Are you using these wheels on the track, or do have another set?

 

I have another set......the same size and offset. Remember...I can only run 20"....but I received a set of shaved Yokahama's that I use to test.

 

....

 

of course a 295 will fit on a 11.5" rim. not what i was concered with its the +30 offset that might not be deep enough to allow the tire clearance from the suspension. i'll prolly just play it safe and go with the 11" +24 (which will give me 1/2" more inner clearance) as the 11.5" with my current 275's (until i wore them out) would be pretty stretched.

 

I have a Black G

 

11.5" will start getting close to the coilovers. I run a 19x12" (20x12" would be worse) with Bilstien coilovers and there are holes rubbed in the dust boots from when the suspention would compress when I had -2.5deg camber now I am at -1.5 with no issues. But its very close clearence both to the fenders and coilovers. If I did it again I would probobly stick with an 11" but 11.5 with the right offset should work. I think 1"= aprox 25mm so 11.5" with a +30 would be 10mm closer to the suspention than 11" +35. Hope that helps.

Sorry for the OT Mike.

 

[QUOTE=GreenGoblin;7417473][QUOTE=XKR;7417308]GreenGoblin with the wide body green Z was who gave me the info on them.
MY bad.....So who is the guy with that bad azz green wide body with the Savini's

 

HAHAHA. I've had my Savini SV-10's for like 3 yrs now. I have the Anodized chrome lips not the polished chrome that they went to after they made their first sets.

 

On my setup, the issue is the tire, not the wheel. I have 305s on 10.5" wheels. The tires are wider than the rim by about 1.5", so they extend about 19 mm on each side. I have probably about 1/4" clearence between the tire and the coilovers using camber, but more than that between the inner edge of the rim and the coilovers.

Using a 295 on an 11" wheel will means that the tire will not extend as much beyond the wheel, maybe about 8 mm on each side. So I think a 30 offset should work fine, especially if you are setting up for street use, in which case you will want to run less camber than I am.

If I were going to run a 295 on an 11" wheel, I would go with an offset in the range of 35 mm - 37mm.

 

Remember, the offset is measured from the center of the wheel, which only changes by one-half of the width change. In other words, going from an 11" wheel to an 11.5" wheel only moves the centerline 1/4", or a little over 6 mm. 11.5" with 30 offset would be somewhere around 1 mm less inner clearence than a 11.0" with 35 mm offset.

 

rogue350z I believe.

 

yes you basically repeated exactly what i said in my original question. Thanks

thats why i was figuring a 11.5" +30 would fit if the 11" +35 was fine. Thats why I was asking how much clearance from the suspension that the 11" +35 had.

 

OOOOooops My bad

 

Yes, your original post was correct.

I was responding to Sylvan Lake V35's Post where he said "11.5" with a +30 would be 10mm closer to the suspention than 11" +35", which is incorrect.

 

Its Kool.....There is really no OT in this thread.....This thread will cover Rims to motor..

I also agree with the width x offset numbers. My rim in the rear has zero room for error. BTW...Savini says that my rear rim is a "Center +30" Hope that helps.

 

yea sorry for the OT mike, but i do appreciate the insight! its def helping me with my HW

 

I was just logging on to change it, I was sitting thinking about wheel fitment and it hit me.... i am an idiot....1/4" on each side, someone at work was bothering me when i was doing my math(thats my story anyway). thanks for the correction

 

kool....no OT problems here......this thread is wide open for all topics dealing with all things G/Z.....

 

i guess you car is being stripped anyday now in prep for the new setup?

 

They already started......The turbo's are out..because Sharif told me what he found when he inspected the turbo's...so my guess is the motor is our also.......He will also inspect that also
