Bis-e Bee Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I have done a search and there are various discussions about wheel dimensions / offset / size etc. but most of the relate to WC34 S I & S II. I'm wondering what is the best fit (i.e. no tyre scrubbing on guards etc.) for a M35 with standard issue brakes. I'm not in the market to fit new tyres to the vehicle yet but wouldn't mind looking around to see what's available as the standard issue 17's look a bit bland I'm hoping on doing heaps of driving in the first year of owning the car, hopefully wear down the current tyres on it so I can fit some newies. Thanks for your help guys. Stephen Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256200-wheels-for-m35/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see in the picture your car (I assume it's yours?) has red on the rim? I'm looking at something similar, could be identical but I can't tell from the pic.

GoldZilla Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I believe the offset should be the same as newer Skylines. I've got V35 Skyline 350GT wheels (18x8s with a +30 offset) on my s1 C34 and only had to roll my rear guards due to the width of my tyres (245s all round)...

JC807 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 IMHO they don't suit the car that well, they look too much like a DTM racing car style! consider simply looking for a lightweight 5 or 6 spoke rim with a bit more 'pizzazz' than the stock rim, so it stands out without screaming 'tempe package deal'.

GoldZilla Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Pfft, each to their own... Like they say, opinions are like ar5eholes, everyone's got one! I like the way those wheels look on Jet's car - personally I wouldn't have chosen them because I don't really like black wheels, but seeing as they're a mesh-style wheel and would be a PITA to clean, at least you won't notice the brake dust on them.

zei20l Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 yeah in person they definitely suit the car! i rekon the stock 17" rims look the best. someone should buy my set with new rubber Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256200-wheels-for-m35/#findComment-4419558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC807 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 whoa dude, i wasn't having a go at you personally, just stating my opinion on those rims. I just think DTM style rims look better on 90's euro cars and don't look good on late model japanese cars. chromies are a definate no-no too, but i prefer something more like this. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseU...te+w%2FMach+Lip Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256200-wheels-for-m35/#findComment-4420674 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, it's each to their own, but in this case, thank f*ck for that - there are some "trends" that will never make sense to me. After all, following a trend or fashion doesn't mean you automatically have a sense of style!

hydra Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) Hi Gents, Ive got some wheels lined up, can anyone confirm 19" x 8.5", Rear - 19" x 9.5" Offset: 30mm (Front & Rear) (No Dish) PCD: 5x 114.3mm would fit the M35 ARX, will the offset make the wheels rub on anything? what is your wheel fit and offset?

You will need to confirm with those more knowledgeable on the site but I think I've seen mentioned a few times that the tyre sizes MUST be the same or not majorly different. I think it has something to do with the ATTESSA system?!

(AWD) 245 front 265 back, I read that aswell, in my search somewhere aswell before I posted. He mentioned that if the rolling diamter is different would wear out the transfer case for some reason or another, Im mainly concerned about rubbing ect on the inside or on the arch?

andy65b Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 + 1. Need to be the same size or you will screw up the ATESA system. Offset that i think most people have used effictively is +36. It depends a bit on if you want to upgrade the front brakes.

Cheers Andy You can run staggered sizes as long as the ROLLING DIAMETER is the same, i.e; 245/45/18 & 275/40/18 have the same rolling diameter, accurate to .01%. Use the tyre size calculator on the site to check, sometimes it can be a real faff to get right. Seems like the +30 on a 9.5" might be a squeeze, if the stockers are a +45 8" Andy, was that +36 offset on an 8" rim?

zei20l Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 but remember - and its been mentioned before - when a tyre is put on a wider or narrower rim than reccommended, the rolling diameter changes. so IMO its best to have it the same all the way around so you dont do damage Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256200-wheels-for-m35/#findComment-4558094 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daleo Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) I agree, the other alternative is staggered offsets, that way you can push the rims right out to the guards and you can still rotate tyres, they just have to be swapped on rims. The same width/ offset front and rear is much more practical, day to day. Personally, I think 18x9 or 19x9 with a +45 offset would be hard to beat for filling the guards and for sheer prescence. Don't know how you go legally tho'.

andy65b Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Andy, was that +36 offset on an 8" rim? Correct. If I am reading the Japanese manual correctly standard is +40.

andy65b Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 It may depend on your suspension height to run that offset. I know my +36 scrape the front guard flare when turning and going through a drive way.
