9.5 Nismo Rims Wont Go On The M35

[PetroDola]

yeah the 9.5 width with the 30 offset .. dunno hey.. they stick out the rears 1.5inches.

some gaurd pumping if its not beyond possible!?

could be an arab emirates camber pipe dream!

do it the japanese way. make the car fit around the wheels

[SMOKEYV35]

1.5 inches.....you can generally get around 50mm of flare on a gaurd without cracking the paint or 'duckbilling' them - any more than that and it's respray time.

sounds like you should have probably done a bit more research on your offsets before you lashed out unfortunately.....

........i'm sure a GT-R owner will give you good money.

[iamhe77]

From all accounts 9.5 +30 should fit.

Have you actually seen it or just taken the shops word for it?

Really? Is that at standard height? As you lower the car, the tops will tuck in a surprising distance.

I thought Chris (spoolin'12) was running 19x9.5 +35 (or 18x9.5 +35); and his sit inside the guards.

I thought that bbenny was running similar size as well

Its at the shops and its sticking out 1.6inches on rear with the rim on the car. would require fibreglass front gaurds.. sticks out the front 1.3 inches and 5mm gap on my strut tower.

its not gonna work without either serious camber adjustments and chewing through 2000$ tyres or different front gaurds, rears could be pumped and itd look tough..but one bump on stock suspension its gonna be grinding tyres. not exactly the driveability im going for.

theyre simply too wide.. the guy said itd work on a c34.. not an m35 without some crazy gaurd flaring. he said youd be lucky to get an 8.5 with a 30offset and be better of searching out an 8.

well anyone wants them theyre up for sale.. would work on a r34 gtr. or a 350z without issue.

back to the drawing board.. for some volks with 8 width

i got them for $3350.. anyone wants them they can take them for 3k + postage

or you could do this!

lol... if only i had that kind of spare cash to just pour down the drain. unfortunately this is not the case ;D

owell i tried and failed! 19's with a 8/8.5 width and 30/35 offset should be on the money

i was told it would work! and questioned it heaps prior to purchase.

i guess unless you know people who have done it then you probably cant take anyones word for it. i was told 9.5 x 30 offset should work, it didnt, so i will definately be more carefull next time. I mean after all if i had a spare $1000 to go pumping gaurds it'd be a different story. But again it could end up very cop baitish regardless of how tough it looks. so its a bit of a double edged sword there.

even the shop guy questioned the 9.5 width stamp on the rim saying "they look unusually big for a 9.5" *shrugs*

What size tyres did you use?

And if you are at stock height, lowering it will definitely start to get the wheels tucking in a bit. Guards lipped + pulled or flared, it could still work out. Could be worth checking with a body shop if they can get it working on stock guards before selling off the wheels.

Not sure if you have said, have you seen it yourself? Or have you got some pics of how its looking at the moment?

yeap stock height - could be right with the lowering

seen it myself and took a pic on my phone..245's wer going to be the tyre and it wasnt the tyre that was the issue it was the rim. but havent xfered it onto the pc.. it looked pretty ridiculous.

i could check out some body shops first but im not getting my hopes up

Bbenny is running 8.5x 19" + 22 iirc. I'm running 18x8" +30 with plenty of clearance. Hold off selling until you have your lowered suspension fitted. Camber changes everything.

[SMOKEYV35]

you should try fitting them up, jack one corner up and put a big block of wood under the tyre and let the car back down slowly - you will compress that corner enough to see if the camber will bring it under the gaurds.

guys are right, camber does amazing things. my LS400 had 19x10's hanging out the gaurds on stock suspension, with the coilovers in, i was looking at getting spacers just to get them out more! i reckon i gained about 25mm of clearance from just lowering.

they should be pretty easy to sell though if you don't want the hassle. even get in touch with import monster and see if he will do a swap for some less agressive rims - he has offered me this before.

[KiwiRS4T]

Sorry to comment after the fact but it seems you were poorly advised on the basis of people who are prepared to run excessive negative camber and put "stretched" tyres on. I don't usually comment on these wheel fitment matters because I am probably considered old fashioned or maybe just old! I hate stretched tyres. Even 245 on a 9.5 rim seems too small for me. I have 235/45 on my 8in rims and when I get my 33 GTR rims (9in) I will be looking for 255 or 265 - whatever is most price effective.

[SMOKEYV35]

i had 225's on a 10

at the end of the day, if you're not prepared to live with the compromise, just cut your losses and try again.

they are hawt rims, but if you're going to have to molest your gaurds, run excessive camber that chews your tyres up, and leave your lip heavily exposed to gutters and stone chips (trust me this happens, the rear lips catch all the stones that fling off the front tyres and it puts pits all over the lip) - then i'd sell.

if it were a drifted out s13 i'd just say 'bash away and make the car fit the wheels', but it's a bit different with a nice late model car......

[bbenny]

Hey Petrodolo

I find it hard to beleive they are sticking out so far - is that with the car on a hoist?

Here is Spoolin's car front and rear pics with 19 x 9.5 +35 all round with 245 tyres. The car has been lowered about 1.5-2"

Yours would be exactly 5mm further out the guards - as you can see it would still fit perfectly. Unless they are 10" wide as your boxes suggested...

[bbenny]

Dont sell them!! drop your car and they will be perfect! when I jack my car up, mine look like they would never tuck in, but they do easily.

[richzx]

They will fit I have had 9.5 +38 on mine front and rear and thought the backs could go even wider. You either need to lower it and that will fix the problem, OR, the offsets are not what you were quoted. Are the offsets stamped into the rim or are the stickers on there saying what the offset is? I can only say I promise they will fit if they are 9.5 + 30. If not I offer $500. :-)

j/k

they definately dont sit like as above where benny mentioned add another inch at least doesnt even come close to that first shot under weight of the car. and im not keen for mad camber on $2k worth of tyres. does look like i should be checking it under lowered suspension though.

they are definately stamped 9.5 all of them. ive checked this multiple times.
