New Shoes

[BLISTC]

Hey guys

some of you saw my car at the meetup, just posting a few pics of the new rims on the car

19 x 9.5 +17 - 265/30/19 Dunlop SP Sport Maxx

19 x 10.5 +17 - 295/30/19 Michelin Pilot Sport 2

imo the right size 19" rim doesnt actually look small on the v35.

i also have Nagisa Auto Rear Camber, Rear Toe, and Front Camber arms in order to make the rims fit.

Running -2.5 Degrees Camber all round.

I also installed some HKS Kansai sway bars too. They make a MASSIVE difference to the body roll and handling of the car. A must have first mod for Everyone!

Car has been lowered, it is sitting on TEIN Comfort Sport Coilovers. I think they are at the max it can go in terms of height adjustment. This made the biggest difference to the look of the car, as a low V35 looks AWESOME!

one thing i planned for, is that i currently have 10mm hubcentric slip on spacers on order, so that i can bring the front rims out, bringing the offset of the front to +7. I would of ordered them in +7, but RAYS dont make them in that offset. Its +17 then +4...... big jump.

only 2 pics i have. enjoy.

that looks good.

Awesome Mark. Without doubt one of the nicest wheels you can get for a V35.

Completely agree about the sways as well. Had Nismo's on mine when i had it and it's like a different car!

looks good mate

very nice! Makes me wish I had 19s instead of the 18s. Also wish I had a coupe to fit those offsets. Next set will definately be 19s, just need to wait for the right set to pop up

Is -2.5 degree a bit too much for daily driving ? I had my R33 previously set to around this, as I took it to track once in a while, and it wears out the inside half of the tyres real fast... as it's driven more on the street basically daily.

hey guys thanks for the replies.

ive seen some V35's with 20" and in some photos it just looks too big. i reckon the best fitment would be 20" Rear and 19" front but then i dont know what that would look like.

-2.5 degree camber is alot, but all i do is going to get the tyres swapped around every 10,000kms or so, so that they will wear a bit more evenly. making the car look good comes at a price unfortunately.

PS. i also had to roll the rear guards as well to get that offset rim under the car

fair enough, as long as the tyre pattern is symmetrical then you can swap left and right every 10000kms

Good work, looks nice and I hope you don't forget to switch the tyres with the Camber your running...

some people forget unfortunately wasting tyres early in the piece.

nah i wont forget

its something i always keep an eye on and do and have done with my last 2 cars also

[Stephen Thorpe]

wish you could have taught me...

Looks awsome mate iam not normally a fan of aftermarket wheels on V35s but these wheels suits it very well, looked like you done your homework well on wheels selection !

[str8g]

I like the rims... looks phat.... i recon the 10mm spacers will look good on the front. I have 15mm spacers if you want them... I bought them for my car but they were a bit too small for the front. So had to get some 25mm...

[BLISTC]

the 15mm spacers will be too big but thanks for the offer

yeh i did alot of researched and looked at ALOT of photos of other V35s especially over in America before i ordered
