Default first set of rims

hey guys im guna be picking up my first set of rims for my z. the size of the rims are 19x9.5 +28et (front) and 19x10.5 +11et (rear). my question is will these rims fit on the z without having to roll the fenders? and also i dont really know too much about wheel spacers but would these need them?

depends on drop, tire size, camber.

the 10.5+11 might rub in the rear, the fronts should be fine though

Default rims

well the thing about wide rims like that is when you make hard corner turns or just making a 20 mph turn into a street your traction control system will come on...because the cars thinks its losing grip............the rims are too wide...anyways thats my issue when i got some 19 with same spec like urs...

best option is to roll the rears. its not a hard process and in the end is def worth doing just incase of rub. with those offsets and that size rim you might want consider doing it. you might be a little far out so you may need a roll

That will work. Just stretch the rear tires.

I'll bet having the wrong tire size on wide/any wheels will more likely cause that to happen.

Dont give advice when you dont know what you are talking about.

His TCS is angry because he has the wrong size tires on. It has nothing to do with width.

OP, I would run a spacer on the front like 15mm or so. That will make the front offset +13 which is obviously much closer to matching the +11 rears.

You have a fairly aggressive setup. You will want to roll the rears. Once you do, you could probably run a tire size like 245/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear.

As others have said, this is due to the tires sizes on your wheels, not the size of the wheels themselves.

OP - the rears will be a tough fit, do you know what size tires are on them already or have you begun to think about tire sizes? As David said, you may need to run the "stretched tire" look, which means you put a smaller tire than is typically recommended given the wheel width.
A 10.5" wheel should have a 285-sized tire on it at a minimum. 275 will have a little stretch, 295 would be ideal, 305 would be ok also.

I say roll your rears and run some beef on the rear but thats just my opinion. On offsets its better to go low than high on a Z

I was wondering when someone would chime in about the awkward offset variance. definitely get a spacer for the front.

Depends on what size tire. Our 305/30/19 on 19x10.5 +28 is very close (no roll). There is room on the inside, it's tight on the outside.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

As for wheel size, front could stand to have a spacer. Rear size is aggressive and would work, but would require to modify rear fender if you decide to drop the car. You would also have to run some negative camber depending on tire size.

Give us tire brand and sizes and we'd be able to give you a better answer.

I run 11" rear wheels and have no issues with TCS coming on. It's about tire size and rolling diameter and not width.
