hi, can anyone tell me the [correct] offsets for 19.8.5 front,and 19.9.5 rear, for a v35 2003 prem coupe, I would like to keep tyres inside guards, any help on this would be great. Thanks G.T.

The most common offsets for those sizes are +22 front and rear. However if you are lowered and how far will also play a part in how agressive you can go with the offset.

I've also seen front offsets go into the high teens, but by far +22 is the most common.

I'm currently running +24 F and +28 rear on the sizes you mentioned and to they look fine, and i have no rubbing issues at all. The car i slightly lowered with Nismo springs and shocks.

Good time for a pic :D

With the right tyre profile you can go lower.

People run 9.5 / 10.5 with +22 offsets for the wheels in the stock guards. If you're running an inch narrower wheels, you can afford to drop 5mm off those offsets and still be safe.

Thanks, the wheels Im getting are 19.8.5 F. and 19.9.5 R. offsets for front are 22,30,38,45. The rear offsets are 30,38,45, only. Do you know what the best combo would be. Thanks very much for help. G.T.

Hey mate,

Tyres are

F 245/40/19

R 275/35/19

The drop I have is very subtle, probably about the same as what you would get from 350z springs. I lowered my last one on 350z tein H-techs and was very happy with the drop, a bit more than the pic I have but it did scrape on the odd driveway.

However the NISMO package is a massive step forward compared to stock. I've driven a stock coupe around a track, and my current one which as NISMO springs/shocks and sways and it's like night and day.

Hey nismo, you say you are running 245/40/19 F, is the rolling Dia larger than STD, I thought 245/35/19 would have been the correct size for the front, was there a reason for the larger Dia Tyre, just curious, Thanks mate G.T.

Hey mate,

Yep it is slightly larger than standard, but I did a bit of reasearch and the sizes I have (front and rear) work fine together and don't effect teh VCD in any way.

I didn't specifically look for these but when my rims came in from Japan, the tyres were removed. And the guy who brought them in only had these in his workshop and offered them to me at no extra cost. The tyre's are Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 which are around $900 each so i would have been crazy to not take them. :-)

    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
