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.

    • Would this not be the same for the exhaust you've posted up?  If your exhaust volume and emissions are fine, why does the brand of pipe matter? 
    • The issue is more the fact that there is inspectors that deal with japanese cars a lot and they might know what a real Mines pipe looks like. And then they're gonna get antsy and not pass your car. But I'd have to talk to one of them about this, because you know as well as me that it's just a damn pipe and it effectively doesn't do anything. As I need to have my GT2860s and my exhaust setup (and the increase in HP) TÜV'd anyways maybe they can just correct the entry in the papers or assign a badge to the front pipe. I'm no expert either though, will inquire about this.     Thanks for the insight. Not sure if having a custom made pipe is good or not. Will find out in due time I suppose. Would be kind of funny if this was made in Germany though.
    • See this is a really tricky topic as technically the same rules apply to all cars but for cars but there is a difference. If you want to modify a car like the Skyline which never existed here you have a bit more freedom as they do not adhere to EU specs anyway. Any modification you do has to be in dividually checked anyway so as long as one of the inspectors think it's ok and within the TÜV ruleset you can get stuff like a top secret rear diffuser put in your papers. Which frankly would need a shitload of tests and certificates for EU spec cars, like a 2010 BMW M3 for example. But if you DO run these tests and all tests come out ok (safety stuff for the most part) there is no problem running such a part legally. It's just way too expensive to do for a single person on one car. The most touchy parts are emissions related mods, like an exhaust, turbos, air intakes. If it makes noise or alters the carbon emissions it's essentially illegal until you prove it's not. Meaning it doesn't exceed noise limits or have worse carbon emissions. I'd say for hoses if you replace them same same it doesn't matter what material they are or what brand you use. Same for nuts and bolts usually, they won't go and specifically check that your water hoses and some bolts are 100% OEM parts, that is nonsense.
    • What I don't understand here is that it mentions using a sealant. So either way you're ruining the inside of the tire and making a huge mess to clean up. Why not just do that, air it back up to spec, then take it all off and put it back in the car? Also, why not just include a plug kit that's not garbage?
    • What a f**king weener. I have worked in Gary, IN. At the time there were more gun deaths each night there than almost anywhere else in the world. Still not a reason to be afraid. 95% of people from your part of the world only have 3 teeth left from when you were addicted to meth, and now you're perpetually wrecked by Fentanyl. The only saving grace is that most of you didn't vote for Trumpler. Speaking of which, I'm off to the oval office right now. Got to relieve my bowels.
