Not sure, but if you find somewhere that has a few sets let me know.

I too am thinking in time of upgrading to the ARX Stockies, I like the style the 17" is just a tad too small.

One question for anyone who can answer, who would the ARX 18's go with the Nismo S-Tune suspension?? I'm sitting pretty damn low and don't know how clearance would be but with low profile tyres, it shouldn't be a concern?

Well My Nismo LMX5's are the same size as the ARX wheels I believe (18x7.5).

I have 235/40/18 tyres and there is a sh*t load of space (stock suspension).

My mate has the Nismo suspension with Work 18x8 wheels & 245/45/18 tyres which is a bit larger than the ARX rims.

Here is a couple of pictures of how his sits

I don't think you will have a problem.

ooh nice brakes :)

Regarding wheels I have just fitted a set of 19 x 8.5 rims to my Series 2 C34. Standard rims were 17 x 7. My car is lowered on Greddy Coilovers and I have no issues with rubbing, the overall wheel height is virtually identical e.g. I went from a 215 50 17 to a 235 35 19 so no issues there. I believe a 245 45 18 would also give you an equivalent overall height.

I think you will also find that all Stageas have more than enough room under the guards for 8 - 9 inch rim depending on offset. I am running a +20 offset as I wanted to bring the wheels out to sit close to the guards but anything in a +30 offset should work on your car I would have thought.

definitely go for 18 or 19 inch rims Stags are big cars with big guards and they need filling.

thats my 2c worth, hope that helps.

do any1 know where i can find stock ARX wheels for M35 ??

or does any M35 ARX owners wana part with their stockies??

I can get my hands on V35 Skyline 2 Door Premium wheels if you want them?

Your other option is to give Ben at Northside Presitge in Sydney a ring....I think he has a spare set.

    • Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?
    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though
