Default 10 inch in the rear?

Thinking of getting Zenetti Five 20 inch rims, 20 X 8 in the front and 20 X 10 in the rear. Anyone put a wheel that wide in the rear? Trying to do it without modifying the wheel well.

I had the same question also, I wanted to see if anyone had any pics of them running 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10.5 in the rear.

I actually meant 20 X 8.5 in the front, but that wasn't really part of the real question anyway. I saw someone selling them on ebay. He had a pic of them fitting, but he never answered my question on modifying the wheel well. I'm going to try to attach the picture. Too bad his car wasn't redline so I could see what they would look like on mine.

Well if you dont lower you car you shouldn't have to roll the modify anything, I know there are a couple of people on the site that have 20in rims and they have no problem rubbing well i guess we have to see if someone with 20in rims can post us a pic so we can see what it looks like

I know height wise they are ok, I just wondered about the depth.

Thing is, even an 8.5" wheel might rub or not fit, *if* the offset is wrong. People have had 10.5 (and I think 11, maybe more), but when you start heading towards something that wide, the magin of error in terms of offsets, etc., decreases.

So is it best to go with 8.5 in the front and 10.5 rear with the factory offset which is like +28 or can you go with a +22

it's all about the offsets and how much you want to lower the car.

There are a few here with 11" rear wheels.

I myself have 10.5" rear wheels w/ a +22 offset ... it is perfectly flush with the fender at a 1" drop w/ 1degree of camber.

With 20' you'll need to adjust the Speedometer.. Or else you will be off.

It's funny, Photoshop (or GIMP, in this case) is great at helping people spend money here on the forum. Glad I could help!!!

I definately do not need help spending the money. I need help making the money to spend.

*** get ready for the shameless plug***

so if any of you need any parts for your Z or any other nissan I have a deal with my parts department to sell parts OEM or NISMO for below invoice. Check out www.simplexproductions.com if you have any interest.

***end shameless plug***

It'll help me finish to paying for the 95 max I just bought for the harsh Massachusetts winter that has turned out to be 50 degress everyday providing plenty of quality Z weather.
