Okay so does anyone have 20" rims on their V36?

Can you give me an idea of the difference in ride quality vs say 18 or 19?

Recommended?

Wouldn't do it again?

Trying to decide...

If someone in Adelaide has 20's, how about taking me for a drive? :)

You've seen my car in the flesh Joolz, so you know that 20's fill those guards beautifully!

Drives well, no issues, I'm running low profile tires and I get a very comfortable ride (although I have Tanabe Sustec-Pro coilovers)... one thing... get used to (low amount) of road noise.

Aside from that... 20's are absolute WIN!

Couple of questions for you though:

  1. Did you do any work to your fenders?
  2. Did you need a camber kit?
  3. What are your rim/tyre specs?

Depends on the fitment you want. I had mine custom made from Koya to be flush and run with the guards of my car. Most of custom wheel shops will make them with offset to how you want the ride to sit.

Like for my Koyas I asked them to make them flush so they did all the measuring for me.

9.5 fronts with +30 offset

10.5 rears with +38 offset ( Deep Concave )

Those for my particular wheels gave me a very very flush fitment. A ruler would match up perfectly along my rims and guards :]

Plus most v owners will agree 20"s are the best look.

If anything I need to get bigger profile tyres to hide the gap better as my front is 30 super stretched haha and rear 35 super stretched XD Picture below is without lowering so getting maybe 40 profile front and and rear would hide the gap wayyy better.

    • 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.
