Gents,

First of all, I have to commend you all for such a great forum you have here! This site has more info and help for the 350Z/G35C than anyother place.

Now what I need help with. I am getting a set of GL 57F-Pros for my G35 Coupe 6MT straight from Ray's Japan. (19x10.5 and 19x9.5) The thing I need to know is what should the proper offsets be to achieve the nice lip shown on the RX-7 (Hopefully you guys know what car im talking about.). It was stated on the bottom of the pic that the car had:

here are the specs for the RX:
F - 18X9 +18 235/40
R - 18X10 +22 275/35

The offsets for the Rx7 give the rear 87mm lip, and the front 68mm lip. Are these offsets possible on the 350Z/G35C? The lip on the rear is just about over 4" and that is what I'm looking for. If you have any advice what offset the 350Z/G35C needs for these rims that would be great. Also if I order the rims with the same offset as the Rx7, what size spacers would I need to mount the rims on?

You guys are the best.
Thanks

 

The offsets for my volks are +22 all the way around, but im not sure what the offsets are like for the g...u might wanna call mackin to make sure.

 

The offsets in 19"are not as good as the 18" 57f-pros IMO

you could use the same sizes on the RX-7 but you would have to roll your fenders.

In 19" it looks like you could go -
19x9.5f +19 61mm lip
19x10.5r +17 86mm lip

this would get you the lip, but you would have to roll your fenders and the wheels will stick out past the body a bit.

some guys have TE-37's in
19x9.5f +22 and 19x10.5r +22

They stick out pretty far, and you'd be out 3 to 5 more mm.

 

Do you think if I went with:

19x9.5f +19 61mm lip
19x10.5r +17 86mm lip

I would need 5mm spacers to keep it from rubbing the calipers? Or is it fine with those offsets that it would miss the calipers by a mm or 2?

Thanks again!
