I really like the factory rims. Its just a pity their offset aint enough to fill the guard.

Anyone ever done this? is it feasible? where to get the spacers?

No; most people replace the rims, yes, try just jap. Spacers are not my favourites tho'

I have seen an M35 with stock rims spaced out and it looks way better. But like Dale, Im not so confident about them.

You need some pretty big spacers for those skinny rims, so it will be bolt on spacers with studs to get them out enough.

I know you like them, but you really should look at some wheels with proper widths / offsets. They don't have to be as expensive as you might think.

I think spacers are a temp solution. That being said, I bet there are heaps of SAU people who run them for ages, and haven't had a problem. I think you want "hub centric"? is that right? The otherones are cheap and nasty and will make your wheels fall off your car... promise. :(

IMO these are the best there is, i ran 15mm to widen the front track on the stag before i got stronger offset wheels.

Hub centric rings center the wheel properly and prevent speed wobble. :(

i guess its not ideal.. though i like to keep the car as close to original as possible. i spose best option is to keep an eye out for some ARX 18"s.

Though they wont be cheap. And i hate forking out for 18" rubber. :)

id love to reply to it, but i either cant find the PM section, or its been disabled for me.

anyway can you send the message over at M35stagea.info please? or just email me zei20t at gmail.com

cheers!

    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
    • Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.
