Im sure 18 x 9.5 with some decent offset, camber coilovers and fender love would suit nicely.

20" tyres are not in the world of performance.

19's are too pricey to be chewing through on the track all the time. Thus 18's appear to be the more optimal cost effective choice.

Ohhhh I get it.

Your in the wrong section Christian. All the flatcappers and hard Parker's are in the v35 section or on the Silvia forums!

Are you planning to track your car? If so sort out the chassis and suspension before buying wheels. You might just find that you'll be joining the rest of us homo's in wheels width.

If I was to stay on my standard 18's I'd be heading to the track with 235/55/18's. I'm pretty sure the 245/45/19's that I run on are a better decision....and they were only $195 each....good brand too! I might also add that I already scrub the outside tyre and I have a +38 offset. So 10" ain't going to work.

Since most of us on 18's run 245/45's, how far out is your speedo with same width & profile on the 19's?

Look at me starting the flame war. My Stagea is purely street grocery getter, I have other cars to take to the track. The car is already on its ring on Teins. Will be doing sway bars and decent brakes eventually. As for the performance/visual aspect I would err on the side of visuals for the M35, I'm not Hella Sik generally though.

I test fitted the 19x10 +38s with 255/35s off the back of my IS-F yesterday. The rears are perfect with no fouling, the fronts are a bit Hella for my liking though, and they rub the suspension upright. Nothing a slip on spacer wouldn't cure but they are already marginal.

255/35's on 10's......will ride awesome on bumpy roads.

........ :(

I think it's time to sell the Black Cow!

Three flatcapper's in the last couple of day's can only mean one thing! They have found us!

Times were good while they lasted.

Function over form etc etc.. Hellaflush..there will always be a debate. I'm saying kids these days and I'm only 22 :-P

They can stick to the maccas car park. 19's for me and 245/45 faulkens.. Perfect for track and road..gotta fill those arx guards some how

Craig, 255's on 10's is okay (265 would be better IMO), but remember that Nismo put 245's on their 9.5" rims...

Also, 35's wouldn't be that bad. Mine came with 35 sidewalls and are... adequate. That said, can't wait to put 40's on (have 19x9's currently)

Really!

It could be argued that even 19s are form over function, unless you need them to go over your 380mm Alcons. To each their own.

I'd agree.....but if your trying to get down to a decent sports profile and your starting rolling diameter was 55/18's what do you do? 35/20's?

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
