Do whatever you want at stock height...only the rear might/will need a roll.

Option 2

andre81k 10-22-2013 09:53 PM

In this thread they are going to say go with the second setup haha. Only problem I see is the offsets too low for the width so will poke out too much. Possibly try 19x10+20 and 19x11+25 and could do a 285/30 front and 305/30 rear. Hope that helps.

jgc0726 10-24-2013 04:07 PM

Alright guys here's my setup need advice on tire

19x10 +15 front
19x11 +15 rear

On stock suspension but will lower of course and will roll fenders as well. So how BIG can I go?

mr. sparco 10-24-2013 04:36 PM

As wide as you like depending on your suspension setup.

Well I'm stock now but when I lower I just want to delete gap between tire and fender

Well with those offsets they will stick out from the fender. For the front I say somewhere in the 255-275/30 range and for the rear 295-305/30.

For reference I run the following with KW V3 & SPL camber arms & links;
HRE P43SC w/ Toyo R888 tires (Note: The R888 run big than from other brands.)
Front: 265/30-19x9.5 +20
Rear: 305/30-19x11 +25

jgc0726 10-25-2013 08:23 AM

Damm Robert that is a sweet ride...so what do u think about 255/35 or 30 and 295/35 or 30?

I would play with this calculator if I was you. You can gain a lot of good info.

To be honest it was completed several months ago and I never received a printout. :o

jgc0726 10-25-2013 10:43 AM

Alright after playing with the calculator a little bit this is what I came up with

19x10 et 15 265/30 front
19x11 et 15 295/35 rear

What do u think?

tbruner 10-25-2013 11:19 AM

Play a little more with the calculator...

Tire sizes (sidewall) should be within 3% difference front and rear. The set-up you chose is over 7% larger in the rear.

jgc0726 10-25-2013 12:03 PM

Can anybody please help me out with that I'm having a little trouble

I don't wanna go too wide in front and would like to have a 295 out back

jgc0726 10-25-2013 12:18 PM

Tbruner what offsets are u running?

Common setup is:

9.5 +15 Front width 265/35 or 30
10.5 +15 Rear width 285/35 or 30

Why set on 295? I guess you could do:

10 +25 Front width 275/30
11 +25 Rear width 295/30

I have sizes nobody wants... I'm broke so I don't have too many options.

18x8.5 +10 265/35 (too big for my wheel, I will be going back to 255)
18x10 +12 285/35

jgc0726 10-25-2013 01:41 PM

Lol we on the same boat...I already bought wheels sizes 19x10 +15 so I can go 2 ways from here either put the 19x10's up front or put them out back and go with 8.5's +15 out front, the wheels I got don't make 9's or 9.5's.

With that being said I'm just gonna go 8.5 up front and put the 19x10's in the rear and I'll go with 255/35 up front and 285/35 or 295 not sure.

tbruner 10-25-2013 02:28 PM

Then do 10" +15 in the front. You will regret 8.5", I do...

What wheels are you looking at?

Well like you I'm broke as well so I bought xxr 531 can't afford high end wheels.

Why will I regret 8.5?

mr. sparco 10-25-2013 06:17 PM

Why else? It'll look like dookie.

jgc0726 10-25-2013 06:26 PM

Lol well I made up my mind ima go 19x10 front and 19x10 rear +15 all around and in tires I'll just go with 255/35 front and 275/35 rear

tbruner 10-28-2013 07:33 AM

That's better, but those tire sizes wont allow you to post in here... :gotowned:

You could go bigger. I would try 265 F & 285 R

Robert_K 10-28-2013 09:40 AM

Lost me at xxr wheels.

Buying cheaper wheels for a cheaper car isn't that bad of an idea. Robert has HRE wheels on an 03 350z. How is selling that car for $30,000 going? Not everyone buys rims that cost half the price of their car.

jgc0726 10-28-2013 01:06 PM

Unlike me I'm broke as hell and can't afford 4000 dollar wheels

Funny because I accepted an offer of $25k w/o my HRE's but the buyer's finances fell through.

I'm not going to get into the debate of knock-off wheels again. :rolleyes: Everyone know my stance on them already. They suck and hurt the market. Lastly, my pricing my Z at $30k is to keep it out of hands like yourself. I marketed is at $30k for the buyer I think will keep it in good shape and treat it right. Not someone living paycheck-to-paycheck and buys cheap parts.

Fixed. Get your pricing right on HRE wheels.

