Awd Or Rwd M35 Stagea?

[PN-Mad]

Tbh, I think these cars look better with a bit of sidewall on them.

I've got 19x8.5 and 225/40 all round. I've been holding off commenting here, because in my opinion "stance" is not a positive one...

Hi Alex,

Sorry don't know how/where I got the name from but yeah thanks for the link much appreciated.

[M35woah]

I have never seen you at the gym, who even wears pants anymore?

I don't think our setup is the same at all...

245/45/18 is spot on IMO; decent tread width, with a sidewall that has some compliance. Great for grip and comfort.

245 width on a 8.5" rim is perfect.

Heh lol. Speedos to the gym??

40 PSI in the tyres is perfect too, I had 42PSI at the start found that to be super hard.

I've been thinking of 370z 18inch rear rims all round, I think they are 9 inch wide with +15 offset the only issue I have is they have too few spokes.

Here is a quick pic of the wheel beside a friend's stock FTO wheel. It's huuuge! Sorry about the quality, I didn't have my DSLR with my at the time.

Honestly I not behind the stance crowd. IMO any degree of camber looks ridiculous. I just like it when the wheel is perfectly flush with the guard, if possible poking out a few millimeters, just enough that the wheel is visible from directly behind the car, but the tread of the tyre is still completely covered and there are no safety issues. Fitment like this is what I would like to achieve once I finally get my Stagea:

I know it has been forever; but I finally bought a PNM35! 2005 Autech Axis model, will post pics up soon

Here's a cellphone pic of my Stag... Coilovers are on the way, getting wheels and tyres sorted. Anyone have any recommendations for mods? Shift kit/strut bars etc. Car is completely factory besides exhaust.

Very nice.

Have a read of the couple of pnm35 build threads on here for an idea of what you can do!

[alexvd275]

Sweet, cheers! I'm working my way through the threads. Was pretty gutted that I could only get a RWD model, but I chose for over function and went with the nicest looking one. Going to try and figure out how to remove the monsoon guards tomorrow. Would look so much cleaner without them.

It's easy, pull out the rubber seal as the brackets sit underneath it and they're double sided taped on.

[alexvd275]

They're off Although the tape residue is proving to be a paint to get off. Tried isopropyl alochol but don't want to going to anything too harsh as it's plastic.

[M35woah]

wax and remover helps aswell. That's what I used to get mine off and a hairdryer.

Tea tree oil works quite well on tape residue; as does "OFF" branded goo remover.

Not harsh on paint; much less harsh than continued rubbing and scrubbing.

Flap disks work well.

9" gets it off quickest
