Default Info needed for 20" wheels with spacers???

Hi Gents...Not much clued up when concerning offsets etc,,,so I will extremely appreciate any valuable info supplied by my fellow 350z owners... I have a 350Z lowered with Pro-Eibachs, a Brembo brake upgrade, & therefore have 25mm wheel spacers fitted...I would like to purchase a set of 20" wheels, front 9j & rear 10.5j...I was thinking of going with a 245x35x20 on the front & 275x30x20 on the rear...Bearing in mind the spacers I have fitted,,,What offsets on the front & rear would I be looking at??? Obviously want to avoid rubbing...I know this is a mind-boggler, but I am hoping a Z-owner has been through this exercise & can shed some light for me & fellow Z-owners alike... Your input will greatly be appreciated....

The spacers should really depend on the offsets on the wheel not the other way around

They have been discontinued for a long time so you'll have to find them used and that will be a rare deal.

Default My new wheels- deep lip

Hey guys. I had a very very fortunate last few weeks.

About a month ago, I had a guy selling his KSPORT SLIDE PROS on craiglist for $800 and I talked him down to $600.. they were practically new and everything was perfect.

Then I was waiting to put them on until tax time when I was getting new rims.... So last weekend my buddy comes back for leave and I offered a trade for his 20'' rims as he was getting something new. He accepted and so my LONG saturday began... HERE IS THE FINALY RESULT...

REAR 20x10.5 i think tires are 255 35 20
FRONT 20x9 i think tires are 225 35 20

like milt said...

it seems your new to this so ill cut you some slack, if you absolutely need to run 20's, at least tuck rim. Secondly you shouldnt be running a square tire setup on staggered wheels.

Rims were pretty close to free... The tires came with the rims Im not sure if the tire sizes are correct I would have to recheck. As for me being "NEW". I am new considering some of you guys. I have only had my z 6 months.

I do think the 20s may be too big but I enjoy the way they look and the rims were from SEMA in 2009 so noone else has a set. I will be getting the centers painted.

AS for tucking rim (sounds like it would look good but I have alot of speed bumps out of my complex and I still need to be able to leave.

Thank for all the imput.

I actually liked it lowered on the stock wheels. I'm not a huge fan of chrome rims...but so long as your happy that's all that matters. How's the ride quality?
