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

    • 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       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
