Default Nismo offset question..

I would post this under wheels and tires, but I know allot of Nismo owners are not rocking any aftermarket wheel setups for the most part.

I have a pretty good idea of how offset, tire size, camber and all that good stuff works, but I need to bite the bullet on a new set of wheels asap, so my question is, will 19x9.5+0 & 19x10.5+0 on 235/265's will fit a Nismo 350z, without fender rolling?

No.

The most I would do is 18+ front .. 22+Rear

Why do you want your wheels hanging out past the car it self.

I can't move this post or I would, as it is not for NISMO owners specifically. This is for the stretched tire crowd to answer given those wheel specifics.

BTW, want to sell your NISMO wheels?

^I was thinking the same thing Scott.

-0- offset would not need a fender roll on stock height but nearly any other aggressive drop would need a cut/roll.

You will need to rethink your tire sizing as well since your tires will be undersized for the wheel.

There are a couple Nismo's with +12 all around with no issues. My next set of rims will most likely be +12's. I am currently at +22's all around.

oh fantastic... you're putting varstoen's on your nismo.

why don't you just throw your hard earned money at a stripper.

far more rewarding. especially in the short term.

save up and buy some legit enkei's at least.

18x7 +12? 20x12 +12? It matters. . . greatly.

a 265 will definately rub and require fender rolling. try going down to a 225F/245R with enough camber might work out with +0

Thanks for the info, I appreciate all the input so far.

I'm friends with several people on this site in real life and I know how you guys feel about anything other than having Volk/Work/SSR/Advan/Enkei/etc. on our cars.

I'm deploying in 2 months and I want to see how certain looks look like in real life before I drop any real cash on anything when I get back.

Unfortunately I don't live in SoCal so my options are pretty limited as such.

Why are people looking up my other posts too.. this is almost as bad when I got my *** ripped for telling you guys I can't see pictures on this site at work because it's blocked lol.

I had not actually - I knew what they were based on the very unique offsets
described by OP. I've done quite a bit of snooping on Varstoen too, so everything
is "fresh" in my mind .

Sorry about that, I kind of jump to conclusions sometimes.

I've been interested in the RPF1's ever since I saw them on another users MB Nismo and they are one of my options.

My issue is, i'm really interested in aquiring some Volk TE-37's, but based on pictures i've seen on this site, they only look good on Z's without aero.

So basically, I would like to see what they would kind of look like myself before I ship out. I don't want to waste my hard earned money on something I don't like.