Well ain't no need for that don't plan on wasting 6000 dollars on no type of wheels anytime soon unless I win the lotto and not everybody is as rich as you

First; HREs are not a waste, XXRs are.
Second; Don't have to win the lotto to afford HRE wheels. A lot of owners are not lotto winners. They are hard workers.
Third; I am not "rich." I just manage my money better than you do. IE: I don't "waste" my money on XXR wheels or knock-off parts. :icon38:

Jcope 10-28-2013 03:29 PM

You did waste your money. I am assuming you spent a lot more than $30,000 on your car. Oh well no need to argue. I have stock wheels by the way. Also you should just buy a Porsche or GTR or something if you want to avoid cheap wheels. I can buy a 2003 350z for like 8k. You are going to have teenagers with them.

First off u don't know wtf I do with my money 2nd just cuz u can afford high end parts doesn't make u any better than anybody and damm sure doesn't mean idk how to manage my money. U can afford high ends parts good for u but don't talk ****

I agree it wouldn't make sense for someone who paid 10k for their Z to buy expensive wheels. Everyone has a different budget.

But not everyone here bought their cars used or feel that their cars are worth any less than what they paid for it. Just because it is worth so much on paper or X market value, doesn't mean it's worth less to the owner. I paid premium for mine brand new and barely have any miles on the car. I own well over 10k, just on wheels alone (multiple sets) not including tires. It is worth it to me but wouldn't make sense to someone who isn't as passionate about cars.

MM'08_350Z 10-28-2013 05:21 PM

Already people I'm almost out of rubber (Tires):icon8: and I need Moar aggressive stance. Alright, I got 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rear +12 offset all around. I currently have 245/275 I am thinking 265/30front and 295/30Rear. What are your thoughts on these sizes? Opinion and criticism is accepted.

- Manny

pyshin 10-28-2013 05:42 PM

265/30 & 285/30 or 275/30 & 295/30. Just a thought.

What specific brands/models are you looking at?

I completely understand that. I just don't get why it bothers some people when others buy a $1,200 set of rims. P.S your Z is one of my favorites. Every time people say something against white I show them your Z.

AdvanZ33 10-28-2013 06:27 PM

It's entertaining to see these arguments here and not just the stretched tires thread.

mr. sparco 10-28-2013 06:27 PM

It's the support of replica or cheap quick cash companies that ruins it for the legit quality manufacturers I guess. Doesn't really bother me much as I tend to swing back and worth between new high priced quality, cheap brands, and or used parts.

MM'08_350Z 10-28-2013 07:07 PM

The brand I was interested in we're the Toyo R888s if not I'll just go for the same sizes but more comfortable like some Bridgestone PS2s.

I was just informed that my car was not supposed to be in the aggressive wheels and stretched tires thread so I will be more than happy to post my car in the aggressive wheels and fat tires thread!!!

^haha I think you're kinda in a no man's land as far as your tire sizes, not stretched but not fat. Nice though

MitsuHybrid 10-30-2013 02:36 PM

Its a 275 :/

mr. sparco 10-30-2013 02:42 PM

Hmm, mine are 275/35 on 19x11 +10 and I posted in the stretched thread, I got compliments. lol Tires aren't wide enough for this thread though. You need to post more MItsu, car looks clean.

MitsuHybrid 10-30-2013 02:45 PM

Damn it; damn the devil to hell...I will just go cry in my lonely corner then...lol :dunno:

pyshin 10-30-2013 02:57 PM

^^^ LOL Mitsu just start a "Happy Medium" Thread & picture-whore the sh*t out of it :bowrofl:

MitsuHybrid 10-30-2013 03:01 PM

LOL...Thinking about it...What should it be called...Official "If you really dont know if you have fat tires or stretched tires and dont know where you belong then come on in this thread" thread...Sounds good right, has a certain ring to it if you ask me...lol

taryon 10-30-2013 03:55 PM

that LMS Z with cf everywhere looks great!

MitsuHybrid 10-30-2013 04:05 PM

Then your good, if your talking about the front tire. You car maybe "Well fitted, aggressive with average tires" the wheels and tires do look good, lots of parts on the car look good.

I think is 265 minimum front, really no minimum rear since it will be wider than the front.

MitsuHybrid 10-31-2013 06:18 AM

Yeah, The front im running a 245...Next year when i get my flares done the wheels are going to be getting rebarrled. So im looking at some pretty crazy numbers for next year...I guess ill be pretty fat by then...lolz...Thanks for the love none the less though!

twistiert 11-04-2013 03:46 AM

Mitsu what's your wheel specs and tire specs? That's the exact look I'm going for.
