So... My V36 Skyline is soon to arrive to Australia, and I'm looking to change from the 20" aftermarket wheels currently on the car to a nice set of Matte Black wheels preferably available from Ozzy Tyres (online) and from the manufacturer XXR.

I'm looking for the best 'bang for value' \ value orientated set of wheels that look good, are relatively wide (and more flush, than tucked in appearance) and of course are legal - so I believe 18 x 8.75" on the fronts / rears are the way to go... unless someone suggests it's worth it to spend the extra $300 for the staggered rears setup (I believe they're 9.75" on the rears) :)

PS: Will 18's look too small on my V36 Skyline compared to 20's at the moment? Also, I won't be lowering the vehicle... Does anyone own a V36 Skyline *SEDAN* and have either of these wheels fitted?

Unless you can recommend another online (or local store in Adelaide) Ozzy Tyres seems to have the best range and value options with free shipping and guaranteed fitment.

What are your thoughts on the following wheels?

They're to go onto the following vehicle...

Cheap looking wheels look like a cheap suit , doesn't really matter which XXR rim you buy , you can't hide it .

Just buy some stockies again

I have avant garde m310 which are very similar to the 530 you have listed went with 20s in the staggered option got 8.5" +30 in the front and 10" +40 in the rear painted in dolphin grey from ozzy tyres, tyre wise 245/35 fr and 275/30 rear. Go staggered the extra width allows a much better launch, reducing wheel spin considerably....

if I had my time again would go a less aggressive offset in the rear maybe +45 and get a 285/30 tyre in there which would have almost identical rolling diameters front to back and slightly more sidewall.

As for ozzy tyres, good luck. First set they sent me was drilled in the wrong stud pattern second, second set the painter hadn't applied a primer and now the paints flaking... Just waiting for a time where I can get them powder coated.

Will the Forged Ray's 19" Wheels from a V35 be a straight bolt-on without needing spacers?

How will the offset look? Tucked in or near flush?

I have those on my friends V36 coupe at the moment which has same offsets as a sedan. They sit near flush compared to the OEM wheels these cars come with.

    • Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated
    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
    • A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.
