don't bother, it kills the ride, the handling, the diff, the suspension and so on

i had a set of 3 piece compomotive split rims 20"

they are only good for shows

the best set up on a skyline gtr is 245/40/17 9j

anything else is bling!

18 on R32's and 19's on R33 and R34's are the limit, anything bigger looks max power chav, yank style... also uk roads are not the best around so 20`s is ott..

a guy called dennis on soc made a big blunder buying 20's to make things worse he got a bigger radius tyre at the backl to the front and wondered why his torque gauge was always showing 15% +

Doh! happened to me when i split a valve and put the space saver on (space saver, pah!) Torque gauge was all over the shop

jonnier33 · 9th January 2006, 08:22 PM

Its not chav bud

they are not painted burberry tartan!!! if i decide to get em i will post a pic on here to let you c they are very nice wheels!!

GTR-Zilla · 9th January 2006, 09:15 PM

20's on what ever skyline would look OTT, also your ride would be so poor.. uk is not known for smooth roads...

Cornhoolio · 9th January 2006, 09:42 PM

Hello mate, think you would just end up manging tyres and rims on the lovely smooth pot-hole free roads we have up here

I run 245/45/17 and my thing is all over the road (tramlining) on anything else other than dual carriage-ways. Plus 35's will be even harsher on the ride and I have no fillings left with my 45's!

Better just for show IMHO

If they look shite on a 34 gtr (which they do ) they will look shite on your car and handle like they look ,but hey go for it ,you can sell em on later .What do we know on here anyway

GTR-Zilla · 10th January 2006, 12:01 AM

its all these max power boys think they know best.. let him.. he`ll come back crying... just like dennis did on SOC when he brought odd size 20's for his R33 GTR pmsl

SteveN · 10th January 2006, 02:31 AM

why is it a CHAV look, as if any real chav could afford 20in rims.

these days anything thats not to a certain persons taste is CHAV

Anyhow, 20s will look too big IMO

brooksie · 10th January 2006, 02:37 AM

it won't look chav.

it will however look gay.

gay i tell you.

gay .. all just gay.
