Well, I don't think it is necessary to lock it, but I'd like to ask that people posting more in this thread, do come up with new issues or comments rather than regurgitate the same stuff as posts already in the thread!

Now, now! Less sarcasm, please - even though it may be obvious to you! It was a legit comment to watch out for ... too easy to bend or break wheels with that little sidewall. Particularly on a heavy car like the M!

what about this....







I think this M looks pretty damn sweet and works pretty well...

Now in my humble opinon I am not a fan of the 22s. But with the right offset, wheel choice, adjustable suspension and aero the 22s work a heap load better on a M35 as seen above... yeah, those are 22s.

although I don't think the M can suck in the 22s as easily as the BMW 745/750/760 doing some things can make a world of difference. I still think the M above is a tad bit too high, but it does look farkin sweet and clean.

I only have 20s and they fill up the gap pretty well for me as I have coilovers. So the 20s are good for me.



end of the day is what the owner likes and Vincee is really the only one that counts, if he digs it then its all cool. One just needs to understand that others will have their opinions as well.

I would personally love to see you drop it and aero it.....

Thanks, am still working on the M.... hopefully will get her there soon....

The wheels on my M are Work Varianza T1s staggered. Yes, have the JICs. Much better then stock ride. Stock was too floaty for me, car was too high for me. JIC was a good fitment, as you are also able to adjust the damper (stiff/soft) on the JIC mine is set in the middle and the ride is much better, controled, firmer and not stiff and bouncy.

Those cars above look great! I just came and drifted to your forum since the M35 not M45 is the next car I will purchase. I don't care much the extra horses and extra gas consumption. To the guy that started this thread, 92 load rating is very low. I have 20's on my Y33 and my load rating is 97. I'm not jumping on on you, just worried about your safety. Whoever installed the tires should've pointed that out to you. Hopefully they didnt' see you a cheap tire. The second black on black M witht he 22's is PERFECT!! I love rims with a chrome lip and lowering it puts the icing on the cake! Once I purchase my M, I will be back to get pointers!!

Lawman12, you car looks just like my friends car from that angle. He has lexus gs300 lowered and looks similar to your's.

There is a M35 in here for service with 22's... I must say... I would not feel comfortable with 1" of sidewall between the road and the wheel...

scary...

What is the load index of that tire? If below 94 by a lot, then I think he is in for a rude awakening if he ever hits anything at speed. The wheel will destruct ...

Keep it pumped up at 44psi!!

Sweet car Man, What size and offsetts are you running? Also what tire size you run?

The M35 is a car that can pull off 20s without a problem. But 22s is too much...in my opinion.

Also, there's no way that ride can be comfortable. Not to mention the added weight. I think 19s are the optimal size for the 06-07 M
