I'm looking at buying a set of WORKS S1 rims 19" x 12.5 for the M35. What offset do they need to be and are they fine for a brake upgrade? Also is there a straight fit DBA slotted rotor swap available.

Sorry to ask once again but the brake section is out of control.

Cheers.

19x12.5? :D Any offset you like, not going to fit under the guards anyway...

The widest confirmed (non ridiculous) fitment in a 19" is around 9.5" wide, at +35 offset. No guard rolling or clearance issues.

Brake discs are 350z touring (non brembo). RDA's are probably better value for money, approx $350 front slotted, $250 rear slotted, retail. You should be able to go ceaper than that if you look around.

Ok. I only stated that rim size because the site said that's the size available in the 19" riim so I guess those aren't gonna fit.

I probably should have just asked what the M35 standard off set was.

Cheers for the reply.

+40... I think...? Anyone confirm?

I think Keir prob has about the biggest I know :D - 19x9.5 +30's

Stock 17x7" is +45, ARX 18x8" is +40. In an 8" they need at least +30 offset, even +25 offset would go fine without clearance issues.

Just need to allow for caliper clearance for further down the track if you're going to upgrade.

My bad, I thought his were +35 :) .

yup you made me think about it also.. +30 offset for mine on 9.5's x 19

with about a fingers clearance from the strut tower. no scrub on 245s all round either (at full lock which is cool) but the front if i bottom out hard enough will hit the gaurds so they'll probably need a slight roll (they just sit out by about 5mm)

not that its ever bottomed out yet.. just a concern on tyres worth more than my r33. :)

Oh, and just incase you haven't found it yet, everyone is pretty much in consensus that you can't run staggered wheels, because it screws with the AWD system.

(sneaky little point, since your a series 2 M35, you can pull the fuse, make it RWD, and run staggered rims, but only in RWD mode...)

Does the axis have flared guards or is that just body kit to make them look like they are flared. I'm talking about the AWD series 2 model, similar guards to the AR-X.

you can pull a plug on the series 1 too.. have had it done for over 8 months now.. so much better to drive with stock power..

i run 18x10+20 on my m35 at the moment. the front only slightly stick out the guards. but it does need to be a little lower.. the rears is only a touch out of guards and look fine..

this is a non arx m35..

i can get good prices for rda and dba brake rotors.. i havent priced up the dbas yet however but my friend moves alot thru his store and gets good prices.

Interesting angus..

Im sure i read in another thread somewhere that it was possible with series 1 m35's for the fuse trick but it ended up having a detrimental effect on the attessa and the hicas on arx's eventually regardless? or something? anyone verify that ?

Excellent, I will be calling on you come time to get the brakes done.

Still might go for 18's as it may be a safer option once the car has two kids, wife and dog plus luggage in the back.

Not really interested in the Staggered Rims and AWD. Maybe if I had bought the Axis S. ;):bunny:

Interesting to note:

Axis Autech runs a 225/45/18 tyre which gives an approximate rolling diameter of 660mm (assuming no weight on the tyre though)

I've been told you can run a commodore tyre which is 235/40/R18 (which should be cheaper) but the dia is smaller at 654mm

Anyone know what an RS Four runs from factory?

Is it a 215/55/17? (giving a diameter of 668mm)

215/55/17 is correct.

On my 18s I run 245/45/18, this takes the factory 9% speedo error to about 3%, fills the guards a bit better, and rides better than 225/45/18. It's also std rubber for VE commodore 18's, so well priced too.

Hmmm. Interesting. Got any photos Dale?

245 is a wide tyre! (well for me anyway)

On about pg 34-36 of the "What have you done to your Stagea" thread, or I'll put some up tomorrow for you.

Rubber sits basically flush with the rim edge. I reckon your AXIS rims would look tough then, mine do.

So I guess these aren't gonna fit either.

Bummer. I know it's an M35 but I just like the look of a race wheel.

Agreed, they are a beautiful wheel, especially in that width/offset. You'd be doing some pretty serious guard pulling to get them under, and I'd say you'd need to stretch a 245 or something to make it work.

Probably better to keep looking for a less aggressive offset...

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
