Where do start. Today was a hassle at the tire shop. I ordered 20" Milanos on Monday, 8.5 and 9.5 and Nitto 55 tires. 275/35 and 255/35. Well after getting them mounted and driving away, I hit a small bump and rub, rub. By the way, I have the Eibach springs installed. I had to drive straight home, (2 miles) praying that I would not ruin my brand new tires. I busted out the air compressor and cutting disk and went to work on the rear fenders. I cut a bunch of small perpendicular cuts in the inner fender about 1/2" apart and then used the rubber handle of a hammer to gently bend each tab upwards. It seems to work so far, I have test driven only about 3 miles. The fronts rub when I turn the wheel left or right all the way. It is slightly rubbing the inner plastic splash guard. The wheels look amazing. I will post pics tomorrow. I also installed my Crawford cast plenum this evening. Seems quicker, but lt has a slight hesitation if you give it gas sharply from idle. What a day. Like I said I will post pics tomorrow.

By the way the wheels were $1540 plus tax and the tires were $900 plus tax.

Wrong off-set.

Where did you get them? Yeah, what offset did they give you?

should have gone with 255/30's and 275/30's

Offsets are 15 and 20. The tire sizes were recommended by several tire shops, including Discount.

The recommended size for the front with such a low offset is a 245. If you would have went with a 25 or 30 offset the 255 would be okay.

What happened with your wheels? Any pics yet?

Chris, I think you owe me a call or pm on wheels/tires you were looking into for me.

Where did you buy your rims? I like the style (and pricing) on these and cant find them in a 20" anywhere, other than their website. Pics please!

what's the recommended offset and tire size for 19X8 in the front and 20X10 in the back. (my car is lowered too--about 1 inch) i wanna put on the axis mods too (in black of course)

TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME, SAME OLD STORY. Why didn't you read first then buy your rims. This web site along with about 5 others provide sooooo much info on rims, offsets, tires and people still order the wrong thing. Your 20's with those tires are totally wrong. Good luck cutting the car up trying to get it not to rub. Even though...those are some nice wheels.

I did do my homework. I was looking for info in all directions. Finding info on 20" wheels and tires was scarce. I found a few posts of people running the 255/35 and 285/30 setup, however, that setup makes the rear tire smaller in diameter than the front. I went with the 275/35 thinking it to be not as wide and would not have rubbing issues. The problem is with the aggressive offset of the Milanos, +15 and +20. Since this is the first set of 20" Milanos, I was assuming,(I know, never assume), that I would be ok. I sent a request to Chris at Discount and he said the 275/35 would be fine, but he did not know what offset, in his defense. Anyways, I got the fenders rolled, no issues in the back. The fronts rub on large dips at speed, damn California highways. They seem to only rub on the plastic of the inner fender well, though. I don't think that it will damage the tire, not anything noticeable right now. I will definitely go with 245/35's in the future. I dropped the car off yesterday to have my Procharger installed, so no pics, sorry. All that I can say is that they look amazing!! Compliments and gaukers are abundant. Overall, I am very satisfied. Now, I cannot wait until Weds. or Thurs. to feel the power. I have spent a lot of time and money on this vehicle and I love every moment of driving. I promise pics will be on the way. Thanks to all that tried to assist me with the tires, much appreciated.

I just got my tires.. check my signature, I'm crossing my fingers about the rubbing issue, my Z isn't lowered though.

You shouldn't have problems. My offsets are out more. I think yours will be fine even with a drop.

I have 20x9 & 20x10 iForged Evos w/ 255/35 (f) & 285/30 (r). No TCS/VDC issues & rubbing. I've been running on these for well over 3 months now with several long distance rides. Not sure of the offset since It was simply just specified to ensure fitment for BBK I plan on doing in the future. I have a 2" lip in the front & 3" lip on the rear. Badmonkey_1, could you please post pics of your setup? I'm just curious to see how the offset made it difficult for you in fitment & what you did to resolve it.

I will post pics when I get my car back from the S/C install, later this week.

very nice car. I was wonder what is your offset on your wheels? I just brought set wheels. My offset is +32 in the front and the back is +35. I was thinking to buy 255/35/20 and 285/30/20. would this work? can you email me, mr2vi30@yahoo.com

thanks

sorry to hear, but i don't believe the problem is the offsets... it's your tires

275/35/20 is just too tall for our rear wheel wells... it's a whole INCH taller than stock

NourZ

it's not an inch taller, the full diameter is 0.8 inch more than the 245/45-18s, means that radius increased by 0.4 inch or the space between the well and the tire decreased by 0.4 inch or the car is 0.4 inch higher! which is nothing if you think about it. his problem is the wheels, offset is too high for 20s especially that his car is dropped.

Strife350z

actually, when I was referring to an INCH taller, I was referring to the overall diameter... and if you want to nitpick, the radius is increased by 0.45 inches, not 0.4 which may not seem like much, but considering that rolling your fenders only increases clearance by a few tenths of an inch as well... every little bit counts

btw, the +20 offset is fine for a 9.5" wide wheel... it should not be the sole cause of rubbing... anything higher and the wheels would look sunk-in.... anyway I agree though, the drop probably contributed most to the problem

either way, the problem would have been solved with a 275/30/20 tire
