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.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
