20" Rims On A Stock R32 Gtst

[rakattack]

hey guys i am just wondering if any1 knows whether or not 20" rims will fit a stock r32 gtst (the offsets and width and bolt patten are all proper) or if i will have to raise the car to fit these.

Thanks

Why? Oh Why?

They will fit but they'll have to be skinny rims and tyres. Just get some nice 18's and keep it low. Looks much better than flashy 20" rubbish.

you'll have to raise the car... and paint it pink

fullee sick 20s bro

unless your planning on entering your car into a show (which you very well might be) don't even consider driving around with them on the street.

i'v never understood why you would compromise handling and grip in a sports car for cheap lebo looks.

my mate had 20" vault cyrstals on his R33 gts-t

not only did it look shiit the ride quality was completely fkd.

If anyone noticed alot of cars including the GTR now comes with 20" rims, Several race cars run big 20" on the front to increase handling.

20's will fit get the offset right n work from there.

yes the new GTR comes with 20s. but the gts-t originally came with 16s

i wonder how 24's would go on the new GTR. my guess is not so good.

Those wheels are not chrome bling though.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

yeah and with the r35's massive wheel arches they dont look homo like they do on a 31 32 33 34

Exactly^

For looks. The car is so huge that small rims look disproportional.

Several race cars run big 20" on the front to increase handling.

I'm curious to see which race cars do. And I'm not sure how increasing unsprung weight and rotational inertia provides an increase in handling.

Going to big rims has little to do with improving handling, especially not a 4" increase over stock. On a race car you go for the smallest wheels you can fit around your brakes. Sometimes that necessitates putting on bigger rims than stock.

At any rate, the suspension is engineered around the wheel/tyre combo. What's the likelihood that this guy's R32 has its geometry and components engineered around 20's? Or that it will only get driven on smooth surfaces where the loss of sidewall compliance and increase in unsprung weight is not going to more than offset the supposed benefits of reduced sidewall flex?

as mentioned in the original post the car is stock.

the cars "geometry" has been set up to handle the stock 16" wheels that were issued from the Nissan factory floor.

so 20s will not do at all for this setup.

lol at putting 20"s on a r32

Ahahahahahahahaha

hahahah

hahahahahaha

hahahahahahaha

haha

hah

ha

Buses come with huge tyres and rims - so by that principle bus wheels should work out OK on the 32 as well.

GOLD.

[rakattack]

well thanks for hatin lol, just saw some rims i liked that didnt come in 18s so thought i would ask i figured i would get laughed at but wth hey?

thanks guys u can close this thread

[NZM.031]

can you see the rims when your driving?? i cant on my r32 so my guess is no... therefore looks mean nothing, purpose means everything. buy your 20" rims and stick em on your wall, use them for a glass coffee table or tv stand where you can see em.

[Phobic]

hahaha there was an r32 going round perth NOR for a while with 20"s on it... it looked ridiculous like a overlander rollerskate

[DECIM8]

for the record buses are not 5 stud lol best come back i got.

TO ANSWER THE QUESTION:

Yes they will fit .. you would need a cheese cutter wheel something like 20x8 with an offset to fit .. coilovers would do wonders too ..

LOLOL dont do it. please dont do it.
