fullee sick 20s bro

unless your planning on entering your car into a show (which you very well might be) don't even consider driving around with them on the street.

i'v never understood why you would compromise handling and grip in a sports car for cheap lebo looks.

my mate had 20" vault cyrstals on his R33 gts-t

not only did it look shiit the ride quality was completely fkd.

If anyone noticed alot of cars including the GTR now comes with 20" rims, Several race cars run big 20" on the front to increase handling.

20's will fit get the offset right n work from there.

yes the new GTR comes with 20s. but the gts-t originally came with 16s

i wonder how 24's would go on the new GTR. my guess is not so good.

Those wheels are not chrome bling though.

For looks. The car is so huge that small rims look disproportional.

Several race cars run big 20" on the front to increase handling.

I'm curious to see which race cars do. And I'm not sure how increasing unsprung weight and rotational inertia provides an increase in handling.

Going to big rims has little to do with improving handling, especially not a 4" increase over stock. On a race car you go for the smallest wheels you can fit around your brakes. Sometimes that necessitates putting on bigger rims than stock.

At any rate, the suspension is engineered around the wheel/tyre combo. What's the likelihood that this guy's R32 has its geometry and components engineered around 20's? Or that it will only get driven on smooth surfaces where the loss of sidewall compliance and increase in unsprung weight is not going to more than offset the supposed benefits of reduced sidewall flex?

hey guys i am just wondering if any1 knows whether or not 20" rims will fit a stock r32 gtst (the offsets and width and bolt patten are all proper) or if i will have to raise the car to fit these.

Thanks

as mentioned in the original post the car is stock.

the cars "geometry" has been set up to handle the stock 16" wheels that were issued from the Nissan factory floor.

so 20s will not do at all for this setup.

Buses come with huge tyres and rims - so by that principle bus wheels should work out OK on the 32 as well.

GOLD.

can you see the rims when your driving?? i cant on my r32 so my guess is no... therefore looks mean nothing, purpose means everything. buy your 20" rims and stick em on your wall, use them for a glass coffee table or tv stand where you can see em.

for the record buses are not 5 stud lol best come back i got.

TO ANSWER THE QUESTION:

Yes they will fit .. you would need a cheese cutter wheel something like 20x8 with an offset to fit .. coilovers would do wonders too ..

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
