So... My V36 Skyline is soon to arrive to Australia, and I'm looking to change from the 20" aftermarket wheels currently on the car to a nice set of Matte Black wheels preferably available from Ozzy Tyres (online) and from the manufacturer XXR.

I'm looking for the best 'bang for value' \ value orientated set of wheels that look good, are relatively wide (and more flush, than tucked in appearance) and of course are legal - so I believe 18 x 8.75" on the fronts / rears are the way to go... unless someone suggests it's worth it to spend the extra $300 for the staggered rears setup (I believe they're 9.75" on the rears) :)

PS: Will 18's look too small on my V36 Skyline compared to 20's at the moment? Also, I won't be lowering the vehicle... Does anyone own a V36 Skyline *SEDAN* and have either of these wheels fitted?

Unless you can recommend another online (or local store in Adelaide) Ozzy Tyres seems to have the best range and value options with free shipping and guaranteed fitment.

What are your thoughts on the following wheels?

They're to go onto the following vehicle...

Cheap looking wheels look like a cheap suit , doesn't really matter which XXR rim you buy , you can't hide it .

Just buy some stockies again

I have avant garde m310 which are very similar to the 530 you have listed went with 20s in the staggered option got 8.5" +30 in the front and 10" +40 in the rear painted in dolphin grey from ozzy tyres, tyre wise 245/35 fr and 275/30 rear. Go staggered the extra width allows a much better launch, reducing wheel spin considerably....

if I had my time again would go a less aggressive offset in the rear maybe +45 and get a 285/30 tyre in there which would have almost identical rolling diameters front to back and slightly more sidewall.

As for ozzy tyres, good luck. First set they sent me was drilled in the wrong stud pattern second, second set the painter hadn't applied a primer and now the paints flaking... Just waiting for a time where I can get them powder coated.

Will the Forged Ray's 19" Wheels from a V35 be a straight bolt-on without needing spacers?

How will the offset look? Tucked in or near flush?

I have those on my friends V36 coupe at the moment which has same offsets as a sedan. They sit near flush compared to the OEM wheels these cars come with.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive 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?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
