just get the 275s and you'll be good to go

 

275's!

 

Buy a set of GTS like CEO350Z and run 285/35/19 in the rear, then tell us if it will rub. I will guarantee you your answer will change.

 

Well first off, keep your setup cause ... It's a good setup without any doubt I must say ... No need to get another set of wheels ... Blah Blah Blah

Otherwise, you have 2 routes you could take ...

Easy route: Just listen to all those nice folks who told you to put on 275's in rear = $

Harder route: You could roll / cut your fenders with a negative camber adjustment = $$$$$

OR....

Alternative route: If you are planning on a major face lift of the Z, just go wide body then the problem will be fully solved << That was the option I chose, Planning on running +2 offset with 295's ~ 305's if possible

As far as rolled fenders / cut fenders + 285's, it will most def. rub on a Tanabe lowering springs for sure.

LOL ROFL .... No Comment .... Will not tolerate on those who push others down / take advantage of others to advance ....

 

Roll Ur Fenders And It Will Clear With 285/35....

 

^ I have the GT-S on order and I had few questions for you. One of the reason I bought these wheels is because I wanted the aggressive look for my Z. I planned on running 285s and now I'm a little bit worry. Reading here sounds to me like 285 can work with fenders rolled. That's good. But how does it look from the back? Can we see a straight shot of your Z from the rear? also, what's your set up?

Anyone running 275s - Can you show us a pic of this stretched 275s? I think it's going to help us better.

 

Ok. This is for everyone who is considering GT-S' in the +17, +18 Offset. Here are the options and the consequences of each to my knowledge.

1. Going 275/35/19 in the rear. You might not have rubbing issues on springs with an aggressive drop. GF210, Hotchkiss, Dropzone, etc.

Pros: No rubbing. The tire will not stick out of the wheel well.

Con: Tire will looked streched. Less tire on the ground.

2. 285/35/19 This setup is good for those with less aggresive springs like Tein, etc. I would recommend that the fenders be rolled. You might not have too, but for the JIC Factor, I would definetly do it.

Pros: More tire on the ground. No streched look. Tire gap is clean.

Cons: Negative Camber, the wider the tire the more negative camber on stock components. Tires wear unevenly. The tires stickout of the fender wells by about 5mm.

3. 295/35/19 I would only recommend that if you have your fenders rolled and have an aftermarket camber kit. This way you have complete control of your camber.

Pros: Even More Tire on the ground. Full coverage of tire on the wheel.

Cons: The tire will definetly stick out. If you don't have a camber kit, your camber will be bad.

4. 285/30/19 Although you are running a lesser profile, the wheel gap will be greater. You also still run the risk on big bumps at high speeds.

Pros: Less likely to rub tire.

Cons: Less profile means less tire. Tires wear faster. You might still rub with unrolled fenders.

This is recommendation.

 

very good effort & info above.

 

once again i would like to reiterate, 275 on a 10.5" wheel is a very mild stretch. if you go with tires with bigger sidewalls like the BFG KDW its even less pronounced.

 

Thanks dude. Took me over 20 minutes from my phone. lol.

 

roll the fenders man, just do it

 

dooooo it!

wat ya waiting for, its a sick set up for sure.

hell i had a +12 on the rear with a 275/35 tire.

 

i have 285/35/19 +22 rears on gf210's with shaved fenders, fenders were shaved very lil, no rubbing. I would think +17 would fit if i shaved more off fender

 

Screw your installer , just jack it up in your driveway and bolt the wheels on. Next drive to your installer and prove to him they fit.
