tire stretching and offset help please.
hi. i want a nice stance for my z. i am plannig on getting enkei rpf1 in:
19x9.0 +18/ 19x10.0 +22. What size tires would be a good stretch? Would I need to run spacers? I am running coilovers so slamming it wouldnt be a problem but I want the correct offset and tire size to look like this:
silver 240 in this one
red z in this one.

You are going to wanna get more aggressive offset on those if you want them flush like that. I would run a 9.0 & 10.0 +0 all around
Maybe add spacers to the rear afterwards

These are my friend's wheels off his Supra that I have on my Z.They are 19x10s +22 with 15mm spacers in the rear with 275/30/19s and 19x8.5s +22 with 25mm spacers in the front with 245/35/19s. There's room for a 20mm spacer in the rear but I'm just too cheap to buy a set. Who are you getting the 19x9's from? I don't think they were available in the US without special ordering them.

Stretched tires dont mean you'll curb your wheels. Only retards that dont watch how they drive curb wheels. I have had 3 sets of Volks and 1 set of Nismo wheels DAILY DRIVEN and never curbed um.
Back on topic, if you are running a 9", 10" setup, you are going to want to stay in the single digit offset range. 235 n 265 would be a nice stretch. I would get several different size spacers so you can play with it a little. It also is going to depend on the camber you are running/ or will run when you get it setup where you want. Hope it helps

i had 19x10-5 rear on my car with tires from 255-275's on there. 255/35 for the stretch look, 275/30 for more of a contact patch.
front you can probably do with 19x9+0 or somehting with some 235/35's.
all this depends on the tire manuf, drop, and camber.
