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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
