I just tried some rims last night on mine with factory suspension and these were the results.

19x8.5 + 33 front was flush with guard, 19x9.5 +24 rear stuck out about 10mm.

Wheels are Volk GT-V's

And 19's still look small on these cars.

So for minimal work to fit on a stock car (ride height, camber and guards) 9.5 +35 would be a pretty safe bet imo.

Even with minimal lowering; the 19x9.5 +24 would be essentially flush with the guards, It makes a huge difference.

19's don't necessarily look small; but if you get the sidewall height wrong; the guards will swallow up even 20's and make them look tiny.

Have you thought about increasing the rolling diameter, and going up in aspect ratio to fill the guards?

The speedo reads miles under anyway (around 10%), the extra rolling diameter doesn't blunt performance by much, and you'll vastly improve ride in the process.

Just a thought.

Wheels look great!

Think the tyres pictured are only 235/35 so they are way too small. Not my wheels - just tried and tested as they had too much damage for my liking.

Personally I would have liked to go to a 245/45 which is a little larger rolling diameter than stock by 3.39% (245/40 is same as factory).

I use www.willtheyfit.com by the way to work this out.

Personally I don't want to lower the car as it's nice to drive places without having to worry about front bumper and exhaust etc scraping on everything.

My S14 is my lowered car

Hope this info is helpful to others out there anyway.

@tony200 that's actually a big help,I'm in the process of buying wheels at the moment .

I have been searching through these forums and the net but a lot of conflicting offsets,it's nice to see some top down pics.looks like 19x9.5+22 is perfect for stock bodied m35 on the front ,looks like the rear should be +35,but what about axis and arx?

I have an axis and some say 19x9.5+22 is perfect on the front but it's not if I want the look the front of yours has in that pic .

Also the rears some are running 10.5 wide with stock springs and don't scrub while others say they scrub.

If someone has an axis or arx could I please get some top down picks of flush offsets please.

Should be fine depending on tyres. What's your budget?

Not a lot, only looking second hand.
Currently got the stock 17x7 rims which are nice, but they just don't fill out the guards and look too narrow from behind especially on the rear.
I would consider getting slightly lower springs, which might help the look too

its a bit hard to find offsets which suit our larger Nissans, but theres always something on Yahoo Auctions.

heres a handy cheat sheet for searching Yahoo http://www.mlracing.co.nz/yahoocheatsheet

with 5mins of searching found these, might not be what you're after but there are bargains out there

    • 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.
