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.

    • I don't run the spring but it means you need to set your own belt tension.  I put tensioners on both sides too.
    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
