M35 Stagea Lowering

[Sunkist]

as Bob says, wouldnt risk it, especially if it means having to buy another set of wheels

Ok ordering wheels tommorow. decided on 18 8s 38 offset . not to wild in offset but safe for gutter bashing wifes. any thoughts before i order. and im thinking 235 40 18 for tires commo size .

I would go an 8.5+30, this keeps it inside the guards but fills them enough so it still looks really nice.

car is stock height . she wont let me lower it. the rear of my car is flush with outside of qtr panel with a 350z rim on it 8 and 30 offset. and a 8.5 will be 6 mm further out at 30 offset. i no the rear wheel tucks 18 mm 2 inches lowered. but at stock height i think she will gutter them.

Did you get the BCs though? And she still won't let you lower it?

How about you just adjust it down anyway... she probably won't even be able to tell!

By the sounds I don't think it will matter if the rims are 20mm in or out, it sounds like she will just gutter them anyway. So get what your happy with!!!

My M35 has R32 GTR rims on it until the new rims arrive, so 8+30 and before I lowered it they sat inside the guard about 10mm front and back.

If you're selling them when the new ones come let me know. Set of off road tyres might be useful for the occasional rally, just not sure I want the stone chips!

thanks for the info guys . my meet you half way with the offset ill get 34p . the rear look of the car is so weird the stock wheels look so far in with the ballon side wall . but when you measure the stock height clearence ive got 20 mm rim to lip. thats why i was thinkin 8 38 offset which is 20mm out

Yeah they will be up for sale as soon as the new rims arrive. I do love R32 GTR rims though, forged and light weight, what more is there to say!

You'd be better off with a 245/45/18 tyres for both appearance and ride comfort.

I had 235/40/18 on my Nismo's and it all looked too small in those massive wheel arches we have.

My mate's M35 had 245/45 on his Works 18's which looked much more in proportion.

Side note, we both have Nismo S-tune suspension.

this.

i have 235 40 on mine and thats 19x 8.5. it only just fills the guards out.

+11ty.

I'm running 245/45/18 on 18x8" +30 ; fill the guards perfectly, and reduced speedo error to 2ish percent.
