Sorry I don't recall offsets but I'm running
20x9 245/35R20 Front
20x10.5 285/30R20 Rear
I would recommend 295's though.

Default 20x10.5 all around?

So i was thinking of going 20x10.5 all around on stock suspension. Dumb question do I need camber kit to get back into spec? I tried to do some research but didn't find anything so please excuse me if this has been covered thanks

Normally u don't need a kit unless your car is lowered, however u could possibly have rubbing problems that negative camber could correct.

thanks for the reply. I would like to go low but roads do not allow it where i live. If I have 30mm offset will I need spacers?

I'm no expert on fitment but I have 20x9+13 f and 20x11+13 r. I'm pretty low and have a slight rub up front. With a 30 u might have issues with inner rub on the fronts. I'd research as much as possible about spacers to get the look u want. FYI stock 18s are a + 30 at like 8wide or something

I was planning on getting the niche milan 20x10.5 all around but can only find them with 30mm offset. I have seen pics of a g37 with that set up so should be possible just not sure how much work it would take?

That is not the setup you want to run on a stock suspension and those wheels you are choosing are heavy and poor quality.

I would keep looking and stick with 19's with a fatter tire setup so you can makeup the gap without having to dropping the car.

thanks for the advice. why would 10.5 be bad for sock suspension apposed to dropped? I realize that this is not a good handling set up but i don't track my car nor is it a daily driver

No you misunderstood me, what I mean is that visually it will look awkward but have no affect on your stock suspension.

There are plenty of people that run aftermarket wheels and tires without an aftermarket suspension but they run a more aggressive wheel and tire setup while running a larger tire than most

What you're trying to do will only end up making your car look like a 4x4 truck unless you run really fat tires which will also require camber and fender work which at the end of the day is not worth it to run those Niche's

I would stop if I were you and do some more research and find more setups to review, for instance within this thread this guy has a great setup on stock springs

https://my350z.com/forum/10049822-post955.html

his setup is the following:

The wheels I have are Avant Garde M368's
20" x 8.5" with a +20 offset on the front
20" x 10" with a +20 offset on the back
I'm pretty sure that's what the offset is.

Tires are Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110's
Front: 245/35/ZR20
Rear: 275/35/ZR20
So rather than forcing yourself to run those Niche's and just get stuck with a poorly fitting wheel spend the time to look for something that actually will work for the car

He should have been running a 20x9.5" front but you can see it doesn't look that bad with the smaller 8x5" front

That is not a bad thing, I would never run Vossens

Do some searching through google and you will see all of the problems people have been having.

You might want to look into running XXR's since they will work for the little that you drive your car and won't be too expensive

Really tired of people bagging on Vossen. I have CV3's and no problem. Vossen wheels are a well built mono block wheel. No complaints from this owner.
