The specs that you posted for those wheels are more sunk than the factory offsets, is that really the look you're going for?

Again, look at what people are already running and review the links I posted, there is no reason it should be this difficult with this much info available

First the wheel is to narrow for the tire, you will get a lot of rollover when cornering. That effects performance , can't corner well and feels like crap. Next you will be missing about 3 inches total of width, wider does handle better (for the most part). Last we will all call you names and laugh at you if you install them on your car. Actually everyone will, to include the people at the bus stop that don't even have a car. Do you want to have a car that looks that pathetic?

If you want cheap 19's , look into a set of OEM G35 19's, you can probably even get a set with the proper tires for your car.

Default Need help with wheel fitment!!

Hey everyone, I'm hoping one of the wheel gurus on here will be able to help me out with the problem I'm facing. My Z currently has a set of 19x10.5 +22 AME Tracers all around. Problem is that the front wheels stick out roughly 2-3 inches past the fenders. I bought the car with after market brembo rotors, could they be pushing the wheels out farther than stock? I'm currently running a 255/35 on the front wheels and want to be able to run a 275/35 at least. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

it's not the brakes, it is the 10.5 width wheels on the front that are pushing them out. plus if the 255 sticks out already there is nothing you can do besides thin the wheel or change your offset to get a 275 on the front and not have it stick out.

The wheels in the front(size&offsets) are incorrect.The brakes have nothing to do with it.
I'd like to see pics.Fronts sticking out that far is ultra ricer.I'd replace the fronts
with wheels of a proper fitment.

Yeah it can't be right. My front is 9.5inches +15. And it is flush.

So your setup should stick out less than 1 inch from the fender.

Ok I def take the 2-3 inches thing back. It's actually more like 1.5 to 2. But yea it makes sense. I just need to get a larger profile.

Threads merged

We need pics or more info to help. Suspension, camber, tires, would be helpful in determining what you're working with

I have 18 (that doesn't matter) 9.5s and 11s with zero problems. The key is the offset. Lowering can be a factor..and 1.25 is getting on the low side. Just pick proper offset and use appropriate tires and you should be fine.
Now get ready to put your flame suit on, because you're gonna get some *heat* for not searching here on offsets and tires.
If you still have a problem after searching for info, PM me.

Why is everyone getting on this guy about offset? Hes just asking about the wheel stagger.

Go with a 9.5 front with the 11, or 9.5 rear with the 8.5. That way you wont have to run ridiculous stagger to make the tires fit the wheel.

Without offset and width together it is a complete shot in the dark

Regardless, he could have answered his own question if he reviewed post #8 in the Top 100 FAQ or spent some time researching what others have done in this thread
