your fine with a +27 offset - be sure to check caliper clearance -

my wheel specs for reference -
Rota SVN Flat Black
18×9 +20
18×10 +20 w/10mm spacer = +10 offset
255/35/18 RE11 - 275/40/18 RE11
Work Meister S1 3P Platinum Gold w/polished lip
19 x 9.5 +22 w/5mm spacer = +17 offset
19 x 11 +19 w/20mm spacer = -0.1 offset
245/30/19 - 275/30/19

I run these all on a lowered car - if i was at stock height i could go offroading

No big brakes and no Brembos I will *probably* be okay. Crossing fingers since I didn't check that before buying the wheels but think I am okay. D'oh.

Lol.

Have them listed FS here though obviously thinking of not selling them: https://my350z.com/forum/texas-marke...-tire-etc.html

Just need to change the centers to something more appropriate.

Closer to these, kind of in between.



But yeah..... I don't think they look too terrible.

Lucky - my recommendation for best cool factor if you want to run those wheels is a 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 with a mild drop (springs). You can get a set of drop springs that won't set you too low, but close some wheel gap to look better. There are plenty of us local guys that can install them for cheap and they don't cost much to begin with.

If you're set on running a 40 series without a drop then go with a 245/40/19 and 275/40/19.


Christine - I can see how my posts and others came across as harsh, but we really aren't a bunch of jackholes. Needing spacers is an opinion and if you don't share that opinion then no others matter. Drive your car the way you want to. You mentioned saving for some new wheels and if you're ok with the way it sits until then, more power to ya.

Not looking for cool factor. If someone doesn't like me, or my car for that matter, because of the gap b/t a fender and my tire then maybe they need to find something better to do with their time.

Thanks for the help BTW fellows. The search begins for 285-40-19 and 255-40-19 or 295-40-19 and 265-40-19's.

In the meantime anyone looking to get rid of some spacers? Need a pair of 30MM and a pair of 20MM.

Are you really going to run those huge tires with those huge spacers?

Nowhere did I say the spacers are for those wheels.

Haha ok. I was wondering if they were for stockers or those. Would be a bit overkill with those wheels and large tires.

Nah, those are for the stock wheels. Thinking I'm going to leave these wheels up and if the 19's sell before I can snag the tires then I'll run with these until I find something else.

Have to be mindful of garage space with all of this as well so not a whole lot of extra room for extra tires, wheels, etc.

I missed seeing a lot of the regulars out there this weekend at TMS for the AutoX. I was only out there for half the day since I had to leave early but still had a great time.

Adam & Brandon were driving....with Pat showing up to hang out and give support for us all.

I ran pretty good times in the AM....and was in 3rd before the PM group ran again.....But I only got bumped down to 4th...so I was happy with it. Thought I would be down near 10th !

I wish I could have ran in the afternoon...I know I would have gotten a bit faster.

Anyways....here is my best run for the morning.

Dropping only 1 place is impressive. It looked like a pretty tough class. Some nice lines in the video, too.
