Crazy offsets
Just curious as to how aggressive z owners can get with their offsets. Anyone running something flush or more than flush (i.e. poke) or anyone cambering in order to fit their wheels? Pulled fenders etc. Post up your pics please.

Only if your fenders are rolled. I would say 285/30 is more reasonable..the 285/35 would be ugly imo.
I'm going probably 305 next time around, if I can get myself to drop on the Pirellis.

Tire size calculators can help you determine the closest matchup to stock when it comes to outer diameter of your new wheels/tires.

Point taken, however my car is about that low--I should have taken that into consideration.
It's just too much sidewall for my taste (I might be the minority here).

I am considering upping it to 245/275, but as it sits with 3 deg camber in the rear, I rub on LARGE dips.
How on Earth is there any usable suspension travel with that and how the heck can the front wheels turn without rubbing? That's insane!

So there is full suspension travel.
Rear actually cambers in more when you hit a bump so it never rubs..
my front however i rub the ubber fender well..
i am soo low that when i drive hard.
i sometimes pop the plastic clips near the battery offf =)

Ok crazy offsets? You all seem to know more about wheels then I do. What offset should I run if I am using a 19x13" wheels in the rear and have extended the fenders 4inches (mastergrade kit). I'm having custom built HRE's so I can tell him whatever offset to make. Someone told em that I will have to have a -11 offset or something like that.

simple math for the rear.
stock setup is 19x10 +20
now...
4 inch = 100 mm
a 19x13 with same front spacing as a 19x10 would be +56
so.
19x13 +56 add the 100mm extra fender and it ends up being...
19x13 -44

My stock wheels were the 03 Rays that came on the track. I thought they were 18x8s and I know they aren't 19s? Thanks a lot and do you know if I could use a 285 tire on a 12" wide wheel and what would the offset be for the front(still four inches wider)?
