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.

 

19x9.5 +11 and 19x10.5 +11 is the 2nd most aggressive offset I have seen on this board.

 

The lord helps those who helps themselves. There are members who run so tight in the back that you cannot put a finger between the fender and the tire. Look and you will find.

 

I'm rocking +19 front, +17 rear. Thinking of doing a 5mm spacer in the front. (Car will be even lower in two weeks).

 

Running the same as GQ 350Z.



I wonder if 285/35 (currently have 275/35 rear lowered on Tanabe GF210) would fit in the rear with the 10.5" +17...

 

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.

 

I disagree that 285/35 is "ugly"... I have seen 285/30 and the sidewall profile is like miniature. You need to drop the car about 2" in the back to eliminate wheel gap if you have 285/30. Plus if you're doing 245/35, 255/35 in front, then 285/35 is more technically correct in the rear while 285/30 is incorrect.

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).

 

Im running 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 I am considering upping it to 245/275, but as it sits with 3 deg camber in the rear, I rub on LARGE dips.

 

have a customer running 9 and 10 with ZERO OFFSETS
245 and 275 =)





How is that for flush =)


Here are full size pics

 

Looks like I need a 5mm spacer to beat that!

 

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!

 

by the way that is my car =)
HEhehe..

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 =)

 

gasps I think I am in love LOL..

soon man soon, hit me up =) Can't wait to get rid of my 4x4 look LOL even though I'm already dropped like 1.3"

 

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.

 

ok so front and rear..
what are the wideness of the stock fenders..
and for the front wat width you gonna run?


For the rear if its 4 inch bigger then you can run...
19x13 -44 offset =)

 

Hmmmm... the only person I know that would say that is Colin or Josh.

 

See I just really need help because wheels is one thing that I know very little about. A -44?

 

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)?
