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. :-)

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
