About to put a deposit on these gorgeous rims, just after a bit of feedback on the fitment.

Sizes are: 20x8.5 +25 Front 20x10 +25 Rear.

I have stock suspension and I DO have access to a guard roller if needed, i have also been recommended 10mm spacers all round. I'm just curious as to how they are going to look with stock springs i don't want them to look stupid.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

I'm avoiding lowering my V as the roads in my town are terrible. Can you explain why it will look stupid?

The gap between the tyres and the wheel arches. With 20 inch wheels, it will look like a jacked up 4x4.

Lowering does not necessarily give a harsher ride if you do it properly i.e. damping adjustable coilovers.

You might also want to consider 19 inch instead of 20 if your roads are bad. Personally I think 19 inch looks best on the V35

I found my standard suspension was too soft for my local bad roads... was too easy for the body to float/bottom out

but i agree, smaller sidewalls make it easier to dent a rim on potholes and things like that

if your roads are that bad, id be buying that delorean.

I don't get how that works, my mate has the car car same stock suspension with 20's and it looks good. Eh..

^^^ there is no way that is stock suspension. And the offsets you are talking are right flush fitment with stock suspension - but as advised it will look very 4wd spec.

Believe me it is, even when our cars are parked next to each other it looks like my cars lower when it's stock.

F*ck this is confusing, i need to speak to a rim/tyre specialist

I wanted to ask the exact same question. I'm looking at a set of Vertini Fairlady but i'm on stock suspension too. Now you guys have me paranoid my ride will turn out like a monster truck.

Also does anyone know how much these wheels weight?

Hey guys. It doesn't look THAT bad on stock suspension but obviously it will look better a little bit lowered. If you don't want to lower it too much, try to find some 350z springs and shocks as they lower the car a touch but still maintains stock driveability. Take Sheldon's V35 as an example, hes running 20" rims and 350z suspension but his car looks good. http://sgv35.com/2012/01/05/speed-bumps-now-my-enemy/#more-409

I think stock 350z suspensions are lower than our cars.

Yes, the stock 350z suspensions do lower the car but not very much and maintains stock ride comfort. That's what Seano is worried about isn't he? The fact that the roads are bad in his area and he wants something thats suitable for daily driving.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
