Hello! I am looking to get some wheels for my z, but not sure what offset to run, im looking to run 8.5 and 9.5, or 9.5 and 10.5, and ive heard offset recommended anywhere between 20-25 offset, and im not sure whether a staggered offset is what is needed, or even offset for front and rear... thoughts? feedback? thanks! (also I would be hopefully running a 19 inch wheel, and depending on the wheel width, i would be running somewhere around 270/35r19 in the front, and 285/35r19 in the rear and that would only be if i get wheels that are 9.5/10.5 width)

also i wouldnt prefer any rolled/pulled fenders/quarter panels... but I guess I would be open to it

i ran 18x9.5 +23 front and +15 rear.. it does require rolling fenders though

others have ran 18x10.5 +15 rear

gotcha, that helps, ill check out wheel options, if im running 19's nothing should change other than the tire aspect ratio correct?

in theory... mic has more knowledge on 19s

that setup was 255/40 and 275/40 combo. fronts rubbed on the top fender liner screw, i just took it out

Do you have VDC? What trim is your Z?

It's not absolutely necessary to have a staggered setup and you can run a square setup if you want.

If you're already set on a staggered 19" wheel with 9.5" in the front and 10.5" in the rear, then 245/35/19 in the front and 275/35/19 in the rear with a +22 offset wheel is pretty common with no issues.

I have a 2003 Touring trim level... so I do have the VDC and traction control button... and okay, I already am on 19s, but one of the wheels is cracked somehow, so I am in the market for a new set, and dont want to have to run spacers again

Tech Territory

aswell as I really like the look of 19s compared to 18s... the only thing i dont like is that I cant run 40 aspect ratio tires without it screwing with my times at autocross cus of the ABS

If you want a true flush fit, figure on rolling & sealing your fender guards.

No roll, 19x9.5 +22 front, 19x 10.5 +25 rear. 245/35-19 & 275/35-19. VDC happy, no fender clearance issues unless lowered >25mm or more.

For reference, this is the above set up EXCEPT, +22 and 285s in rear, fenders 3/4 roll & seal, 20mm drop.

Tech Territory

nope, but ABS is on

Got it, that helps a lot thanks!
