So i'm about to pull the trigger on these rims - http://www.nlmotoring.com/product-p/52100142n.htm

20''x10.5 +30mm offset 3.25'' lip depth, if i were to purchase these, would i need to get my guards rolled with 235/245 f & r? The car is NOT lowered at all.

Thanks

Will fit fine, they will have minimal poke what tyre profile would you be running?

I currently have a 255/35 on a 20x10.5 +17 on the rear of my 35, at standard height and it is in the guard.

I highly doubt you will need guard work at standard height.

+30 is not aggressive on a v35.

your more than likely going to have inner clearance issues before you hit the guard.

It's a bit tricky to get my head around the rim/tyre fitments. so when it's 20x10.5 +30mm lip. Is the LOWER the lip the more dish or is it the higher? also with the 10.5 width is it better to be higher or lower? Confusing as all hell!

Lip has nothing to do with offset. The style of the rim spoke dictates lip (but in general the lower the offset the more lip).

However as I said it is about rim design - you can get XD9s in +30mm offset and they have buttloads of lip due to the spoke design, whereas a rim like the Work Kais will have little to no lip even in +12 offset.

Confused yet?

HAHA yes you have successfully confused me. So an offset of 8.5 is going to have more dish/lip than 10.5 yes?

arent you in a sedan mate?

No mate, coupe

The offset defines where the mounting point on the wheel is. Offset of 0mm means that it's smack bang in the centre of the wheel. +30 means that the mounting point is further forward and -30 means that's the mounting point is further to the back. So the lower the offset the more fish - design dependent though.

and before you pull the trigger there is also caliper/disk clearance you have to worry about. Wheels with big dish are normally lo disk clearance...thats why u see most staggered setups have more dish at the rear than the fronts.

Most Jap wheels will specify this....not sure about XXR though.

Basically what i want to do is make the wheel flush with the guard or even have a little bit of poke, however i have just found out my mate has a proper setup so that guards can be rolled so it's not a massive issue anymore if the wheel is too big.

I would love the rim to hang over the wheel a little bit too..

These calculators aren't making any sense to me at all, I'm now looking at 20x8.5 + 22mm offset with 20x9 or 9.5 at the back same offset. How would this look?

Apologies for the very noob questions wheels & rims just aren't my forte.

The above offsets for a coupe would definately fit but is pretty conservative.

Have a look here for some ideas: http://rimtuck.com/search/thumbnails&make=Infiniti&model=G35+coupe&sort=1

Bear in mind most of these are slammed and lowered quite a fair bit. Question is how much are you lowered if any at all?

rule of thumb, the lower you go, the more you can squeeze into your guards as it will give you more camber like so ------> /oo\

To get the desired look you are after, you have to lower your car even if its a mild drop otherwise you will be sporting the 4WD stance...:)

Thanks heaps for that link i will look at it shortly just at work, not lowered at all mate. Surely it's possible to slap some 20's on and have a bit of poke with stock suspension? my mate has 20s with stock suspension but they don't fit flush with the guard they are a little bit inside and i don't really like that :/

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
