Hey guys,

I'm currently looking for some new wheels for my 2001 V35 Sedan, I have read that the offsets to fit it are as such - 8.5 + 30 front (around this) and 9.5 + 35-40 for the rear, I was wondering how far out of these i can go because these offsets limit my options hugely.

Cheers for your help.

Do a search through the M35 stagea section- I believe that sedans and M35s are about the same offset from factory/wheel arch measurements.

I'm running 8.5 +22 with nil issues- have seen 9.5 +20

You don't have to run square like we do, because of AWD. So you could go staggered.

You can go as crazy as you want- just have to get appropriate levels of low, and camber to suit. All depends on how low the car is.

click on my signature below if you want examples of wheels and offsets I have used before. One thing to remember if you are lowered and I assume you are, then there are slightly more options available to you. The lower you go, the smaller the offset you can run on your sedan. Please note, sedan and coupe offsets are completely different so don't even start comparing with coupes.

Secondly, The example above from G35 driver is probably one of the many extreme examples (slammed, rolled guards, stretched rubber and excessive camber).

I am currently running 8.5 +25 fronts and 9.5 +30 rears mildly lowered approx 30mm on Z suspension. The fronts are perfect while the rears are sticking out the guards by approx 5-10mm due to running 275s. If I lower it a bit more and run 255s it would tuck in nicely.

Below chart should assist you. It is assuming you are riding on stock suspension, so if you are lowered you can push the maximums out a bit further towards the guard but more importantly if you are going with wider wheels and the wrong offset, you may also start hitting your struts.

To be honest I don't know if shes lowered because i haven't checked (do you know stock height?), and thank you so much this chart helps alot hopefully ill figure this out tonight so i can get them on the way (i need new tyres and i want my new rims first)

if you have a look at the outside fender line (front & rear) it should give you a good idea of how they will be within the guards.

mine are actually +33 and + 38 but with the right setup and use of adjustable arms, anything really should fit.

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
