hey guys, i was deciding where to go with wheels on the m35 when it lands...

atm its got skyline wheels on it 18's

post-22208-1277013187_thumb.jpg

post up pics of what wheels you like on m35's or what wheel you HAVE put on your m35!

also, because its awd. does it mean i have to run the same rim size and width's all round?

Edited by bLaQ.bOi

Regarding width, yes. Rolling diameter seems to be very critical, not the 2-3% variation that other attessa equipped vehicles seem to allow.

If you're looking for a new home for those 18's when you find replacements, let me know, I'm after a set of those.

BTW, the car looks great, you must be busting to get your hands on it!

Cheers, Dale

yep ill definatly be selling them

if i decide to keep the car, or sell it and go after one with a sunroof like i wanted. im not sure

if i decide to keep it, it will be getting a respray asap. ill keep the colour on the low atm still trying to decide!

so need to run the same wheels. that sucks lol

anyone got any pics of thee cars with gangster meshies on them haha

vxss?

I'm sure there's a fella on here for NZ, coincidentally White with the Nismo kit, had 19x10 or 19x11 mesh of some sort, with seriously pulled wheelarches and very low. Maybe someone else can remember, his looked very tough indeed.

Yeah I reckon 19 - 20" for the M35, those arches are so big that they need some size!

To get a flush fit i used 19 x 8.5 +22 offset. these just fit under the guards without any rolling, and have plenty of clearance on the inside.

So you could definitely fit 9.5 +35 under the guards, but might be tight on the inside of the fronts. (there is loads of inside room on the rears) but I wouldnt recommend staggered on the M35

Here is how the 8.5 +22 offset fit.

That looks awesome dude! Love the wheels, that's how I'd like mine to look.

Can I ask what size your tyres are? Is that with standard ride height as well?

Cheers.

Thanks mate :rolleyes:

Tyres are 225/40 19 Which is still a bit small from what I recall, so my speedo is off by a couple of %

It is a fair bit lower than standard, I have Tanabe adj. coilovers in there, so its probable about 2" lower than standard in those pics, but it sits a little lower now as the new springs have settled in.

Here is a shot of the front height (sorry its a crap phone pic I already had) - rear is the same.

They are sweet wheels! I had them on my C34 stagea. Awesome quality and great price

Only downside with the 8.5" is they dont have the concave spokes pulling in. Make sure you get the +20 offset (they come in +35 or +20)

I reckon the 9.5" +45 with a 10mm spacer would be sweet in the ARX that way you get some more dish and pull on the spokes. They are super aggressive and should just fit!

here is a pic of the 18x8.5" on my C34

yeh I need dish.......don't really want spacers on it though....need the wheels to fit under without scrubbing at the height it is atm.....want to be able to get on the track very soon!

Who is that Axis range available through in Australia?

From what I understand there is no distributor here in Aus.

I think Tempe Tyres brought a few containers in though a while back, so maybe try them to see if they have anything left. Late last year they had a handful of 19x 9.5 +45 in stock...

Jetwreck: I fricken hate spacers as well. get the right tool for the job!

speaking of which - has your nismo ECU arrived?

And on that topic, ecu's, has anyone spoken to Toshi on here regarding a re-map, I know he does the other Nissan ecu's and he's very good.

    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works!
