Chrome and Skylines don't mix...

But if you HAVE to, then go the race-style chrome.

Even better, get a polished wheel - shine without the added weight that chroming adds.

i have 20 x 8.5" wheels on my R33 GTS25t

front and rear guards have been rolled, tyres are 225/30/zr20

guards sit just on the rim, front and rear with only minimal rubbing at the front on hard lock.

Basically, 20s are so big, that it's almost impossible to keep the rolling diametre the same (on a skyline anyways).

19s are still really massive, if you really must go for big wheels.

Run it in a tyre calculator, but i have never seen any profile less than 30.

so your telling me my stupid 17 inch volk racing wheels r better

First of all work out what you want to achieve, looks (like I said chrome on sports are is bad, good for 4WD like in America) or power. If you have a massive FMIC and upped boost and 20 inch chromies... wtf are you trying to achieve? Its like a sprinter having a cigarette before a run...

If you want a nice modded car with nice wheels then get some smaller 18 wheels that are light weight... Im not asking you to get the super light type but something that doesnt weigh a tone... youll be amazed how slower sports cars go with 20 inch rims, esp chrome.

Make up your mind with the following pics:

Clearly chromes are suited for the 4WD!

Hell yea, gimme your volks :thumbsup:

Chrome is bad, but shadow chrome etc, the other forms that look fitting are nice...

There's a guy up the road from me with chromies on his monaro.. The entire rim is chrome lol, looks like a massive silver dinner plate.. it's ugly.

Don't put chrome near your car... unless its shadowcrome etc etc

And yea, 20's 19's even 18's are going to compromise your car's drivability and handling if not properly set up with the appropriate suspension...

... Dn't get chrome :

Massive chrome on skylines dont mix in my opinion, dont get me started on those vaults ones ahaha. Not only does huge chrome rims adds more weight to the car it also kills the comfort factor and tyres will burn a deep hole in your wallet. I rekon 17 18s light weight Jap rims are the way to go, suits the car more.

But hey if 20inch chormies float your boat Mario then go for it, its your car man in the end your customizing it to your liking not for others.

I am Getting gianelle deep chrome dish jet black 10 spoke 20s i seen an r33 with the black car black wheels with chrome dish looks sexy...how often will i hav to change tires ?

that all depends on alignment, and how stupid you are with the car.

not often if you dont do burnouts and drift. if you do... you better have deep pockets :(

At the end of the day its your car and you should modify it to your tastes not others.. if your intending to do SHOW then by all means go 20", but if its for a street car go 18".

and tyre prices between 19" and 20" isn't much different either, so if you can afford the initial cost may as well go 20". You will need 30 series on the front and if you like 35 on rear.

Cheers

    • OK, so all I can suggest is that - if you have all the parts, and you have all the wiring looms, and you have all the electronic modules, then....it really is just a wiring problem. You likely have a damaged wire, pin, etc, somewhere.
    • Yup, bought this bad boy and hopefully it will be ready to pickup today. Had $5 credit on top of it so it worked out really well!
    • Yeah it is really until until you get a feel for it....then it is easy. Which is no use to you really. I'd buy that torque wrench. One thing from sure, many (most?) tyre shots overtighten the f**k out of wheel nuts, so don't worry if they were tighter when you tried to take them off compared to when you do them up. I've had some crazy tight ones come back from shops, quite apart from the potential damage to the thread, I can't see a smaller person taking the wheel off on the side of the road
    • Hey mate, thread dredging hahah To answer you directly, yes I had my itbs oversized and custom butterflies etc made by EFI Hardware in Sydney back around 2017-2018 if memory serves. My setup had a vast amount of other changes too though, so no direct comparisons unfortunately. i went from oem itbs, HPI manifold and internal gate hks 2835 pro S; to 49mm itbs, cnc port matched Nismo plenum, RB25 Neo lower runner adapter hand port matched, r31house v2 Takoashi MAX equal length twin scroll manifold with twin 38mm tial gates and a FP HTA3076 with 1.01ar twin scroll real hosing. feom power Fc to a link fury wired by 12volt, r32 gtr fuel tank conversion with frenchys twin 460 / surge tabk fuel hanger combo kit, 1659cc injectors, full 4 inch turbo back stainless exhaust, Z34 6 speed, Tomei 2way with 4.3 final drive and a ton of other shit. ive posted elsewhere here with complete run down, but here's a graph from its initial tune with no boost control on, 20psi gate springs only and e85.   7542AE72-DA92-4E0B-8660-B0940FEA7F24.mov
