M35's Wheels. What Wheels Do You Like On Your M35?

[Beregron]

Ok so this may seem a silly question to some but hear me out and do your best to speak down to my proposition....

I am fully aware from reading this and the other thread re: wheels that 9.5 +33 (or was that 9.5 +22.. i'll double check) is perfect fit for the front of an M35 due to suspension arm etc but my question is regarding the rears.

Assuming i roll the guards has anyone has any experience fitting 11ich wheels on the rear with tyres to fit (not streched). Probably a +12 or a +22 or something like that...

Please remember i have no Attesa to keep happy so no fear from any of those issues.

Oh and 19inch wheels.... btw

Cheers.

Mine had a 20x10.5 +25 on the rear when I bought it, with 245's and it poked a good inch from the rolled guards, with a decentish amount of camber. I have no idea how much inner clearance they had though


I don't think you'd be able to get away with 11's TBH, youd need to get the offset bang on, and get the tyre size spot on to fit it under the guards.

[Beregron]

Excellent info mate.

Much appreciated.

I think for the hassle involved i'll just stick it out with 9.5's all round but my intention was to borrow some style from the 350'z crowd that run Varrstoen ES6's staggered on my M35. (see attached image)

I may still go that path so we shall see...

Thanks again mate

Cant hurt to get the measuring sticks out and have a play?


Should be able to get a 10.5 under the rear fairly easily though, just dont quite know where that extra half inch would be able to fit

[Beregron]

Yeah i agree mate.

Would look fairly impressive in my opinion.

[BIGZED]

Oh for sure, I'd love to run a meaty tyre, but AWD life still. Happy with my 245's/9.5 combo for the minute.


One day eventually I'll follow you down the manual/rwd/awesome path, but for now I have to deal with it.

[Beregron]

Nice one. I can't recommend the manual path enough for those wanting a nice street experience.

I want to get the car sitting nicely on nice wheels and add a new stainless cat back exhaust which can now sit higher due to not having an auto to clear.

Then it's back to tuning / turbo choices to finish it off

Anything can be made to fit. I think the most you'll get out of stock guards with rolling and some pumping is a mid offset 11. Myself personally will be running 19x10+6 rears and won't be poking, however ill also have close to 10 degrees camber. It all depends what style your after and if you want to make use of the 11" wide wheel or if it's for show.

[Beregron]

yeah that's what i figure. Anything can be made to fit but i don't want to run any sort of impractical camber. The 350z's i have seen look great and i am basing my M35's look on them.

I have a few other jobs to do before i go shopping for wheels anyway so i'll think about this a bit.

20x10 all round fits with no scrubbing at all.

+35 rear, +32 front (3mm spacer for arm clearance)

I have 2 spare wheels if you want to buy another 2 from ozzy to make a set. You can have them for cost price as I got them at cost to fix a mix up they caused.

Cheers mate but if i do go for actual Work Meisters i'll be going for an imitation set (Varrstoens)

I'm just not 100% where to shop for them as yet. The US site won't show my postage costs to Australia even though Australia is an option on the ordering page... I emailed the NZ distributor but the cost of the wheels seemed a lot more expensive even taking into account shipping to them. I mean of they are a distributor should i have to fork out full tote for that side of the shipping??? perhaps i do...

Why not go genuine meisters? There won't be that much of a price difference after having to get them posted from NZ or the US. You'll have a better selection of finishes aswell as offsets.

[Beregron]

I may go for meisters. Haven't made my mind up yet but i think you'll find a decent price difference.

[Beregron]

Ok so i managed to find a decent set pricewise of Varrstoen ES6's but they are 19x9.5 +12's. So i'm now not that worried about the rears anymore but the fronts slightly worry me...

I had a fresh read of the threads on here but with my skim reading i couldnt find anyone running a +12 on the front of an M35. I think +22 on a 10 inch rim was the closest i could find...

I reckon, as mentioned above, i could make them fit...

They would look mad too.

[Brick]

I reckon they would poke a good inch outside of the guards

[Beregron]

you don't say...

hmm.

[tomo123]

you don't say...

hmm.

I'm about to install my 19x9.5 +1's on my PM35, currently waiting on adjustable front arms.

[Beregron]

Yeah i am thinking the same...

I found a picture of an PM35 with 18x9.5 +10's... bit of poke tho.

I'll attach the picture to this post.
