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.

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
