Default SSR GTH-2 Offset question

for the ssr gth-2 wheels

19" x 9" +31mm offset (front)

19" x 10.5 +43mm offset (rear)

Will this offset out the wheels to far in. ....in other words would you recommend spacers with these offset?

thanks for you opinions!

I have the same offsets and wheels sizes. If the car isn't lowered it does not need spacers. If it is lowered ,for aestetic reasons only, it will need 10-15mm spacers in the rear. The fronts could use 5mm spacers, but it is fine without them.

I have the exact same wheels and offsets just in 18s. I have a 5mm spacer in the front and a 15mm spacer in the rear and it looks perfect.

IMHO. The 350Z was made for low offsets! Under +25.
For that kind of an investment...why fool around with spacers?

was looking at the same set up since tire rack has a good dela on them. I guess that's what you are looking at. I decided to not go with them because the offset where to high. but if you get them post some pics, all I find here are 18s and I think they are too small.

They are such a good deal right now that some spacers are not a problem for me. I got mine shipped to my door for 1175.

There are no risks... Spacers are a non issue.

Just wondering, but what size tire would you put on these? Tire rack suggested 245F and 275R, but these seem to small.

Eh, lot's of people run 275's on 10.5" wide wheels. It will probably look a little 'stretched' (though not too much), but I would think that a 285 width tire is more appropriate. Lot's of people run 275's to *hopefully* avoid having to modify their rear fenders for clearance between the tire and fender. This of course also depends on what offset the wheel is. 285 tires on a 10.5" wide wheel with +25 or lower offset, and you're probably in rub city.

I run 275/35/18 up front with no rubbing issues at all. I currently have 275/40/18 on the rear and it looks stretched. I will be getting 295s or possibly 305s next and it wont be a problem to fit them. The rims have a really high offset. The rears are +43 and the fronts are I think a +31. I run a 5mm spacer up front and a 15mm in the rear and still have some room if i wanted to push them closer out to the fenders.

You should run a 275/30/19, and a 295/30/19. That's the size I am running.
