Hi guys,

Looking to buy 4 x 19 inch stockies from a v35 or v36 for my 35 sedan.

Rubber is currenty running low (bought the car with Nankangs, gross) and I figured 19s would be a nice upgrade from the standard 17s.

Have any of you done something similar?

I'm located in Sydney, Liverpool area; happy to cover shipping.

Cheers

I have no idea where you drive, what the roads are like, or how long each day / week you spend in the car, but I have 19's on my FG (35 profile tyres) and the ride quality is pretty harsh. Every bump is amplified. If I was buying again I'd get 18's.

Seriously, the factory 19" rims on my V36 are just fine and comfy with 40 and 45 profile tyres.

That's a high profile for a 19in rim. I run 45 profile tyres on my 18s to get the right overall diameter. The 19s should have 35 profile tyres I believe. Unless you are running something like 205 tyres.

19s with 45 profile tyres should feel the same as 18s with 45 profile tyres anyway.

Nope. Rears are 245-40 and fronts are 225-45 - as specified by Nissan for the V36 SP. Keep in mind though, maybe the V36 SP has the good fortune of being designed with such an outer circumference and the V35s need to be a smaller outer circumference by contrast. I don't know the specs for a V35 so I guess it would have to be a lower profile and would harshen up the ride a little.

ah ok. the factory 18s on the V35 have 225/45 fronts and 245/45 rears. the stock 19s have 245/35.

The higher profile on the 19s on the V36 will make the ride about as smooth as the factory 18s on the V35.

245/40/19 is quite a big tyre. even the current commodore doesn't run a tyre that large.

Just thought I'd chime in and give major credit to AsM for being a pleasure to do business with. If he ever has anything else to sell you, what you see is what you'll definitely get without any mucking around. I'm still not sure about the rims being black - very good paintjob though! Even if I do repaint them to OEM spec, it's still going to work out cheaper than buying a new set from the dealership!

Many thanks AsM.

Bugger. The only vibration I get is when I apply the brakes at high speeds. Then again, I do drive like an arsehole. :P

You'd want to be careful though because those vibrations carry through to other hardware in the chain that will prematurely wear or fail as a result. It's not just about what's happening at your steering wheel.

Hello! I am Actually selling my 19" Stockies. They have some rash and are plasti dipped black but I started peeling them off to sell them, then quit cuz I couldnt be bothered to peel them Lol.

They have achilles tyres wrapped all around with over 70% tread I'd say. 1300 ONO for all plus shipping if anyones interested.

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
