You could make them fit by buying a lower sized wheel? Lol 20" is just TOO big in my opinion. Good luck fitting, I got no other suggestions.

NAwww they are sexy tho :down: haha. anyone else got suggestions?? what if i flared the guards and got spacers??

if its hitting on the side the offset isnt right and you can fix it with spacers (make sure you get longer studs put in if you go this way), but then it will probably sit out the guards too much and you wont be able to lower it.

if its hitting at the top the tyre profile is obviously too high, 245/35 is huge for the front, shoudl be fine on the back, 225/30 is the way to go on the front and if the offsets are right you should be able to deck it hard.

The steering arm is sitting 1/4 over the tyre already... they are gunna be sitting way outside my guards.. lol. Im not lowering it. so not sure... :down:

iv got 20's on mine with 225/35's on the front and lowered, if you can stretch a tire it will be alright, as for top of the strut elbow joint the clearance wouldnt be any more than a 3mm gap, but doesnt cause any problems. just make sure if its lowered the suspension is tight otherwise when the wheels are turned under hard cornering or similair the tire will hit... flaring or wide body fenders will fix the problem but as said above it is a bit of stuffing around.

DAMN you must have a lot of coin! :laugh:

lol, yeah i had a set of deep dish 17" volks when i first bought the car, chucked the 20's on to raise it off the ground so i could get out off the driveway... would like a set of nice dished racing rims though...

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I did a bit of googling, the color MCM used was Galaxy Grey from House of Kolor. This is actually a colour I picked out about ~10+ years ago (or more). This one is a stock BMW colour, I guess over the years I figured it was smart to get an OEM colour that was pretty common for all of those sensible reasons one can think of..

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      I absolutely love having clean wheels and also totally love cleaning them. Its not as important to me to have a clean car exterior as it is to have clean wheels. So I bought a kit. I generally use different products for my wheels than anything else, so I thought I'd buy a proper kit and bucket to keep it all in. I got this one from Waxit. I also got the CQuartz wheel and plastic ceramic along with a bunch more application micro fibre pads as CQuartz never provide enough.  The kit was good, but as usual the big, long spongey thing didn't fit between my spokes, so I needed to use a detailing brush and a larger brush that I already owned (been doing this forever, the spokes on these wheels are frustrating.) I did a full clean with the wheel cleaner, it has an iron killing product in it, so I found that I could just use the cleaner and nothing else on the wheels. The tyre cleaner and handled brush were awesome. Made cleaning the tyres so easy. Once everything was clean, I decontaminated with isopropyl and applied the ceramic. Two coats. I bought 2 bottles as I have a lot of wheels to do, half of one bottle did two coats on these. The X5 has 20's so I reckon probably 3/4 on that. Then, for possibly the best part, the wheel cleaning kit comes with a tyre black applicator. But, this is possibly the greatest sponge of all time - its a great size, quite stiff and HAS A COVER! When you finish applying the black, you just put the cover back on! This is revolutionary, I normally have to try and find safe places to put my tyre black applicators as they are covered in silicone and tyre crap. Or, you use something which just falls apart. This applicator is the bee's knee's. Get one. It's worth it. The tyre black is also like a cream, its very thick but goes on really thin, its very easy to use with the applicator. Ayway, after a big clean, decontam, ceramic coat and tyre black the wheels went back on and they look awesome.   Thought I'd share.

      Haha. Good work. I feel some of your pain because I spent a bunch of time under my car over the period too. Probably nowhere near as much as you did. My happiness is similarly improved by obtaining a desired result though. Those side skirts are.....hecking. Very unfriendly for street and hoist. Sounds to me like you've made a cart that needs to be driven up only planks/blocks at a 2 post hoist, rather than trying to get it up onto a 4 poster. It's very pretty, by the way. Somewhat reminiscent of Marty's squid ink on SuperGramps - at least in the photos.

      ATTAKD 356mm Brake Kit for Nissan Skyline R34 GTT or R33 GTST (front)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      ATTAKD 356mm Brake Kit for R34 GTT or R33 GTST. Same brake kit as per here from JJ: https://justjap.com/products/attkd-brake-kit-nissan-skyline-r34-99-02?currency=AUD Can confirm these will bolt directly to a R33 GTST with 12mm bolts OR to a R34 GTT (which is what I had) with the supplied bolts and the collets for the 14mm bolt holes in the R34, which are included. Also included is a set of rotors and hats, as well as 2x brake pad sets. 1) DBA XP (street, hills) 2) Forza FR6 (track) These are radial mounted and bolt directly to R33/R34. You will need extended brake lines to avoid them being full stretch on lock - this is common for all BBK's with the bolt point being in the center. In my case I welded another stud about 25mm lower than the OEM one and retained stock lines and fittings. You'll want a BM57 BMC to get the most out of these. I speak from experience. $1800 (neg for SAU people), located SE Suburbs Melbourne.
