20 Inch Wheels On R33 (Work Meisters)

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

actually... you could easily pick up some 19's for the front for the price you would sell the 20's for and it would look better

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.

yeah 19s probably would match better...

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..

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 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)

[Taleb Tyres]

Go a 245 30 20 on the rear it will fit no problem.

[Granthem]

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?

[Granthem]

And does anyone have any pics of a 245/30 stretched onto a 9.5?

[Granthem]

Sorry. My current tire is a 245/40/18. So the 245/30/20 is pretty much identical in rolling diameter.

[Granthem]

For those who may have wondered how it all turned out....

Looks absolutely mint bro nice work! 20s FTW

[islade]

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?

And in the final pics you posted, what tyre dimensions are they?<br>

[soturi]

you will get a 215 hell try for a 205 (this will look funny) on that rim, on the front, if it doesnt want to pop out to the bead on the machine fill it with aerostart and get your boogie on

[soturi]

ahhhh you already sorted it...props to you!
