You mean "stuff" like offsets? I assure you width and offset plays a huge roll in how a set of wheels looks.

 

sorry but with that mentailty that sounds like a fail in the making

 

alright i guess ill put it in technical terms... i dont care about the offset right now because i just want to know how these style of rims look on the car no i wont buy 7.5 inch rims or the wrong offsets. after i see a set on the car i will look for the proper offset and size.. does that make you guys happier.. what im saying is i dont care about the offset right now.. because i just want to see what they look like. the black on chrome. or has no one ever found a set that fits?

 

what is the MIN you would need.. would a 20 x 8.5 38 mm offset work? or you going to need 9.5 min and 30-35mm offset. mine is a 2004. right now both are 18's factory.

 

I ordered some 18x9.5 +12's. Will 265/40 all around rub? I know the rear will be fine but what about the fronts?

 

Carbon on carbon...

 

Largely depends on type of tire, amount of drop and camber. I'm running 265/35s street tires on 18x9.5+22s up front with no problems and I've seen 275/35s up front as well. From a looks standpoint 40 series is getting pretty tall in that width.

 

Hmmm so I should run 265/35? Its gonna be pretty low. I would rather not have to run retarded amounts of camber.

 

^ i wouldnt run anything lower than 40 series on lowered 18's, thats just me tho, i know some ppl do it

 

Car is grubby in this pic, but oh well......it sat in the garage since early Dec and hasn't been washed since......

 

here's mine

Hi
I bought 18X9.5 +20 offsets wheels for 350Z
and wanna do staggered tire option for them
any recommendation for Front and Rear ?

For now, im not looking for dropping my car
but if i have to, i will drop my car just LITTLE bit

 

Look at the 2007 Nismo Rims and tires. OEM tires are about the right size.

 

Since you aren't looking to drop I would recommend 245/40F and 265/40R.

You can do 275/40R but I don't like to see more than a 20mm width difference on same width wheels, otherwise the difference in sidewall stiffness F/R might start to feel weird.

I run 265/35F and 275/35R but that would look really odd at or near stock ride height. PS2s don't come in 285/35 or I would have those on the rear.

 

would 245/40R, 265/40R be looking weird if i drop my car later?
and would 40R will look much fatter than 35R ?

 

I'd do 255/40 275/40...same height as stock 225/45 245/45.

And 40 series will look fatter than 35 series, but 35 is really short. I wouldn't recommend to 35 series unless you are using a 275 front and 295 rear (and 295 is too wide for a 9.5" wheel).
