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.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
