Just to actually help you out the size of the rim will have little affect on clearance issues it is more due to offset and width of the rims. although you won't be able to use stretched tires to your advantage as much on rims that size also it will look like aids

what i dont understand is why anyone would want to change rims at all!!!

Just stick with the originals mate they are the bestest strongest and lightest rims you can get, not to mention the best looking...

All these gooses spending 1000s on rims for what, to look shit and get defected, dont they know how much naws you can buy for 2grand..hide it under your front seat and the cops will never know, plus when your running that much naws you will go through tyres very quickly so best stick with 17s they are much cheaper..Otherwise you will end up like those dopey commodore kids with huge bling on the front and steelies on the back dragging your ass around like a dog with worms because you cant afford another set of 20inch tyres till your next tax refund which is like 10 months away..

Another thing to note with big wheels is POTHOLES..these can destroy a bling rim in .0013 seconds then you will be stuck running your space saver which looks bad at the best of times but even worse when its matched with 20 inch chromies, plus your diff and/or your steering will be rather confused with the difference in wheel profiles..

Also your turning circle becomes a nightmare with your guards rubbing making all sorts of noise...so if the chicks did think your car looked cool they will think it sounds like its falling apart which is kind of self-defeating the whole purpose of sexy rims which is to attract the pussy..

NB ..(Although this can be masked by 2 or more fully sik subwoofers, this only works when girls are inside your vehicle which is highly unlikey if they have heard it or you havent slipped em a few rowies beforehand, if you have slipped em rowies they wont care or remember what wheels are on your car anyway so maybe invest in rohipnol instead of wheels, not only is it much cheaper ,it would also swing the chance of you actually getting laid in your favour considerably..)

All in all big wheels will achieve nothing other than feeding some chinaman and his family for a day..so why not cut out the middle man and send your hard earned $$$ straight too world vision and do the world a favour

Maybe save some for some good quality tyres, not only will this actually improve your vehicles fuel consumption,performance and handling it will also improve your credibility and may also save the lives of the drugged out girls in the back seat oneday :)

Go for some nice 18's mate. I put 19' on my S14a when i first got it. I nearly went 20's :P It didnt take long for me to realise that they make a fast car that is supposed to handle well, handle like crap. They are heavy and look crap.

Went to a nice set of 18's and the car just looks and handles sooo much better.

I think the problem isnt so much whether or not 20's will fit in the guard. Cos it will.

The problem is that you just cant get the right offset and physically place the wheel in the guard without massive work.

I suppose the wheels are cheap though..

btw. You dug your own grave on this one

Ive had 20's on my R34 coupe for 4 years with no issues, except i did have to shave off a small bit of metal on the upper control arms of the front suspension to stop the tyres from scrubbing. Car drives well and still handles great.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
