I bought some work meister rims 19x9.5 front and 19x11 back. What size tires should I get?

 

Depend on offset...

 

370z Forged Rays... 5mm spacer on the front. Didn't need it on the back but added it to keep the look:
(Need to get some new springs now... hate the gap in the rear, although its less when my fat *** is sitting in it !!)

 

 

Maybe I am wrong, but to me it looks like you need a bigger spacer on the front. Maybe its just the angle of the pic but your front wheel looks like it is still sitting in.
Anyway, here are my Volks...
Front: 19x8.5 Unknown offset with 15mm spacers
Rear: 19x9.5 Unknown offset with 15mm spacers

 

The 370z Rays front wheels is 19x9 +47 with 5mm spacer puts it at +42, Which is high... for even a newer Honda, let alone 350z. The rears with the 5mm spacers would be +25 which is better suited aesthetically. The fronts would need a 20~30mm spacer to match the look of the rears.

Stock 350z wheels are usually in the low +30s.

 

Ok so I was onto something then.

Heres another question for you... Why would Nissan go from an offset like a 350z where +22ish is ideal to a 370z where a +40 is ideal? I feel like that gives the 350z a much better chance of handling deep dish wheels.

 

Chassis, suspension, and handling characteristics I'd imagine.

 

You are answering all of my questions today... Thanks for all the info

 

LOL It's been an uneventful Sunday for me.

 

Im planning on buying some Rohana RC10 19x8.5 F +10 and 19x9.5 R +20
Fronts tires will be 255/35/19 and rears 285/35/19
My suspension is still stock but I do plan on dropping the car about an inch or so in the future.
Do I need to get the fenders rolled for this set up or should it be okay?
Thanks

 

Maybe… Ohhh… I hate that answer.

At stock height you probably will not need a roll on the rear fenders (but, you may experience an occasional rub).

If you drop the car, you probably will need a roll (or at least it will be close enough to rub on high suspension compression).

Decision made! I would just go ahead with the rear fender roll so you don’t need to worry about it.

Rubbing is just your car saying hey to the tires. They can get to friendly though...

 

You will most likely rub in the rear but if you're planning on getting springs you will need to get it rolled anyway

Most places charge around $100 so why not just get it done anyway?

 

Yeah I'm planning on eventually getting them rolled. I've just been paranoid about the risk of have the paint crack.

 

Just ask around in your regional forum for recommendations, any quality roller should know how to do it without it cracking

[QUOTE=tm9293;10345259]hopefully you guys will accept me in this thread? nothing crazy but I definitely don't belong in the stretched tire thread lol
19x9.5 255/35
19x10.5 285/35
my only regret is not getting 265's for the front



Verry verry verry sexy look! One of the nicest fitments i've seen, do you have a picture straight from the back? And could you tell me the offset on them and if so, what kind of suspension modifications did you do?

 

Thank you, the offsets are +22f +15 rear, and on bc br coilovers with spc rear camber kit

 

I'm think of buying a dual concave 5-star square setup for my Z. In 19's the only size available is a 19x10 +35, in 20's a 20x10.5 +20. I would prefer the 19's.

Will they fit my Base 350Z without hitting suspension parts?

To make my search easier can someone tell me what is the max backspacing I can have front and rear?

Thanks in advance.
