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

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
