed pretty hard with only lipped guards and doesnt rub at all at the rear, although does a occasionaly at the front when you are doing a u-turn.

Theres even room for 265s had I been available at the time.

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
