Alloys Question

[SC-berks]

The never ending saga.

Has anyone ever tried 20's? Was thinking about these... but wonder if 20's will just be too much ... and impractical

Aquanuke... you have 20's don't you... will it be a straight plug and play option? or are there troubles.

20's are no problem even if lowered. Post some pics when their on :D

My GTR has 20s as standard. 22s have been fitted. Maybe worth trying these!

As above 20" kahns on mine no problem and the everyday ride is fine two.

I would be all over them they look hot. Get them on

Yep, thinking the same... going to go over to his place next weekend, put them on to make sure they fit alright and most likely buy them..

was trying to talk myself out of spending a couple grand.. but think they will suit the car well..

I'll post pics if I buy ;)

Dont talk yourself out of it. Our cars look hot with large aftermarket wheels. Totally changes the look and gets all the stares. Post up the new pics when they are on you wont regret it a bit.

Good luck

Well went and tried them out today. Not too big, though it looked like would have been ideal to lower an inch.

Problem was that they were off a GTR=4 wheel drive, which called for same width all way around. Think they were 9J's

Fronts stuck out a good half inch further than what looked good/right/normal. I would need to get a new centre piece for the fronts with a better offset ; There was a two finger gap between the tire and control arm/bar... so room for adjustment. imagine that would be £400 per alloy or so, not sure if worth the effort.

Here are pics.

and then the problem shots...

Wife likes the pics... so think I'm on the right track ( as it is her car after all :) )

Steve i not sure but i think if the wheels are two large for the arch then your car will fail the MOT.

Not MoT failable, but its contruction and use if the police pull you over. 3 points per tyre not covered by the arches i believe.
