Another will it fit question.... anyone that can shed light or advice would be much appreciated :down:

I am looking at getting a set of 19x9.5 in a +38 or +25 offset - can anyone confirm if these will fit my M35 250t? Im thinking the +38 offset will be the go...

I want something to fill the guards properly - there seems like plenty of room with the standards, but feeling the inside of the front tyre - they seem pretty close the suspension swing arm.

I want something as wide as possible to really fill the guards.

I had 8.5" wide in my C34 stagea and I think that another 1/2 inch would have filled the guards a little better. Im not a fan of spacers, So I would prefer to go as wide as possible :)

R34 GTR wheels fit very well and I beleive they are a 9 or 9.5" wheel.

I think mine are 9.5 inch but they have 235s on them which means the side walls lean in, they have to so they dont rub. The rear guard needs to be rolled then wider would fit but the front is already rolled.

Fronts also rub at full lock.

I wouldnt go bigger than 8 front and 9 rear unless you like panelbeating. :)

Noice coice Danny!

Would look phenomenal on Stephen's RS I reckon.

*EDIT* ...but you could get *ahem* "more" if they went on iain's

They do look good, I might have to pop around and borrow them when danny fits 'em lol I'll provide a couple of bricks whilst I borrow them :)

nah his car is too pink, would look better on mine!

Get over it you wankah :( seriously, just drive your bland silver stagea :P

Buy the cheap ones. Our cars have so much grip that it is much more fun on a tire which you can slide occasionally... LOL :blush:

With Andy on this one....I have to be really pushing it on Falken's to have fun....even in the wet!!!

mxfly would have all the info that you'd ever need to know about your M35 rims, if you don't know it already. PM him.

Cuff all this!

When I go for new rims on the Stag I'm going to get some 15 x 8" Valiant 440 charger rims, nice and rusty with some fat old goodyears on the back.

The rust should tie in with the Ruby red paint work nicely :banana:

      Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
