20s look stupid on the front of skylines the lack of tyre sidewall and the raised hieght is ridiculous..

Now if your were to pick up some 18s for the front,it will make your steering easier and better, it will make your your frontend lower giving the car a mean rake with the front being slightly lower than the rear and generally all your problems will be solved and your car will look tuff as balls..

Thats my 2c anyway ,if you wanna keep your stupid 20s on the front then i have no further advice..

yeh agree

but 18s front 20's rear is even more gay.

see i dunno cause i havent seen it done yet..usually people only have an inch difference between front and back, remember seeing a S14 with 18s and 19s and it looked shit hot, same goes for 17s-18s on skylines.. i see alot of the street machine crowd do 18s and 20s (or 20s and 22s) and it can look really tuff, but yeah, thats a different style of car..Yet to see it on a skyline..I think the main thing really is to have the tyre sidewalls close to the same size so everything looks in proportion.. :thumbsup:

I definitely wouldn't go 2 inches smaller on the front. Placing these things next to my current 18s makes them look like 16s.

It would be too bigger difference. 19 up front, 20 on the rear I have seen done before.

But honestly its all work to chase up. 20s all around is easier, because i already have them :D Sure I cant lower the front to the ground, but considering I get pulled up nearly weekly and checked for ride height, that doesnt bother me.

This car is a daily, so i cant slam it and camber it as much as I'd like :(

I like how you added work meisters after the 20" so as not to get flamed( as bad!)

245 40 is way too big for the R33(looks like bad camber wear so they need changing anyway). if you didnt want to run a 225 30 20 you could run a 235 30 20 for the front.

By doing this you wont have to do any grinding, but if you had to you could grind away at the little lip of the upper control arm.

Does the tyre bulge out past the rim? because with a 8.5" +25 the wheel shoudnt be that close to the side of the arm?

Haha I knew it would turn to a flame thread unless I was clear on the type of rim!

Yeh the tires on the rims are rooted, so Ive got the chance to start a fresh and make sure it all fits correctly on my car. I think I'll run a 225 up front just to be safe.

And I am thinking a 235/30 on the rear rim (9.5inch wide).

Thats the plan atm, trying to keep the rolling diameters sorta close between front and back (throwing a 225 on 9.5 inch rim isnt a good idea imo, so ill have to go bigger at the rear)

No the 245 doesnt bulge atm, the wheel is slightly turned in the pics, making the tire look like it sits further under then it really does (when straight)

Using the 1010tires calculator even a 245/30/20 will have a smaller rolling diameter then the current 245/45/18 I am running up front. Rolling diameter is reduced by 677.67mm to 654.81mm with the 245/30/20.

So its probably just easier to run with 245/30/20s all around.

Any opinions on this?

Can I ask what you ended up needing to do to make this all fit?

I've just found some 20" D1R's that i think would look amazing on my R33 GTST

I've got rolled guards front and rear, and flared rears

Currently running 18x +30 all round with 25mm bolt on spacers on the rear and it looks neat.

Thinking of going 8.5 +32 fronts and 10" +32 rears with the 25mm spacer :)

Is 235/30 tyres the secret to front fitment, or is there more to it than that?

      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.
