Default I need wheel experts to chime in!!!

Ok some might call me crazy. i may get flamed...whatever i came up on a great deal on some rims. Now i just need to know if this is even possible. Rims are used with some crazy numbers
fronts 19X10.5 -11
rears 19X12 -30

Weds Kranze JDM VIP rims.

with fender pulling...camber adjustments...etc can this be pulled of on a Z?






i really like the VIP look so let me know

That is really pushing it...

Compare fitment with this setup with only Front: 19x10, -4 Rear: 19x11, -16. So you maybe able to pull something really extreme off for show but daily driven Id say you are well beyond the limits. Unless you cut/extend your fenders beyond just a basic pull.

While I don't care for those wheels at all, I'm not going to flame you for the style...different strokes for different folks. I will flame you for being re-re enough to buy something like wheels without even knowing if they will fit--and it wasn't like they are even CLOSE. You would need a widebody to pull those off.

I'd bet they would be very aggressive even on a widebody.

Just about any wheels can be made to fit on the 350Z. So put them on the car.

dude why? you wouldnt be able to drive your car. you would have to run super camber like 7-8 degrees just to fit. and that point with a stretched tire you will be riding on that small sideway and the lip will almost be on the ground. thats way to extreme. pass

i have -8 front and rear at -5 camber and thats crazy... i'll post pics later to pwn everyone.

Who was it that said "Never buy ICW (I couldn't wait) wheels"? I would apply that directly to the OP.

Always research these things before you drop the money on them.

+1. I almost got some ICW's until I did some research. I'd rather wait and have it done right instead of rushing. To the OP nice rims though.

thats definitely a little too extreme for stock bodied car (unless of course you want the car to be undrivable). It would look very nice with a clean widebody though. Those are some crazy sizes.
