Stagea Humans,

Just wondering if anyone is running 20s on their M35 and what specs they are? Looking at some 20x10s in a +38 which should theoretically fit, but would like to know what others have. Pretty handy with the old guard roller after all these years so a little bit of massaging is no issue.

Many Thanks im Advance,

Jeff

Yes I agree with Alex I think you will have issues on the inside not the outside, I have 19*9.5 +35 and there is very little room to the suspension I have around 3mm to the strut.

I only put them on Thursday and nothing as yet. I think a few others have run the same spec with no issue. When I think about it there must be more room because I tried on and drove with some 19*9.5 +38 as well. I will double check. I also have the Bilstein suspension in mine if it makes a difference?

Wheels look ok but you need more offset or some spacers!

The killer is the Over Fenders.

The steelwork underneath is the same as the RS/RX, but the guards protrude out another 15 or 20mm, so you can't push the offsets too far unless you start cutting metal or going bananas with guard rolling.

Also, I think they need some more sidewall; the guards just swallow the wheels up with super low profile.

Question for yah. If I run 19 x 8.5 I'm gay aye? Pity I cannot fit wider because I'd be hardcore like you then! IMO on the m35 if its white its gay!

Pfft. My 18x8 white rims look awesome! Could do with a fraction more sidewall though...

Anything under 8.5" wide is not even a worthy upgrade IMO.

And if your into handling, make sure your 20's are not Tempe tyres/ taleb tyres / ozzy tyres specials.

Stuff I could cast a better circle in my daughters sand pit!

Better have bucket of lead to balance the suckers to.

Really a well made 19" is the performance limit.

Anything over your adding to much Unsprung weight and tyres will cost you a heap.

Just my 3 cents

My 2c

First, the one car i have seen with 19x10+ wheels looked horrible. To add, it was also dangerous.

Second, people think buying wide rims and putting Ling Long tyres on them makes them a handling God. I'll take 30mm smaller, quality tyres over china spec any day.

And Christian, maybe you should check out what fits before offering advice. Not many of us are StanceNation orientated.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
