it can be done, you will need wider guards not just lipped, and a low offset wheel to clear. i just finished fitting up 19x10 all round on a gtt, 19offset with aftermarket guards, sits flush.

youll need a big tyre for 10", which on the front of a 4 door will make a fair difference when driving.

20x8.5front/20x10rear is btter suited in my opinion, unless you've already got the guards then go for it.

20s is a big step from 19s believe it or not

you cant fit wide 20s and lower the car to a decent height with stock guards

you need wider guards or a shortened rear diff/suspension set up and big tubs

i can fit 19x10 all round on my car and it will look ok height wise

but anything wider than 20x8 and unless it sits like a land cruiser it wont fit

how so?

20s on my car was the same as 18s ride and handling wise

I've got 20s and my car isn't a useless trophy, its a car i take out almost every weekend, my wife and kids love going out in it

not everyone is at home on a race track with vinyl graphics and massive GT wings from NASA

Unsprung Weight.

20 inch wheels are not your friend.

If the only reason to put this size wheel is for looks, you need to decide if this one 'pro' is worth the many 'cons' of a big heavy wheel.

Nice japanese light weight 17 or 18" Work, Volk etc wheels look 10 times better than ANY 20", full stop. Plus you get the extra respect and kudos. :laugh:

My two cents.

I Can understand how it looks good on a 4 door but I dont understand why you would want 10" on the car all round? Id go 8.5 front (the steering would be shithouse with anything higher still takes me forever to spin the car) and 9.5 rears .. no chance you could fit 10" on the back from how much clearence I had :S

Ive got 20x8.5 all round with 255/30 at the rear (which ends up being a touch under 10 inch), its slammed pretty hard with only lipped guards and doesnt rub at all at the rear, although does a occasionaly at the front when you are doing a u-turn.

Theres even room for 265s had I been available at the time.

    • Depends how low and tyre size. Should fit with natural camber, skinny tyres and rolled guards.
    • Hi guys, planning to get 18x9 +25 in fronts and 18x10 +25 in rears been reading the whole thread and cant really find anything   Anyone know if these will fit a r34 gtt with no scrubbing or guard work needed?
    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
