These are questions that you are going to have to get with the manufacturer about, it is impossible for any of us to say what would work for you if we don't know what (wheel specs) i.e. width, offset etc... that you are working with. I would have to say that if you are going with a 20" wheel, you should be fine with a 20x8.5-9 (FRONT) and a 20x10-11 (REAR). You are more than likely getting a 2-3 inch lip in the front with a 4 inch lip in the rear which should be sufficient. As far as the offset is concerned, with these specs, you don't want it to be too high, I say keep them below +20 if all possible, but this is something like I said before that you are going to have to work out with the manufacturer. If all goes well, and you do it right, you wont need spacers. Homework is key... Hope this helps.

Thumbs down

Ok first off, Lexani????

Second, You can easily fit a 20x9.5 and 20x11 given the offsets are correct. You could probably even fit a 20x10 and 20x12 if the offsets are perfect and you're willing to do a fair share of fender/suspension work. I'm willing to bet that Lexani doesn't make wheels this size with the offsets needed and they cater to the...ahem...ghetto market. I would look it up, but quite frankly I do not want to go to Lexani's site as what has been seen cannot be unseen. The fact that you want to put Lexani's on a 350z is bewildering.

As far as below +20 offsets...I'm not sure if I can agree with that as this is the setup (20x9.5/20x11) that I have. While iForged doesn't release their offsets, I've roughly measured them out to be about between +20 to +25 front and rear which is pretty flush (read: not stupid flush) and experiences light rubbing during full suspension compression dips and turns, and that's with cut and rolled fenders. Unfortunately I don't have equipment on hand to measure any more accurately than that. I'm running 245/275's which has a slight stretch front and rear, with enough room that I could probably fit a 255/285 combination as well. Any lower offsets than that and you're going to have to do a good deal of fender pulling on top of a roll and/or extreme tire stretching.

Please revise your thought of putting Lexani's on a 350z. **** would probably weight 40+ lbs per rim and look retarded while doing it.

Nicely put Done Deal DR. I had 20x9 fronts and a 20x11 rear with similiar offsets on a 245/275 setup. With this setup, it is unlikely fenders would have to be rolled and/or cut, unless like you said the OP runs a bigger width or a more aggressive offset in which case the tires would have to be stretched. Have you tried searching around the forums OP, there are alot of people selling wheels here of better quality for about the same price if not less than what you would be spending on those Lexanis. But hey, to each their own. If you like it, go with it. you have to look and drive that Z everyday.

OP, I wish you luck on you're search, even though I predict this topic to head south fairly quickly.

I will leave you with this note though, please refrain from creating a 4th thread on 20inch wheels. Keep all you questions related to this topic in this thread only. A 4th thread will result in time out in the sand box. Enjoy the boards and happy surfing...


My350z staff,

Please don't put that garbage on your Z. Everywhere I go here there's some retard wearing a baseball cap sideways doing the limp wrist in his POS late 80's caddy wearing 20" Lexani rims and it makes me want to take an infant to a football field and punt it through the field goal.
