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 :/

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
