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.

 

Hope you have money to fix your rims when you hit things with them.

 

Ummm... dont run over curbs - problem solved

 

+1. i dont street park much. and... enkei rpf1 arent really expensive.. lol

 

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

 

What about a 18 inch tire on a 19 inch wheel. That would be a stretch.

 

so a 20mm spacer? front and rear? fronts gonna be -2 and rears gonna be 2. thats pretty low.
what about tire size?

 

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.

 

MOST people will curb a rim if they don't have a tire to protect it. It just happens. That is why they make tires with rim protectors. Get a tire that fits the rim properly and the car.

Stretched look anyways looks gay.

 

gruppe-s? damn if i have to special order them... i dont know.. i might go with another set then.

 

thats just your opinion. i think stretched looks cool.

 

Yep it is, I guess I am old.

 

serious i see all these threads about "OMG I CURBED MY WHEEL" well stop trying to park on the curb. stick the fawk out!

single digit offset decent drop at least a 245.35/275.35 combo. comon but stretched look. if you go any smaller thats super stretched.

 

just add 10mm spacers in the front and 15mm spacers in the rear and you'll be fine btw the red z in the second pic is mine = D

 

i had 275 on a 10.5" +23 or +24wheel dropped on tein s-tech. didnt look very stretched..

 

lol. nice Z. your Z has the PERFECT stance. so if i just stuck on 10mm in the front and 15mm in the rear with 245 and 275, it wouldnt rub? my rear fenders are already rolled btw.

 

you'll be fine = D

 

thanks

 

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.
