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.

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!

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!

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 .

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.

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

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.
