mate , if you get those rims be sure to post pics of them on your car please.

I've got a black s2 r33, and im still trying to decide what times to get when i do get some. I'll be going 18's, and at the moment Work emotion CR Kai is leading the way....but also looking into some black centres with a polished lip, which your ones arent far off.

Will be good to see them on a black 33 to give me an idea

[Al]

33GTR wheels will stick out of your front gaurds.

[MsG_ChRiS]

Will do dezz...

I dont think they make them in 18' however ...

Ohhh poooh... prob just get a set of stockies then =(

thats cool 19s or 20s will still let me see them on the car

[Al]

NO 20's!!!!!!

Makes the Skyline look like 4x4 spec, and you can't "dump it on it's nutz" as the wheels will majorly rub on the inside of the gaurds.

[MsG_ChRiS]

But Al i like cars dumped so low they scrape driving on a flat road (<--- note the sarcasm)

Hey Al maybe i'll just go all out and get a set of 24's then my car will look like your avitar LOL =D

Jokes aside I am going to get the gaurds rolled and it lowered properly, to just within legal standards that is =)

Do you think that is possible to engineer 19's on a line, would probally have to be awfully low profile tyres like 2**/10's or something

[MsG_ChRiS]

Hey Al,

did you buy chance put that stuff on your headlights thatg makes them go smoky like???

If so, ya reckon you could send me a pick please...

Ohhh yeah go the Soccerooooooooosssss =D

[Al]

The law states the the complete rolling diameter (tyres included) must not exceed 20mm larger than factory. Having extremely low profile will possible scrap in, but the ride will be serverly sacrificed. I would think that getting an engineers could overcome this. Honestly it is best to ring Vicroads or DOTARS and just ask, they are not going to hunt you down, or maybe the will

If you are refering to my sig, the lights look smokey due to the resizing of the resolution, they are actually quite clear, and i like to keep them that way . If you want your h'lights to go that smokey/yellowy colour, leave it in direct sunlight, eventually they will fade over time. Not sure why you would want them that colour

Just found a pic to justify why you shouldn't get 20's. Using the same profile for my tyres as a typical 18" rim, this is how close my tyre gets to the upper controll arm. The tyre will never hit as the arm moves up/down with the wheel. But it is damn close and i wouldn't want to get closer.

[Primordial]

Yikes.. thats a little too close for comfort!

They would touch under compression and deformation of the tyre under heavy cornering though wouldnt they? Do you hear scraping under heavy cornering at all?

[sewid]

19"s with the same profile tyres as 18"s would make your speedo read out quite a way right?

[Al]

Primordial: Nah it's fine. As stated the arm moves up/down with the wheel. Have never scraped that arm as there is no scuffs on the metal, have rubbed the inside gaurd liner though , but that was due to having 245's at the front (now 235) and a slightly lower ride.

19"s with the same profile tyres as 18"s would make your speedo read out quite a way right?

Nope..............

Has actually corrected the factory error

Have tested it on a dyno and on the Hwy's, when my needle is spot on 100 i am actually doing 98km/h .

[MsG_ChRiS]

Sorry Al i prob wasnt clear enough you know how sometimes you see cars with the lights blackened out but then when they turn them on they go clear like the skyline out of asm 32 ...

I was thinking that maybe, or doing some projector style head lights, but then i dont want to many defects on my car i dont mind the wheels though...

What the biggest dish anyone has got on there line??
