Didnt know where else to Post this.

But It has come time for me to get mi Mits on some new tyres. Ive Been Looking around a bit, and have Noticed that Bugger all tyre shops actually have 20" tyres. BoB Jane were the only place out of about 5 that I Visted, that actually stock 20" tyres, only 1 brand tho, WANLI and $320 a tyre stings just a little. So I was hoping some 1 could steer me in the direction of some Magical place that have various brands of 20" tyres and good prices.

peace!

Your worried about $320 a tyre for 20's? onoes...

Dude a decent 20" tyre that isnt a death trap is going to be at the least, $400-450 a corner, and a lot more for a decent tyre :wave:

What distributors have you tried so far?

i would spend the extra $$ and get a decent tyre.. Ive had a set of cheaper 20" tyres and they squell when cornering and have minimal grip and were outright dangerous in the wet.

I now have decent Nankang NS 2 performance tyres which costed me about $500 each, but their well worth it as they wear slower and have a heap of grip.

You can't put a price on your life.. trust me go the extra mile and buy something decent..you pay for what you get.

wtf?

lol thats massive for wat car?

widebody R32... rear wheel is Work VS-XX 17"x11" -6 offset. 315/35/17 is a common sized tyre in the US as its the same size corvettes and vipers use. They even make Nitto drags in that size :thumbsup:

Kakimoto wide body R33

I wish... kakimoto takes 355/something/17's. lol craig almost tore his hair out looking for new tyres... only people that make em are bridgestone and pirelli... special order.

I just bought 20inch rims for my R32 GTR i live in Sydney and got them from Tempe tyres, they were custom drilled on site and are perfect offset for the car.

They sold them with Nankang but i upgraded to a Toyo brand. It fills the guards perfectly and still have room to lower the car 2 inches from stock ride height when i get my coil overs soon. They cost usually $3600 but they had a deal going and i managed to bargain them to $2800 fitted with the up rated tyres to so i was very happy.

I cant believe it but my ride quality is still great even with the mrs in the car i was very surprised not that bumpy could be because i had a good set of tyreson there quality counts.

When i figure out how to put pics on this site i will put it in you guys will be surprised how good 20s look, i will keep the Original forged 16 inch GTR rims for track use and drifting events but the 20s are for show.

Cheers,

Dave.

Hi there Paul R33 i am not sure what it will cost for 20inch rubber yet i got them as i great package deal.But i will say this my GTR in its current mild form ran a 12.4 1/4mile with ease i had no wheel spin or broke traction, i have pushed this car hard on the street always and never had had probs unless i wanted them if you know what i mean and all of this was done with the cheapest set of standard Bob Jane tyres. Yep no bull so if below average tyres will rack up a low 12sec 1/4 and handle decently on the road im sure a set of low profile Toyos will easy out handle and grip the cheapest set of Bob Janes.

Cheers,

Dave.

have u had the wanli's before...??? iam not really a fan of them as the tend to understeer in the wet, wouldnt suggest them for a performance car.

Yea ive Got WANLI's atm, and they are dangerous in the wet. traction is a minimal. Drifting around every corner in the wet is bit rediculous at times. but id have to admit on Hot days they are Alright.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
