Default Owners with Crazy/Aggressive Offsets

owners with that crazy/aggressive "flush" look your help is needed. I just recently put new wheels and tires on my car.

front tire are 245/35/19 and rear are 275/35/19

rims are 19 inch 8.5 wide in front and 9.5 wide in rear. Offsets are +25 front and +22 rear

I was thinking about getting the tanabe nf 210 sprngs and was wondering when i take it in the shop to get it alligned, if i get ask for negative camber will that help with bringing out the tire?

If not and i end up getting spacers, i will obviously rub and would have to get fenders rolled. I have SEARCHED and found the aggressive thread but that only showed pics so your help would really be appreciated!!

Get the springs installed and post some pictures. Then someone can offer some legit assistance as to exactly what mm spacers you are going to need.

Sacrificing a proper alignment for a flush look is so stupid.

hmm thanks for the advice

someone told me though that when they realign the car after they put springs on, having little negative camber was ok or at least the amount they suggested

heres mine.

I think the nf210s will lower the car >1" therefore you will need a rear camber kit to get the car back within factory specs...as the oem camber arms are only adjustable within some tenths of a degree.

The more you drop your car the more camber you will get and the more sunken in the wheel will look.

19 x 8.5 +25 and 19 x 9.5 + 22 are not considered aggressive for a 350z.

When you do get the car lowered naturally there will be a slight increase in the amount of negative camber that your car will have. Why you might ask for more I am not so sure but it will make your wheels look really tucked in according to the specs that you have mentioned earlier.

If your end goal is too achieve the "flush" look then you will have to buy spacers.

if yer gonna keep those wheels, get some 10mm spacers if u want aggressive, and if u want stretched, yer gonna have to run like... 205 front and 225 rear.

it seems like for good aggressive offset/stretched tire on a Z/G the nicest seems to be 19x10 19x11 +0 with like.. 245 front 275 rear. i think ima do something like that once i sell my GTS.

10mm spacers aren't going to do jack. you're setup is still going to look weak because your wheels aren't wide and the offsets are bad.

if you want an aggressive look, you might want to consider a smaller tire size and wider wheel. a few degrees camber isn't too bad. i dont think you'll necessarily need coilovers, but most springs wont be able to drop your car a whole lot.

and yes, roll those fenders, but dont cut them. fold them if you have to, and even pull it out a bit if you think you'll need it.

i see thanks for advice

my tires are 245/35/19 front and rear 275/35/19 rear, they are pretty big i dont think i could lower more than 1.5. Right now if i lower it about 1.2 and get spacers i think it will rub

i dont think my offsets are tht weak are they? whats the disadvantage of spacers and wont 25mm work?

the offsets are okay, but because of the width of the wheels, the look is still going to be conservative. with any negative camber your wheels WILL look tucked.

Wheel should fit car. Not car should fit wheel.

Hint: Buy a wheel that has the "aggressive" offsets and then your car will be legit.

Its not the wheel manufacturers' fault. In all honesty you picked the wrong wheel for the look that you are trying to achieve. I don't know what your budget was at the time of your wheel purchase but I am sure with a little more research pre-purchase you might have been able to find something that fit your goals (price wise and visually).

i think i ended up spending around $2200 roughly i think w/o locks

the tires are included in price

i searched around and i was going to buy the xxr 006 but i heard they are shitty wheels from a lot of people so i found 5zigen, thats basically all i found and thats what i got recommeneded for mesh wheel

the front lip comes around 2 1/4 and rear is 3 1/4
