Didnt know where else to Post this.

But It has come time for me to get mi Mits on some new tyres. Ive Been Looking around a bit, and have Noticed that Bugger all tyre shops actually have 20" tyres. BoB Jane were the only place out of about 5 that I Visted, that actually stock 20" tyres, only 1 brand tho, WANLI and $320 a tyre stings just a little. So I was hoping some 1 could steer me in the direction of some Magical place that have various brands of 20" tyres and good prices.

peace!

Your worried about $320 a tyre for 20's? onoes...

Dude a decent 20" tyre that isnt a death trap is going to be at the least, $400-450 a corner, and a lot more for a decent tyre :wave:

What distributors have you tried so far?

i would spend the extra $$ and get a decent tyre.. Ive had a set of cheaper 20" tyres and they squell when cornering and have minimal grip and were outright dangerous in the wet.

I now have decent Nankang NS 2 performance tyres which costed me about $500 each, but their well worth it as they wear slower and have a heap of grip.

You can't put a price on your life.. trust me go the extra mile and buy something decent..you pay for what you get.

wtf?

lol thats massive for wat car?

widebody R32... rear wheel is Work VS-XX 17"x11" -6 offset. 315/35/17 is a common sized tyre in the US as its the same size corvettes and vipers use. They even make Nitto drags in that size :thumbsup:

Kakimoto wide body R33

I wish... kakimoto takes 355/something/17's. lol craig almost tore his hair out looking for new tyres... only people that make em are bridgestone and pirelli... special order.

I just bought 20inch rims for my R32 GTR i live in Sydney and got them from Tempe tyres, they were custom drilled on site and are perfect offset for the car.

They sold them with Nankang but i upgraded to a Toyo brand. It fills the guards perfectly and still have room to lower the car 2 inches from stock ride height when i get my coil overs soon. They cost usually $3600 but they had a deal going and i managed to bargain them to $2800 fitted with the up rated tyres to so i was very happy.

I cant believe it but my ride quality is still great even with the mrs in the car i was very surprised not that bumpy could be because i had a good set of tyreson there quality counts.

When i figure out how to put pics on this site i will put it in you guys will be surprised how good 20s look, i will keep the Original forged 16 inch GTR rims for track use and drifting events but the 20s are for show.

Cheers,

Dave.

Hi there Paul R33 i am not sure what it will cost for 20inch rubber yet i got them as i great package deal.But i will say this my GTR in its current mild form ran a 12.4 1/4mile with ease i had no wheel spin or broke traction, i have pushed this car hard on the street always and never had had probs unless i wanted them if you know what i mean and all of this was done with the cheapest set of standard Bob Jane tyres. Yep no bull so if below average tyres will rack up a low 12sec 1/4 and handle decently on the road im sure a set of low profile Toyos will easy out handle and grip the cheapest set of Bob Janes.

Cheers,

Dave.

have u had the wanli's before...??? iam not really a fan of them as the tend to understeer in the wet, wouldnt suggest them for a performance car.

Yea ive Got WANLI's atm, and they are dangerous in the wet. traction is a minimal. Drifting around every corner in the wet is bit rediculous at times. but id have to admit on Hot days they are Alright.

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
