Hey guys,

I'm currently looking for some new wheels for my 2001 V35 Sedan, I have read that the offsets to fit it are as such - 8.5 + 30 front (around this) and 9.5 + 35-40 for the rear, I was wondering how far out of these i can go because these offsets limit my options hugely.

Cheers for your help.

Do a search through the M35 stagea section- I believe that sedans and M35s are about the same offset from factory/wheel arch measurements.

I'm running 8.5 +22 with nil issues- have seen 9.5 +20

You don't have to run square like we do, because of AWD. So you could go staggered.

You can go as crazy as you want- just have to get appropriate levels of low, and camber to suit. All depends on how low the car is.

click on my signature below if you want examples of wheels and offsets I have used before. One thing to remember if you are lowered and I assume you are, then there are slightly more options available to you. The lower you go, the smaller the offset you can run on your sedan. Please note, sedan and coupe offsets are completely different so don't even start comparing with coupes.

Secondly, The example above from G35 driver is probably one of the many extreme examples (slammed, rolled guards, stretched rubber and excessive camber).

I am currently running 8.5 +25 fronts and 9.5 +30 rears mildly lowered approx 30mm on Z suspension. The fronts are perfect while the rears are sticking out the guards by approx 5-10mm due to running 275s. If I lower it a bit more and run 255s it would tuck in nicely.

Below chart should assist you. It is assuming you are riding on stock suspension, so if you are lowered you can push the maximums out a bit further towards the guard but more importantly if you are going with wider wheels and the wrong offset, you may also start hitting your struts.

To be honest I don't know if shes lowered because i haven't checked (do you know stock height?), and thank you so much this chart helps alot hopefully ill figure this out tonight so i can get them on the way (i need new tyres and i want my new rims first)

if you have a look at the outside fender line (front & rear) it should give you a good idea of how they will be within the guards.

mine are actually +33 and + 38 but with the right setup and use of adjustable arms, anything really should fit.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
