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.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
