What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[PN-Mad]

What'd u get?

SSR. 19x8.5 +22

the long wait begins.

[impul535w]

Has anyone fitted a 9.5 wide rim on an M35?

The exact wheel spec I was looking at is 19x9.5 +22

[scotty nm35]

I think the fronts will stick out a bit with that offset, +30 or +35 is usually recommended.

[impul535w]

I'm actually hoping they poke out a bit, just to get a nice stance. Are the rear guards wider?

Yes, and as you lower; they tuck in (negative camber) much tighter than the front. With a roll on the guard lip I'd say the rear is 15-20mm wider.

Yep, and the rears can be rolled a bit, the fronts are already rolled. Those sizes will stick out about 10-15mm I think, possibly more than 19 inch tyre stretch will help with but you wont know until you put them on. I would suggest test fitting them before you buy.

I know my 17x9 drifteks are perfect at +30 with a 255 with tyre but with 19 inch I couldn't tell you.

Do anybody make an adjustable upper arm to solve the neg camber issue?

So if they are sitting flush the +22 should look ok.

hoping some one on here has a rim somewhat like I'm looking at...

Who else has 19's and what are the size/offset you are running

Cheers.

Plenty of different stuff available for 350Z/ G35 in the US (think Ichiba,etc), but going that way will actually REDUCE the wheel to guard clearance.

Maybe shoot spoolin12 a PM, I'm sure his offsets must be close to this after the fitment of his Akebono Brake setup, due to the required spacers to clear the calipers.

I think Spoolin12 ihas 19x9.5 +40 , and is running a 12 or 15mm spacer?

Can't quite remember, but I had a chat to him about it.

PM him

Is the throttle body meant to seal completely? Mine has a visible gap

looks like it...my spare looks the same.

[horrace]

if it sealed completely i dont think it would idle lol

I wasnt too worried, given thats how it looked when it came out, just curious

for sure, no air = no go! But I thought if it was designed to be closed when turned off, then 'idle' would have the motor opening it ever so slightly - possibly the amount you see on the pictures - maybe more!

You may find that once it it being controlled by the ecu, it actually pulls closed. Most throttle bodies have an air bypass port to control idle, and the butterfly seals completely.

[Stagea_Neo]

there supposed to be slightly open .

[bbenny]

yeah spoolin has 19x9.5 +40 with a 12mm spacer so effectively a +28 offset... but they do stick out a bit - he has stretched tyres and they dont scrub.

but talk to him about tyre wear. with that width and offset you cant take out much of the camber or they will scrub the guards, so tyres wont last long.

Went a bit overboard on eBay today, picked up my slimline fan ready for the front mount intercooler, and ended up getting a Nismo dash after putting in an offer... Bit sad, but ah well!

Also picked up a Repco equivalent cabin air filter. Got the carbon one for $25.80 trade. They were out of Ryco ones and I figure this would be fine.

Going in tomorrow with the runner spacer (finally!).

Took the car for a thrash through the hills... man there are some idiot drivers up there, but makes me even more excited for the sway bars!

[Jetwreck]

I was checking out that Nismo......wont work on my car though unless I change my tyre size

Why's that? Just be out?

My stock speedo is already out around 10%, so doesn't bother me heaps. Will get it calibrated when I get new wheels.
