I bought my volks from 350zforums last year and they came out great IMO. However, the offset of my front rims were a little different from what people normally run here.

The rears are 9.5 +22
The fronts are 8.5 +29

Here are some pictures of them on my car:

This is before I put my tein S tech springs on




After the Tein springs:



Do I need a spacer in the front? Or do you think it looks fine as it is?

 

Can you measure the gap between the front tire and the fender?

The rear looks fine from your pic. If you can get closer pic on front and the back, I may figure out for you.

 

I would assume from the top of the front tire to the inner lip of the fender?


I think the rear looks fine its just the fronts I am worried about.

Thanks for helping me.

 

Yes, measure the top of the front tire to the inner lip of the fender. Always!

 

it is right at 1 inch from the rubber to the lip I think. do you think a 25 mm spacer would be just right?

 

double post

 

I have a 2 brand new 25 mm hub centric adapters that would fit perfectly on your fronts. They are brand new and will sell them for $120 shipped.

 

i'm thinking 15mm in the front
the rear looks good

 

15 max!

 

15 millimeters = 0.590551181 inches

if you want them to sit flush...you wont listen to those that tell you 15 mm is what you want

 

Your rear is fine...

I would get a 5mm spacer for the front so you will be +24. I believe with a 5mm you can still use your stock bolts.

if you went with 15mm as someone mentioned above you'd be at a +14 offset which wouldn't work at all...your wheels would be outside the fender LOL.

 

yup +14 would be too low
there are a few z's that run offset that low or even lower
but with cut/rolled fenders
so with stock set up ideally you wanna stay around 20 or up in the front
and you can run 245/35/19 or 255/35/19 tires
and yes 29 does look quite a bit sunken in

 

I ended up going with a 10mm spacer. Eibach hubcentric

I will post results
