Just to actually help you out the size of the rim will have little affect on clearance issues it is more due to offset and width of the rims. although you won't be able to use stretched tires to your advantage as much on rims that size also it will look like aids

what i dont understand is why anyone would want to change rims at all!!!

Just stick with the originals mate they are the bestest strongest and lightest rims you can get, not to mention the best looking...

All these gooses spending 1000s on rims for what, to look shit and get defected, dont they know how much naws you can buy for 2grand..hide it under your front seat and the cops will never know, plus when your running that much naws you will go through tyres very quickly so best stick with 17s they are much cheaper..Otherwise you will end up like those dopey commodore kids with huge bling on the front and steelies on the back dragging your ass around like a dog with worms because you cant afford another set of 20inch tyres till your next tax refund which is like 10 months away..

Another thing to note with big wheels is POTHOLES..these can destroy a bling rim in .0013 seconds then you will be stuck running your space saver which looks bad at the best of times but even worse when its matched with 20 inch chromies, plus your diff and/or your steering will be rather confused with the difference in wheel profiles..

Also your turning circle becomes a nightmare with your guards rubbing making all sorts of noise...so if the chicks did think your car looked cool they will think it sounds like its falling apart which is kind of self-defeating the whole purpose of sexy rims which is to attract the pussy..

NB ..(Although this can be masked by 2 or more fully sik subwoofers, this only works when girls are inside your vehicle which is highly unlikey if they have heard it or you havent slipped em a few rowies beforehand, if you have slipped em rowies they wont care or remember what wheels are on your car anyway so maybe invest in rohipnol instead of wheels, not only is it much cheaper ,it would also swing the chance of you actually getting laid in your favour considerably..)

All in all big wheels will achieve nothing other than feeding some chinaman and his family for a day..so why not cut out the middle man and send your hard earned $$$ straight too world vision and do the world a favour

Maybe save some for some good quality tyres, not only will this actually improve your vehicles fuel consumption,performance and handling it will also improve your credibility and may also save the lives of the drugged out girls in the back seat oneday :)

Go for some nice 18's mate. I put 19' on my S14a when i first got it. I nearly went 20's :P It didnt take long for me to realise that they make a fast car that is supposed to handle well, handle like crap. They are heavy and look crap.

Went to a nice set of 18's and the car just looks and handles sooo much better.

I think the problem isnt so much whether or not 20's will fit in the guard. Cos it will.

The problem is that you just cant get the right offset and physically place the wheel in the guard without massive work.

I suppose the wheels are cheap though..

btw. You dug your own grave on this one

Ive had 20's on my R34 coupe for 4 years with no issues, except i did have to shave off a small bit of metal on the upper control arms of the front suspension to stop the tyres from scrubbing. Car drives well and still handles great.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
