richzx Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 But is the offset stamped into them as well and it's definitely +30??? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/339632-95-nismo-rims-wont-go-on-the-m35/page/2/#findComment-5486070 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetroDola Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) this is how they looked initially without tyre or set down on suspension.. we thought theyd pull in .. they barely pulled in half an inch though. not giving up yet though.. ill attempt again after coil overs. definately +30 http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll166/K...ag/IMG_0212.jpg Edited October 8, 2010 by PetroDola Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/339632-95-nismo-rims-wont-go-on-the-m35/page/2/#findComment-5486087 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine looks exactly the same.Just put some tyres on and set this thing on the ground.... called another mate.. who said they probably lied about testing the tyre because if its new rims you fit the tyre you pay for the tyre..(as i only saw the rim and not the tyre on the rim.. they called me and said no go) and that he works at another beaurepairs so they always test the rims prior if its them selling the rims. .. he is going to use an old 19" tyre to test fit it tomorrow and actually drop it on its weight. then play with some camber settings. ... could be on a winner!

JayM35 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Stretch tires fixes all. I'm running a 9.5 with +15, rim sticks out a mile, but with a 235/45 its legal begal, and good stance.

GoldZilla Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 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. I'm the same, I hate stretched tyres too. I've got 245s on my 8" wheels (but that's on a C34). In my opinion it looks tougher, and it helps that there's less chance of rubbing the wheel on a gutter or something too. called another mate.. who said they probably lied about testing the tyre because if its new rims you fit the tyre you pay for the tyre..(as i only saw the rim and not the tyre on the rim.. they called me and said no go) and that he works at another beaurepairs so they always test the rims prior if its them selling the rims. .. he is going to use an old 19" tyre to test fit it tomorrow and actually drop it on its weight. then play with some camber settings. ... could be on a winner! What suspension do M35's have on them? If it's double-wishbones f+r, then I'm *pretty sure* that as soon as you put some weight on them the suspension should tuck up and in by way of how the geometry works, right???

SABBAi Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 That is how mine was with the car in the air. The tyre shop wouldn't fit them. Took them home and fitted them up and drove back there for a wheel alignement. They couldn't beleive it!

horrace Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) +1 for it's gonna be fine, that pic is hardly any poke at all it will tuck for sure, where is mike and pics of his vskf test fits I know it's a c34 but it would give you an idea.

matty_M35 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 i have a few things i would rather not say about beaurepairs (that is where you car went wasnt it??).. but thats just from a few of my experiences with them... what the hell i will say one thing.. i drop my car off for a wheel alignment (17" rim corolla, no camber bolts perfect fit without guard rolling for my simmons) they ring me saying the camber is all out of whack i say how can it be?? i go down there and my front left looks like this \\ and the right like this \\ im like wtf did you do?? they said you gotta buy a set of camber bolts to straighten it up!! i said show me where, i looked and told them to get the bolts they had aready installed and never touch my car again,,, rip off F%%ks trying to sell me a set after installing them already at wrong settings to make my car look crazy with positive on one side and neg on the other... Anyway back on topic.. I reckon it would fit only because with my car lowered even though i only have standard 17's there is bucketloads of width available, but yes when you raise it this disapears, and yes im pretty sure they have double wishbone F+R i was looking when doing my brake discs, Very GRAND TOURING!! MAKE EM FIT i want 9.5 wide too your my guinea pig!!

MAKE EM FIT i want 9.5 wide too your my guinea pig!! hehe im going to make em fit.. the thing is i shouldve gone to the dudes i knew rather than the dudes who were closest as they were willing to do what i requested and took my word that theyll fit. took it in this morning to my mates who test fitted a spare 19x40 and it fit awesome.. front gaurd was a bit off .. and rear was still a bit off but i reckon with coil overs or new springs to match my new front dampers and new rear springs i reckon i could get it to tuck under quite nicely without a huge amount of camber. photos to come.
