Sounds bizarre but since the cheapest quote I got for tyres on my standard M35 stagea wheels was over $300 for some pretty ordinary tyres, it seems as though it makes more sense to buy an new set of wheels and then get tyres for them. Different profile = more options = better prices.

Looking at some wheel and tyre packages form import monster I thought I would try here for some advice (searching around the forum for wheel and tyre info for the beast has done my head in).

These are some attractive options but does anyone know whether they will work on the M35 without messing it up?:

The biggest issue to look at here is the staggered sizes. You really need to stay with the same size wheel & tyre front & rear. Differing tyre dia, even a couple of percent out cause issues with the atessa.

Don't even get me started about welded wheels; how did they crack, where is your x-ray report to guarantee this wheel won't destroy itself...

In the Stagea classifieds, a fella has a set of Buddy club 19 x 9.5" +38 offset with ok tyres for about $1200! He says these have been test fitted on an M35 and were perfect, I'd talk to him..

As an aside; in about 2 weeks I'll have a set of 18x8 +40 offset, ARX alloys in immaculate 2pack silver, no marks, no rash, with worn out tyres going quite cheap, these look great on M35's. I just have to wait for my new rims to be painted.

PM if interested.

Cheers, Dale.

Chances are you will need a spacer with these wheels, they will only give 4mm clearance with the suspension. Given the possibility of flexing etc. you would be taking a gamble. As Benny has pointed out +35 is the ideal offset from the experimentation they carried out.

Sweet, I love the ARX rims. PM sent :domokun:

Sound advice thanks. The welds were worrying me. I saw those rims in the classies and they look OK, nice price. But I've never liked the idea of spacers.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
