please clarify

i have been told from numerouse mag wheel dealers that 9.5 on the stagea is to wide and will creat issues

i am looking at dropping my m35 on some BC BR coilovers and running big break kits witch mean ill be running 19 inch mags

so what size width mags can i get with 19s? that i can use on the stagea that wont rub 8.5s or 9s

if i get a spacer does that mean i can go wider ?

with offset does a - or a + offset mean a bigger dish etc

or do u guys recomend 18s for the stagea

Most Aussie tyre shops only sell +40 as that's all they can get. Speedy, ROH and such all do crap offsets.

They're starting to get better as more Falcoon & Crummydore owners buy staggered sets for their bombs, and they're getting a bit more savvy to offset & caliper clearance too.

I tried some 19*9.5 +38 on mine with 245/35/19 tyres and they fit perfectly and could even have gone wider on the rear i.e. lower offset.

Do you have any pics? Was there any suspension work done to it? Any rubbing on full lock?

I've mentioned on another thread that I've found some 19x8x5+35 or 19x9.5+40 from Avant Garde (Model M368) that would suit the M35 really nicely.

^ Agree.

I think that with the Nismo suspension I could fit 19x9.5 with a +35 offset and have 3mm clearance. Not enough for my liking.

Having said that, I just picked up a set of Buddy Club P1 Racing 2's which are 19x9 with a +45. Not ideal so will have to probably run 10mm spacers although I don't know how they will sit with the Autech suspension.

If all else fails, they came with 30mm spacers :P

No pics sorry I didn't end up buying them. They were Buddy Club P1's or something. I can't remember how much clearance but it wasn't much and they never scraped anywhere when I drove on them. I have factory bilstein suspension and my car is quite low which would have helped as well. Still, I would have bought them if they were in better condition as I didn't think the clearance was an issue but maybe the bilstein stuff is different to the Nismo or other factory suspension, I don't know.

Now that I have nisom suspension im looking at wheels. what would these offsets be like

Fronts - 19x8.5 +25

Rears - 19x9.5 +35?? Kinda new to the size and offset thing.

Will you be running in RWD only? Staggered sizes won't work with AWD.

I reckon the 19x8.5 + 25 would be better for piece of mind regarding possible clearance issues.

The 19x9.5's were a +40 with a 5mm spacer. They fit and cleared the suspension, but not by much.

No spacers needed with this size?

Wouldn't think so. The 19x8.5 +25 will give you 22mm more clearance between the rim and suspension than the 19.9.5 +40 with 5mm spacer will, and the outer lip will only be 3mm narrower (?) than the 9.5's.

We fitted 19x9.5 +22 on spoolin's car cant remember what tyres, I think 245/40 pretty thick tyres anyway

needed to lip the rear guards. But had 19x9.5 +30 that didnt require any rolling before that.
