here's a couple of my stag at Pt Broughton new years day 2009. She towed the 1800kg van with ease 15.8L / 100km and 17.8/100 on the way home with a huge head wind.

1800kg van??? where did you get a tow bar capable of that weight for an M35???

Bloody Hell Dan! I hope you didn't encounter any speed bumps along the way.

That 1800kg's definitely puts a strain on your rear suspension.

Nice towball setup though

Who did the fabrication and install?

I built the bar from a modified magna wagon setup, Was a pretty big job to get adequite fixings on the M35 chassis rails, wheel well & back panel. The entire setup has about 20 grade 8.8 bolts attaching it. This setup is not rated as such but from my background of electrical and structural engineering i know that the bar is not the weakest link. I am more woried anout the ally sub frame, where other have seen cracking.

The car needs some air bags for towing the van as it sits pretty low and hopefully I can get these installed before my next trip.

Overall it is a good tow car, Very happy with my stag

side skirts only sitting on hence the gap at the front, just a quick test fit of the rims from my other car and now i think they are staying for good 18x10+20 offsets with 235 tyres, they sit real nice actually, the rear needs to be lowered abit more before i post a pic of that.

Man that looks awesome.

Do you reckon you will get any rear rubbing with rims that wide? I am about to fit rims on my car and I would love to fit a set of fat alloys like that.

lol seen earthmoving machines dissapear that close to the water . looks solid but only a crust, quick sand undernearth.

took my back wheels of my truck once thank god for 6x6 drive

[unique1]

the rear offset is pretty aggressive compared to fronts, i think it shall tuck the tyre in the gaurd but the rim will stick out, hence the reason for 235 tyres so they stretch abit, this is a pic of the rear but its not low at all so when lower it will tuck in abit more. I have the car on the brick trying to get it to lower down abit but it didnt do much. the front rim on in the pic is just a 33 gtr rim.

I wont be driving the car with these on for a while yet so cant comment on scrubing etc until i test them.

^^^ you'll be right when you drop it a little, you'll gain some camber and she'll be apples - beware of inner clearance though as you'll be mighty close to the shock

here's my rears that sit the same as yours, just rear end slammed

good to see another stag with mint wheel fitment

[SHIZNT]

I've got 18x10 with pretty much the same offset on the rear of my Stagea and it doesn't scrape at all..

[Jezboosted]

i like the look the offset rims give thats for sure !

gave the stagea a good wash and polish today ready to start a year of daily driving !
