I know wheels have been covered before but I wanna know what the lowest offset 19" wheel someone is running on their M35 or PM35 stag. I'm looking at a 19x11 +10 rear and 19x10 +23 front, I know the fronts will fit but unsure of the rears? The car is on air and I know ill have to run a fair amount of camber.

Camber is not a solution for wheels that don't fit. The wrong camber will upset your handling and chew out tyres. Modifying the guards is the way to go. Or getting wheels that fit.

BTW the smallest tyres you should run on 11in rims is 275 - better is 285 or 295 (max 305)

The stance life is obviously not your life. I understand alot of camber will wear my tires faster but I'm wanting to know what the lowest offset someone is running on their car. I need to clear big brakes and want a lot of dish.

Yeah you aren't going to make too many friends on here or (by the looks of it) get any decent responses.

Good lock

Stance life is not the popular life on here that's for sure.

So yu have big brakes for looks also?

I understand alot of people hate stanced cars, im not one of those blokes running double digit camber and scrapping on leafs. The big brakes are an upgrade over the stock shitty ones, I thought I may as well go big. 356mm fronts and 330mm rears

Yep I'm one of those who prefers function to stance but hey its your car - go for it. But I doubt you'll fit 19 x 11 with 10P without modifying the guards and perhaps not even then if its fouling on the inside..

Try this site:

I've been on that site quite abit but it's hard without having the wheels to test it in person. The guards will definatelly have to be modified, time to test fit some wheels I guess.

Here's a start, more aggressive than the specs you've listed but something to throw in to an offset calculator to compare if nothing else.

Perfect stagea, im buying very similar wheels. With everything online I'm not sure if people are using spacers, I don't want to.

There is never any need to use spacers if you can afford to buy the right offset. But note that the featured car has had megabucks spent on reshaping not just the guards but the doors

I understand that car is far from stock and no doubt it isnt using spacers, however there's alot of cars that do run them. I think I've found some offsets that I'll be able to work with though. 19x9.5 +10 and 19x 10.5 +15

This is my friend Oliver's PM35.

He has removed the Semi's in the above photo and fitted more sensible sized tyres to fit inside the guards.

That M35 above is mine. Yes semi slicks are gone, replaced them with 245/35/20 on the 9.5 fronts and 275/30/20 on the 10.5 rears. Fronts have 25mm spacers to clear the brakes but still fit under the guard without a problem.

My rear tyres have around 3mm clearance to the plastic guard with camber around -1.5 (not sure haven't had an alignment lately). Non axis models don't have the plastic guards so may be different for you.

Depending on tyre size you could possible get a 19x11+10 to fit, but camber would be up a bit.

Also, just curious, which air setup did you get? And is your car RWD or AWD?

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By Duncan · Posted

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      Rear suspension upgrades

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info

      It looks like you've got Ikeya control arms and an aftermarket sway bar, maybe whiteline?  Or am I just going crazy? lol Unfortunately it won't, but what it will do is look really pretty. That's about all unfortunately.  How much neg camber do you currently have? Generally lowing the car dials in quite a bit of neg camber as it is. If you do go down this path, your best bet is get adjustable arms, toe arms (or preferably a good HICAS elimination kit) and traction rods. With all 3 being adjustable, you'll be able to dial out any bump steer that is introduced by playing with the camber settings.
