You could make them fit by buying a lower sized wheel? Lol 20" is just TOO big in my opinion. Good luck fitting, I got no other suggestions.

NAwww they are sexy tho :down: haha. anyone else got suggestions?? what if i flared the guards and got spacers??

if its hitting on the side the offset isnt right and you can fix it with spacers (make sure you get longer studs put in if you go this way), but then it will probably sit out the guards too much and you wont be able to lower it.

if its hitting at the top the tyre profile is obviously too high, 245/35 is huge for the front, shoudl be fine on the back, 225/30 is the way to go on the front and if the offsets are right you should be able to deck it hard.

The steering arm is sitting 1/4 over the tyre already... they are gunna be sitting way outside my guards.. lol. Im not lowering it. so not sure... :down:

iv got 20's on mine with 225/35's on the front and lowered, if you can stretch a tire it will be alright, as for top of the strut elbow joint the clearance wouldnt be any more than a 3mm gap, but doesnt cause any problems. just make sure if its lowered the suspension is tight otherwise when the wheels are turned under hard cornering or similair the tire will hit... flaring or wide body fenders will fix the problem but as said above it is a bit of stuffing around.

your username and presumably rego is 4drftn and you have 20's?

DAMN you must have a lot of coin! :laugh:

lol, yeah i had a set of deep dish 17" volks when i first bought the car, chucked the 20's on to raise it off the ground so i could get out off the driveway... would like a set of nice dished racing rims though...

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      By Gantai · Posted

      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
