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

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • 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
