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

Mate that is 100% fine! im not sure why you are concerned! thats with the car on a hoist! 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! :)

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.

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???

+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.

double wishbones heh... no idea..can anyone confirm? pretty sure they do looking at the back previously.

sounds fairly logical though :)

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!!

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.

heres how it looks on the stock suspension.. if i can get an inch (someone said 25mm?) extra clearance with the coilovers or lowered springs i should be good!

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
