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.

Umad? U jelly?

:P

can i grab that in english pls.

EDIT.. think i get it are you asking if im jelous? no sir far far far far from it.. think a billion times opposite and thats what i would be. if anything bigger than 18s ever get near my skyline ill drive it down to sims metal myself.

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

In the poorer areas of China, most families live on a budget of ~100 Chinese dollars (now only ~$15 AUD atm) per month, so those big bling wheels & China made tyres will not last the family for a day, it will last them at least a week or more...

So everyone should help out & start buying 20 & 22s wheels!

Cool story bro!

Off topic , If the wheel starts scrubbing the mudguard a tad due to +25 spacers is there anyway to fix this.

Its only 1 small same area of the mud guard that gets scrubbed

Edit : car is GTR34 Stock wheels , Car is lowered ... =(

These ones I have for sale came off R34 GT-T.. it did require rolled guards and as you can see the tyres are a little stretched. Car has Tein coil overs. Was no big issues with scrubbing but some wiring in the drivers front guard needed to be tucked up a little bit out of the way to be on the safe side.

I don't see what's the fuzz about putting 20" on the 34 !!!!!!!! I put 21" on my RX8 in Need for Speed Underground

with out any problem and slammed it about 5 mm off the ground, the car didn't scrape and tyres didn't rub the

guard at all, and I bloody went faster than Porche and Ferrari,

What's the fuzz !

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
