Hey,

My friend is looking to get some wider wheels for his v35 for pretty cheap and is looking at the new mustang gt wheels. As far as I can tell the specs are:

Front: 19x8.5 +42.5 (255/40/19)

Rear: 19x9.5 +52 (275/40/19)

Centre bore: 70.3mm

Stud size: 14mm x 1.5
 

Honestly I don’t know much about wheel fitment, and I’ve tried looking through the wheel fitment thread but there’s hundreds of pages. Has anybody tried this and know if there will be any clearance issues. I don’t think the width is an issue, but not sure about the high offset of the rears.


I believe the stock wheels for the v35 are:

 

Centre bore: 66mm

Stud size: 12mm x 1.25

Can someone who knows more tell me if this is a problem? Will we just be able to use the stock Lug nuts from the v35 for the gt wheels?

Cheers

No. The only thing they have in common is the PCD at 5 X 114.3

The Mustang has a bigger centre bore which wouldn't be a problem if you can find some suitable hubcentric wheel rings but the stock Nissan studs are too small.  And the Mustang wheels are rather ugly in my opinion. 

Yea honestly I don’t love them either, but with a bunch of people selling them for around $1000 with almost new tires. Seemed like it might be a really easy way to get a thick tire setup on the v35

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
