these are actually 20".. but yes I def need larger tyres! I'm not too happy about the offset on these either... need some new 19" forgies yummmmmmmm.

my original aim with these wheels was to complement the car so they didnt stand out too much.. i guess it worked! lol

what is the rim size and offset .................20X8.5" +30????

I'll be joing the wheels club tomorrow. Picking up 4 big packages that have made their way from Japan! Won't have time to fit them up, so it'll have to wait a few weeks >_<black_lrg.jpg

19's SSR type F

HAWT!

what is the rim size and offset .................20X8.5" +30????

to be honest I'm not really sure what the offset of these rims is, or the actual rim width either. I do know that the tyre is 225 though lol.

it was basically a off the shelf purchase, didnt put much thought into it as I just wanted a nice set of rims rather than the gutter bashed stockies. in hindsight I should have researched ideal offset, width, dia with a decent tyre and talked to import monster for a nice set, but instead I got talked into something that probably wasn't selling so well with a set of tyres that were the cheapest of the lot. I didnt think this car would grow on me so much..

Hi guy's,

After doing a recent motor change we found an inherent problem with the M35's front lower control arm bush on both sides....seems they start to fall apart at about 100,000km's.

Now I thought to myself after talking to someone else that it may not be every car so I decided to check mine as I had noticed it's starting to track worse and worse....and I also have that f#$king vibration when powering to the left that nobody has been able to find. Sure enough and although hard to see that had fallen apart....I had to remove the arm to check it properly as it didn't appear to be broken when it was up there.

Anyway enough drivel......I have sourced polythene ones which I will put on in the next week or so and I'll check to see if it turns the drive of the car too firm. Once I have done that I have spoken to the suspension place I am getting to do it about setting up an exchange set and doing the install if needed. For those of you in Vic I will be talking to Scott about doing the install and exchange set's and dealing direct with the suspension place.

Please note that you will need a wheel alignment after doing this.

Anyway I am hoping to set up the exchange set to be about $250-$300.......you will have to go through Scott or myself to do this unless you want to put down a returnable deposit to insure we get our arms back.

I am not sure about the price of the install but I would be thinking it would be around $500 at the most including the wheel alignment at my suspension place.

any thoughts guys.

its a great idea, and after seeing those bushes stay in the car when the arms were in my hand, its a little scary.

im guessing the same thing has happened to my car.

i actually wouldnt mind going ALL poly bushes, front and rear.

    • Do you think the guys in Penrith are install the E85 Kit?
    • Thanks Pac!   I will reach out to them!
    • Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
