Stagea Humans,

Just wondering if anyone is running 20s on their M35 and what specs they are? Looking at some 20x10s in a +38 which should theoretically fit, but would like to know what others have. Pretty handy with the old guard roller after all these years so a little bit of massaging is no issue.

Many Thanks im Advance,

Jeff

Yes I agree with Alex I think you will have issues on the inside not the outside, I have 19*9.5 +35 and there is very little room to the suspension I have around 3mm to the strut.

I only put them on Thursday and nothing as yet. I think a few others have run the same spec with no issue. When I think about it there must be more room because I tried on and drove with some 19*9.5 +38 as well. I will double check. I also have the Bilstein suspension in mine if it makes a difference?

Wheels look ok but you need more offset or some spacers!

The killer is the Over Fenders.

The steelwork underneath is the same as the RS/RX, but the guards protrude out another 15 or 20mm, so you can't push the offsets too far unless you start cutting metal or going bananas with guard rolling.

Also, I think they need some more sidewall; the guards just swallow the wheels up with super low profile.

Question for yah. If I run 19 x 8.5 I'm gay aye? Pity I cannot fit wider because I'd be hardcore like you then! IMO on the m35 if its white its gay!

Pfft. My 18x8 white rims look awesome! Could do with a fraction more sidewall though...

Anything under 8.5" wide is not even a worthy upgrade IMO.

And if your into handling, make sure your 20's are not Tempe tyres/ taleb tyres / ozzy tyres specials.

Stuff I could cast a better circle in my daughters sand pit!

Better have bucket of lead to balance the suckers to.

Really a well made 19" is the performance limit.

Anything over your adding to much Unsprung weight and tyres will cost you a heap.

Just my 3 cents

My 2c

First, the one car i have seen with 19x10+ wheels looked horrible. To add, it was also dangerous.

Second, people think buying wide rims and putting Ling Long tyres on them makes them a handling God. I'll take 30mm smaller, quality tyres over china spec any day.

And Christian, maybe you should check out what fits before offering advice. Not many of us are StanceNation orientated.

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
