+7 offset ??? good luck. If yours is lowered, be prepared to at least roll the guards or add a FRP guard extension. Most GTR wheels' offsets are around +15, where do you find these rims? Sounds like one of those VIP chrome wheels off a japanese VIP-styled sedans?

Normally in Options magazine Japan, for 350Z or V35 around +20-25 offset is considered quite 'aggressive' already to the standard's offset which is around +35-38.

+7 means your outer edge of the rims will stick out around 3cm outside IF your aftermarket rims is also 8" in width like the OEM rims.

However you have 8.5" and 9.5" that means it will stick out more around 4cm front and around 6cm rear. Grab a ruler and stick it onto your std rims,

and you can imagine how much those rims will stick out.

You can install a narrow tyres to get away with it, stretching the sidewalls so it really looks like those VIP cars in Japan, with a mad negative camber.

Although I doubt it will be legal here to run your car with such camber and rim/tyre combination.

Alternatively you can remove your front guard panels and cut the rear qtr panels, transform the V35 to a go-kart/F1 style, or a Caversham open wheeler club racer :) Don't forget to chop off the roof and install a roll cage.

Thanks for that :)

"where do you find these rims? Sounds like one of those VIP chrome wheels off a japanese VIP-styled sedans?"

Nope just a hot set of VSKF's

As far as +25 being aggressive hmmm. I use to run x9 +15 front and rear on a 180sx with stock guards.

What sort of sizes should i be looking to get, offset and width wise.

Any pics... sounds really MAD, probably more of a show rims rather than a practical daily driving one, I'd imagine it'll constantly rub your guards or scrape the gutters...

Check the offset with offset calculator here:

Std V35 rims are 8" with +35 offset front and +38 offset rear. I'm not sure if rear is 8.5" but you can get an idea how much they will stick out using that calculator

actually based on the 18x8 +30 stock rims the ones you want will sit 29mm out at the front and 42mm out at the rear. If you have the stock 18s go measure the tyre to guard space and you will find that there is plenty of room there without needing to run stretched tyres.

A +7 offset would be very aggressive only if you were running 9.5 fronts and 10.5 rears.

i have some 20x9.5 front and 20x11 rear on the way for v35 coupe with +25 offset all round. I will be lowered on tein s-techs and only plan on rolling the guards to fit. You should be fine with that combo, you may need to roll the guards at worst

hi mate, can you PM me where you are able to get wheels of this size? is it costing you an arm and a leg?

are finding 20" tyres easier than 19" ? initially I was going to 235/35 & 265/35 on 19 as those are the closest compatible size but looks like will have to go 245 & 275

Hi ,

I have a question relating to this. My car has front 245/35/19 yokohama and 275/35/19 rear. Now im looking for new tyres for the front as they are pretty worn and i found a great deal on some pirelli's p-zero rosso. But the size is 235/45/19 instead of 245/35/19. Will these tyres fit without rubbing the guards and will it throw my speedo out ? The car has not been lowered and is factory height from what i can tell.

The 235/45 will be 2cm bigger in radius compared to the 245/35 you had.

Although it may fit however the circumference will be around 5% bigger than standard so that is not really recommend to have aftermarket tyres that is bigger than 3% circumference, however I'm not sure where the speedo reading is taken, possible from around the diff area, so it may not affect your speedo speed.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
