car is stock height . she wont let me lower it. the rear of my car is flush with outside of qtr panel with a 350z rim on it 8 and 30 offset. and a 8.5 will be 6 mm further out at 30 offset. i no the rear wheel tucks 18 mm 2 inches lowered. but at stock height i think she will gutter them.

By the sounds I don't think it will matter if the rims are 20mm in or out, it sounds like she will just gutter them anyway. So get what your happy with!!!

My M35 has R32 GTR rims on it until the new rims arrive, so 8+30 and before I lowered it they sat inside the guard about 10mm front and back.

If you're selling them when the new ones come let me know. Set of off road tyres might be useful for the occasional rally, just not sure I want the stone chips!

thanks for the info guys . my meet you half way with the offset ill get 34p . the rear look of the car is so weird the stock wheels look so far in with the ballon side wall . but when you measure the stock height clearence ive got 20 mm rim to lip. thats why i was thinkin 8 38 offset which is 20mm out

Yeah they will be up for sale as soon as the new rims arrive. I do love R32 GTR rims though, forged and light weight, what more is there to say!

Ok ordering wheels tommorow. decided on 18 8s 38 offset . not to wild in offset but safe for gutter bashing wifes. any thoughts before i order. and im thinking 235 40 18 for tires commo size .

You'd be better off with a 245/45/18 tyres for both appearance and ride comfort.

I had 235/40/18 on my Nismo's and it all looked too small in those massive wheel arches we have.

My mate's M35 had 245/45 on his Works 18's which looked much more in proportion.

Side note, we both have Nismo S-tune suspension.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
