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?

    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks 
    • I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks. 
    • Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.
