Some advice needed please
Hi all
I am in the process of purchasing a 2016 Nismo 370z. I am not planning on lowering the car but want to replace the stock rims as I have done so on my previously modified 350z. The rims I am looking at are the Judd T311's. What set up can you all recommend to fill the arches and keep them flush?. I want to avoid rubbing. Am looking at 19x9.5 Front (+22) and 19x10.5 Rear (+22). Any thoughts and advice from some of the experienced members would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Martin

Looks as though that wheel is available only in 9 and 10.5 x 20.

Here's a similar looking wheel with better fitment.

Thanks for your reply jhc. Would the Judd spec of 9 and 10.5 x 20 work on both front and rear and sit flush/fill the arches. Would i need spacers ?. I would prefer to put the Judds on and being based in the UK i can easily source them here.
Have a good Christmas. Thanks.

I run 18 x 9.5+12, 18 x 10.5+12, 265/35 fr and 295/35 rr and love the fit. You might want to look at the 1st two threads, lots of pics and specs.

OP - be careful in not just choosing 350Z optimized wheels for your Z34. Offset requirements on Z34 FRONT axle is very different from 350Z. Deviating too far from stock high offset wheels (upper 40s in front) will change scrub radius and possibly result in very different feeling handling/responsiveness.
PHYSICALLY, you can fit a +15 wheel (and even less on the rear); but that doesn't make it right. Hot tip on Z34 is running front offsets in the mid-20s (at the lowest) to maintain steering response. Rears you can go down to +15 no problem.
I tried my 19" Volks/S04s on my Z34 with front offset +19 (just for kicks to see what it would do). Car became very darty and directional stability suffered.... those lasted about a day and a half on the car. Yet, these wheels ran absolutely fine on both my Z33s.
