Then order those and run spacers. 5mm would put you in that ballpark - you can always add spacers and be more aggressive. Much harder to go the other direction

this was my first thought but you know, I wanted to have it done right the first time but from the looks of it I dont think I can rock those offsets and have the tire set up I want so I might have to settle for your suggestion.

will Volk do what ever custom offset you want? or are you limited to the offsets you listed? go with +7 up front and +13 out back if they custom make what you want. i have also heard the R-888 fit rather "fat" compaired to other tires so a 888 in 275mm might fit like a Nitto in a 285mm.

limited options bro....it is either that 19x9.5 +17 f and 19x10.5 +18 rears and use and 5mm spacer to bring me to +12 front and +13 rears....what do you think?

If you run a 19x10.5 +18 rear with a 285/35 you will have to roll the rear fenders. This should give you a good idea of where you want to go.

With this setup you will definitely have to roll and pull the rear fender.

I'm prepared for that actually! so no problem with that. I just hope I dont have to run more than -2 camber and most important that these offsets clear my rotora bbk.

you'll need 2 if not more camber to make those tires fit. Jetpilot needed like +30 offset on a 10" rim to keep his 305s in proper alignment (as in good track specs, not just does it fit)

if you are spending almost 700$ in rear tires, i wouldnt chance a +8 or even a +18.

and why 235 fronts? that will be so stretched and rear bias the car alot.

Thats a pipe dream, if you want to run 888's , i suggest you buy 18's and get offsets in the mid 20's

If you just posted that for an offset chart, mynismo has even more offsets than that for the GTS. I'm guessing that's the wheel you were looking at..?

that's the exact same set up I want; including the tires. The only difference is that his offsets are +17 front and +18 rears. I want my offsets to be +4 front and +8 rear with the same tires and hopefully only -2 camber.

I have Volk GT-S in this size and offset and run 245/275 Invo's. 2 degrees of negative camber is NOT going to happen with the tire sizes you posted.

My fenders are rolled and slightly pulled and I run 3.1 degrees in the front and 3.8 negative in the rear.

You can run 2 degrees of negative camber MAYBE if you go with an aggressive stretch - I'd say a 225 on the front and a 245 in the rear.

Agreed that might make it 'work', but the OP should be posting elsewhere if he wants 225s for 9.5s and 245s for 10.5s: https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...s-welcome.html
