Hey guys I need to know which offset I should go with for 06+ non brembo brakes...I know usually the lower offset, the better...but I was wondering if anybody tried this setup and cleared the 2006+ NON brembo brakes

17x9 ET35

17x10 ET18

I know the rears will clear fine..how about the front? Anybody with experience with the 17x9 ET35 please tell me if they clear 2006+ NON brembos...

thanks in advanced

 

ummm.. why such a horrible size and offset?

 

what tire sizes are you trying to run? Is this going to be your track setup?

 

lol..I knew I was going to get this response...alright heres the real reason why

this is actually going on a 370Z base model....and looking at the spec sheets, the base model 370Z looks like has carry over brakes from the 06+ 350Z....which is 12.6inches diameter rotors...so I'm sure the braking system is the same

the only main difference is, the 370Z comes with some weird front offsets...the back you can go super wide no problem...but it looks like the front is the problem...cuz some guy on the 370z forums said he ran 18x9.5 ET22 FRONT on his 370z...and it stuck outside the fender well too much...So i am like, wtf? I would have thought the 370z can handle that size/offset all day

So what do you guys think of...

17x9 ET22 255/40/17

17x10 ET18 285/40/17

 

17s on a 370 for DD? Just because the brakes are the same doesn't mean that the width and offset values work between the Z33 and Z34. The stock 370 wheels have a high offset, which is typical of Nissan. I thought you said the 17x9 was a +35 offset?

 

hmm, i'm using those exact offsets, but slightly different tires
(17x9 ET22 255/40/17
17x10 ET18 275/40/17)
I need a 3mm spacer in front to clear the brembos. it should be ok for u. The rear almost needs a fender roll, so i'm not sure about 285. I'm lowered w/ -2.1 camber in rear. Not sure how it is on the 370 though.

 

Yea but I think some people on that forum don't have a clue what they are talking about in regards to offsets. The people putting wheels on the 370z on that forum have been way sunken in where it just doesn't look right because they are getting too high of a offset.

 

17x9 +22
17x10 +18 is your best bet if 17's is what you want.

 

Looks like you will be moving the front wheel 18 mm closer to the brake calliper. Do you have 18 mm to spare?

 

Oh I thought you said 2006 350Z. What will it be tomorrow? A Maxima?

 

so in fact the 370z has just as much room to stuff wide wheels like the 350z?

i've been doing alot of reading and it seems like the design of the 370Z doesn't allow super low offsets in the FRONT, like the 350Z...I just wanted to confirm thats all

 

It actually has more room to what I have seen. Saw a 370z this week with 315s on the back already and he still had a lot of room. Without people trying it instead of guessing we will never know. Many are just running there mouths off and when they put the wheels on they are sunken in so far they don't look right.

 

well I know the rears on a 370z are no problem....i've seen pictures of huge tires on the rear...its the front that has issues

19x9 ET47

245/40/19

yes you did read right...STOCK is 47 offset...

now theres a guy who mounted 18x9.5 ET22 and said it stuck out WAY too much for the front...I don't know if hes just a wussy or what not...but I know 350Z members on here are putting 18x9.5 ET15 and 18x10.5 ET15 no issues at all

I should stop by the nissan dealership one day...and just look at it for myself to see how much clearance I have....blah

 

Why not at least 18's?? 370's dont even come with a 17" wheel. They will look way way to small and just look silly. Do the 18x9.5 22mm front with about -1.5 camber and then the 10.5 rear with a 15mm offset.

 

thanks for the input...but i'm looking at base model brakes (non brembo)...i'm wondering if the 17x9 ET22 will fit okay without spacers...Do you have any experience with the 06+ non brembos?
