No, I ordered a 2.5"....its just with a two peice wheel, thats what it looks like. What you should do, is try to go to a slightly lower offset in front...help push those front out to match the rears. Ask vince what will work up there.

brad, sorry to keep bugging you.

can you tell me what offset the front would need to be (guesstimate) to push the wheel out to the edge of the wheel well (like the rear), maybe a +22 or +17???

I dont know, you dont want to go too much farther out or it will interfere with the suspension down the road. Vince knows this **** so maybe he could chime in cause im helpless

Thumbs up

Brad, thanks for posting the GREAT shots of your Great looking, GREAT shinning Z! The new wheels are one of the best I've seen yet. Good choice! Love the way the rears fill the wheel well! Looks like you chose to maintain front OEM scrub radius, instead of "THE LOOK" of filling the front wheel well. Good choice! I also like the "NO RIVET" look

I'm VERY tempted to order, but I feel a need to see what WV2 spokes would look like with the polished lip.........


BTW, thanks for all your detailing info

Silverstone wheels could look good. I think brushed will look better though

Seriously, they match the doorhandles perfectly.

TRUE, when you see the wheels in real life, it is almost a shame that people paint over that beautiful metal brushed finish. It is hard to discribe.

Please explain this in more detail - what's the deal with wheels being pushed out in the front more "OEM scrub radius" and how can this be detremental to the suspension? Pushing too far out causes too much suspension stress??

I ordered mine (aeros) to match Skidazzles GT-C offsets. Same rear as Brad, but 2mm farther pushed out in front. I think Brads are +21, and mine are going to be +19, or vice versa.

nope, I just spoke to VINCE @ iForged, Brads are +27mm-FRONT and +29mm REAR (NOT 26mm like he thought)

I am doing the exact same rear offset as brad, BUT a +18mm front (very very similar to the Volk TE37 we see on this site)

I looked it up, I ordered +19 for my fronts, To get that offset, we converted skidazzles sizes to my rim widths.

He has 19x8.5 +27 and 19x9.5 +24

That converted to 19x8 +19 and 19x10 +30, so the outside edge of the wheels will sit right where his do.


btw, got my S-03s today! 245/35 275/35

actually, your fronys will be 2mm more towards the wheel well
(mine will be 3 more), and my rears will be 1 more than yours and skidazzles.

what size lips did you order and what model wheel??
