Did someone say bannana :)

Nah seriously, how can any skyline not look good :)

What you will find is, if you go to 19" the tyre profile gets smaller as the wheel size increases, so overall your total wheel/tyre diamater wont change much. Probally +15mm at most. Pending on tyres.

If you lower it, the arches and kit will sit more around the wheel too, if you get what i mean, so you will get a tad more clearance.

Just make sure you get the correct wheel offset to suit the GTT, or else the wheels will scrub all the time.

If you fit bigger wheels, or even if you dont, a mild lowering job will improve the overall stance of your car ten fold.

Cheers

Ta mate.....Good advice me thinks....By a mild lowering job, what do u guys recommend?? I love the ride of the car atm and don't wanna lose too much of it....I've been recommended coilovers, but don't want the car too stiff.....Is there another, maybe cheaper option which I can look to have my car lowered, but at the same time, not lose too much of the comfort??

Nice car - Top Secret Front with C-West Sides and Rear :P

Some lowering springs would be cheaper (and better) than full suspension for everyday driving (unless you like to drive on race tracks?) - I use Trust Dowmax (35mm drop) but any make should be OK

The best offset's for new wheels :-

+35 to +38 on 9inch wide Rear wheels (will take 265m wide tyres)

+32 to +35 on 8inch wide Front wheels (will take 235mm wide tyres)

This is how mine looks on 18inch wheels with those offsets (ps I've modified my TS front too)

great looking car mate.

I think the height is enough as with the kit the car looks low to the ground so if you go lower then you will struggle to get into some places (if you dont already).

I reckon you put 19's (will look very sexy then) on it and then decide on ride height.

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
