thats right.. these are way lamer then a set of 18 Varrstoens.
Right. I dont drift or race.. The only way? how about YOUR way.. you do you.. ill take care of me dude. Never ceases to amaze me the sh# t that comes out of peoples mouth online..
and A Chrysler? Yeah.. thats what i bought.. 2k dollar 8 inch wide chrome 22s at the mexican tire shop.. theyre negative offset forged three piece rims... hilarious.
K, next.
ANYWAYS...
to the guy who said " just bolt em up if you already bought them... yeah ur pretty right.. thats about where im at.. just figured id post here to see if i could get my answer ahead of time..
for the question i asked ( which was not if anyone approves) ... what are the pitfalls of/is anyone running 9.5 at zero offset up front.. if anyone does have experience w this, id sure love to hear about it before i start cutting things and buying parts i may not need...
HELP is appreciated.

dude.. terrible?
Not so much. The only fitment difference im asking about is the fronts.. my fitment in the rear is exactly the same as the Gs.
My issue is that the wheels are one offs and i may not be able to get wheel centers w a more positive offset from IForged anymore.
I can easily have the front over fenders unbolted, cut, split and reglassed to bring them out.. but itd be really sweet just to bolt the wheels on, drop some camber back in and leave it dropped down on my Stances as is.. w no body work.
Again its not the VW flush look thats been out for 10 years, but this is an aggressive wheels thread.. id call this pretty aggressive in my book.
IMO i guess.
Anyways, if anyone has any input on running a 9.5 at zero offset in front, i appreciate it.

you put a pic of a G35 with 22's (i assume) and think it will look good on your Z? G35 is about the same size as a GTR. 350z is not nearly as big as the two. I hope it works out for you, but i doubt it will look good. i understand this is the stretch and aggressive thread......but it's also a my350z forum. 350z as in sports car

for someone with a "haters gonna hate" sig you sure can't take criticism very well. If you dont like opinions and just "do you" then dont talk about your car in a public website. Keep it to yourself and "do you"

As you requested:
a 9.5 +0 will fit just fine, ive had a 10 -6 as well as my current a 10.5 -18 both have tire stretch both fit under my rolled fenders, a 9.5 +0 is immensely sunken compared to both my setups and will fit just fine with no work to your fiberglass fenders. I recommend you test fit them prior to purchase because are steering knuckles aren't exactly huge and you could run into the problem of the wheel not fitting between the control arm and hitting it directly. SO yes a 9.5 +0 will fit. But to your wheel size its questionable to a 19 or a 18 easy as pie.

Props to amoney for helping a newbie
plus he is being different from the crowd by doing his own thing and imo hes doing a good job i really like his Z cuz its unique wether its the paint or wheels, we can all talk **** about his ride but damn its just a picture we are judging.....i'm more than positive if any of us saw his ride in person we'd love it

yep.. its not that im butt hurt over the criticism at all really.. believe me.. what im doing to my car aint for everyone.
BUT..sometimes ( since i log on here pretty much every day) is that it just gets old to hear the isht talk, especailly outta nowhere... thats all.. just got old, probably had a sh#tty day at work too haha.
Sometimes i gotta snap a little. Its sunday, im not all hopped up today.. its all good.. no hard feelings haha.
If it was a one time post issue, yeah..thatd b super gay of me to be bent outta shape.. but like the quote above says.. if we all saw ea other on the fwy, wed all tell ea other " Dude ur z is sick..no, yours is too bro"... and be cool as hell w ea other.
Yes the internet does weird things to our attitudes for sure.
SO that being the case, i truly appreciate the input about what I should expect.
I guess I find out Tuesday anyways.. hopefully we can get em on the car this week and be done.. cant friggin wait.

hey i forgot to ask.. when your that c,lose to the fender.. how does it affect your driving? Like when is it really an issue, id assume just when your turning slowly into a driveway, curb etc... am i right? Not a big deal or what..
should fit the steering knuckle just fine luckily.. they are off a G35, same parts. Good lookin out tho for sure.

Only time you need to be worried in when reversing...
The tire thread will/might catch/snag on the fender causing it to "buckle"
Only on uneven/lumpy ground...
Happen once in a parking structure for me...
Other than that you'll be good as long the fender is flared enough to lock the wheels fully without touching!
