I just want to do it right the first time...

The stagea you bought is a AWd RS4 right??

You will have big issues if you run those tyres. Need to be the same rolling diameter front to rear.

No I wont, it's no longer run in AWD :thumbsup: I'll keep the wheels that came with the car for when I want to run it in AWD though.

Does anyone know if I'm going to have to roll my guards if I put 18 x 9 +15 rims on my M35?

I dont know if you can roll them, the fronts are already folded. You had better go to someone that rolls them, with the rims, and see what they say. Mine are 17x9 +30 and they stick out so you should be looking at around 15mm more? Perhaps you can just stretch the tyres?

hmmm

about to order tyres...

I think I'll stick with 245/45/18...

but according to this site:

235/45/18 is a direct match rolling diameter wise?

That's what I run on mine; I reckon a much better fit in the wheelarches, spot on for 9" width, and only 3% out on the speedo.

Packed full of win!

Nah, I'm running 245/45/18's on 18x8's; looks tops :thumbsup:

BACK TO THIS

do any of you know what would be the best offset to run 19x9s on the nnm35 stagea

or maybe scottu could answer this is 19x9 to big for the stag

would you rather go 18x9 ?

    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
