can someone tell me the max offset of the car?

i wanted to get 19" SSR GT3 rims..
i believe they are 43mm and the bolt pattern is 5X120.. will this actually fit?

 

the 43 will fit depending on width but the 5x120 will not work - needs to be 5x114.3

 

yeah that setup wont work, here is a set a friend has for sale http://www.sfzcc.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5178

 

nope

 

ill probably get an adapter for the bolt pattern.. some people have actually tried these rims on 350z and they fit.. is it gonna do some rubbing if i put it on?

 

if the wheel is 10.5" wide in the rear it will look fine and will not be worse than stock. My SSR wheels are 10.5" with a +43 in the rear and they look fine. worse comes to worse get a 10-20mm spacer. that said, the bolt pattern is fubar for a Z

 

i believe they are.. i checked with tirerack.com

they do fit.. only the bolt pattern is different.. how about your front? whats the offset? is 43mm too big?? and also can some1 explain me wad spacer does as in the calculation.. if lets say i get 20mm spacer, will that actually work or ill just make it worse..

 

why mess with all that check out the set I linked, for 1600.00 he has an almost new set of wheels with almost new set of S03's on them. I know him well and he is very **** about taking car of things so the wheels are like new.

 

cause his offset is horrendous

 

I had those GT3 wheels and I used a 15mm spacer and they fit perfectly. The wheels do come in the correct bolt pattern for the Z and the Tire Rack sells them. But the spacers are a must for the right look. Make sure you get the 9' front rims and use a 5-10 mm spacer up there.

i had a friend selling them for $1200.. PLUS its 19" including tires which is about 70% left.. 1600 for 18" its kinda pricey..

so i believe 43mm for the rear is fine with the correct adapter.. but 43mm is too big for the front.. i dun really get what will happen if i install it anyway? is it gonna stick out of the fender?

 

Besides the fact that the wheels will not bolt to the car, and the offset is for front wheel drive, everything else is OK.

 

ermm.. i dun really get it.. XD so is it a go or not?

front wheel drive are usually 8" width isnt it? thats why they use offset of 40mm.. the width for the ssr gt3 im looking at is 9" for front if im not mistaken.. and 10" rear..

 

okay i tried wheel offset calculator from 1010tires.com..
the rim that fit to 350z front is 9" width with offset 31mm..
the rim that im looking at is 8.5" width with offset 43mm..
the calculator said 6mm LESS inner clearance and outer position RETRACT by 18mm.. can someone "translate" this to me to a better language?

 

8.5 +43???? I never heard of this offset for GT3 rims. That will look like sh*t. You will need a 20mm spacer.

Your numbers are wrong.

Compare to the front OEM wheel. 8.0 inches with a 30 mm offset.

You just moved the wheel 19 mm closer to the brake calliper, and the tire 19 mm closer to the strut. The outside of the tire is 7 mm farther away from the fender.

 

so.. the 7mm of the wheel will be seen outside the fender? and will spacer do the job for this case?

 

Wheel adapters plus 20-25mm spacers all around sounds like a headache. Check the classifieds, there are always people practically giving wheels away with the proper bolt patterns and offsets.
