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...

      Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
