please clarify

i have been told from numerouse mag wheel dealers that 9.5 on the stagea is to wide and will creat issues

i am looking at dropping my m35 on some BC BR coilovers and running big break kits witch mean ill be running 19 inch mags

so what size width mags can i get with 19s? that i can use on the stagea that wont rub 8.5s or 9s

if i get a spacer does that mean i can go wider ?

with offset does a - or a + offset mean a bigger dish etc

or do u guys recomend 18s for the stagea

Most Aussie tyre shops only sell +40 as that's all they can get. Speedy, ROH and such all do crap offsets.

They're starting to get better as more Falcoon & Crummydore owners buy staggered sets for their bombs, and they're getting a bit more savvy to offset & caliper clearance too.

I tried some 19*9.5 +38 on mine with 245/35/19 tyres and they fit perfectly and could even have gone wider on the rear i.e. lower offset.

Do you have any pics? Was there any suspension work done to it? Any rubbing on full lock?

I've mentioned on another thread that I've found some 19x8x5+35 or 19x9.5+40 from Avant Garde (Model M368) that would suit the M35 really nicely.

^ Agree.

I think that with the Nismo suspension I could fit 19x9.5 with a +35 offset and have 3mm clearance. Not enough for my liking.

Having said that, I just picked up a set of Buddy Club P1 Racing 2's which are 19x9 with a +45. Not ideal so will have to probably run 10mm spacers although I don't know how they will sit with the Autech suspension.

If all else fails, they came with 30mm spacers :P

No pics sorry I didn't end up buying them. They were Buddy Club P1's or something. I can't remember how much clearance but it wasn't much and they never scraped anywhere when I drove on them. I have factory bilstein suspension and my car is quite low which would have helped as well. Still, I would have bought them if they were in better condition as I didn't think the clearance was an issue but maybe the bilstein stuff is different to the Nismo or other factory suspension, I don't know.

Now that I have nisom suspension im looking at wheels. what would these offsets be like

Fronts - 19x8.5 +25

Rears - 19x9.5 +35?? Kinda new to the size and offset thing.

Will you be running in RWD only? Staggered sizes won't work with AWD.

I reckon the 19x8.5 + 25 would be better for piece of mind regarding possible clearance issues.

The 19x9.5's were a +40 with a 5mm spacer. They fit and cleared the suspension, but not by much.

No spacers needed with this size?

Running 18x9+20 with 235/40/18

Car stits 345mm from centre of wheel to top of wheel arch ,

On bc coilovers

No rubbing at all , no guard rolling needed

Just thought I would share for anyone in the near future

What's your camber settings?

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
