Looks like I'm going 19x8.5 F // 10.5 R with 245's in front and 305's in the back.

Will my fenders need to be rolled/cut on STOCK suspension?

 

Try it and let us know What offset are your wheels?

 

With 10½" +22 rear wheels and 285 tires, I had to get mine rolled. You're looking at an extra 10mm on both sides, so I'd say it's a safe bet they will. Do a search on 305 in this forum and I'm sure you'll find some others who have tried it.

 

more than likely but it all depends on the drop, alignment and offsets of the wheels. id get at least a 255 up front if you are going 305's in the rear. i run 255/35 front and 305/30 rears.

edit: oh yeah.. FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU stretched tires.

 

Yea I'm gunna have to bump up to 255 in the front.

The offset of the wheel is 25 i believe. Cordon Cr-10's.

d2autosport is doing everything for me. I'm just worried about fenders and also whether my car will look like a 4x4 with 305's

 

why would it look like a 4x4? a 30's series tire has very little sidewall even with a 305. its gonna look mean like sports car is suppose to look. roll the fenders and you wont have to worry.

 

did you have stock suspension when you put your 305's on?

 

indeed sir...INDEED...


OP - just get them rolled - you are going to need it anyway after getting a drop...which I hope is in the near future..

 

I kno i kno....but money is a concern right now. Already out on a limb for the wheels to begin with

 

Fenders rolled should not be more than 80 bucks.... I would pay that vs another set of 305 tires if you ask me...

 

yes you will need them rolled and pulled.

 

Oh really? Damn i was under the impression it would be more.

Kid i know's slammed vtec had fenders cutting into his tires. So he was gunna get his rolled or cut. He told me 300-600 for cut rolled and repainted is what he was paying

I guess rolling on its own is much cheaper. Where do i even find a shop who does that?

Also, do you think i'll need front + rear rolled? Or just rear? (b/c my front left fender was hit and its bent inwards so it probably cant be rolled)

 

no pulling necessary. im dropped on stances and i cant get a finger between the tire and fender. im running about -1.8 camber so im well within spec and i get zero rubbing. plus i run r888's which generally have fatter sidewalls.

 

^^^+1

and you will need to do just the rears OP.. If you were local I would knock it out for you...GL on your search...SRSLY - 80 bucks or less...and make sure you dont go to some mom and pop shop that uses a bat ok? HEAT GUN IS A MUST...

 

thank you sir

I couldn't find anyone local to do it, so I rented the kit from this guy. Something like $83 after shipping. Had a friend operate the heat gun while I used the tool. We went REALLY slow and it took us about 2 hours to do both sides about as flat as you're going to get without having to do body work. Pretty easy stuff.

FYI, I didn't need to roll with 18x10.5 +15mm with 295/30 and stock suspension. But the car looked stupid. Like as in drove me nuts stupid. So I spent a little more and did what was necessary to get the car lowered some. Much better, but rolling was NECESSARY for me.

 

^^^ dont forget - you have put down a deposit of 250 bucks..

 

I'm running a 19x10.5 +22 rear with 305 on stock suspension and can still fist my gap

 

Correct. He did it all through Paypal and I used my Amex for extra protection, but he gave the refund right away when he received the kit back, so it was all transparent. Very happy with the experience.

 

drop versus camber correction makes a HUUUUGE diff on the room between the fender and that wheel top in the rear of the Z. I have stance LX (all the way up in the back..... ) and even w lower camber bars installed i had some pretty serious camber... toe makes a giant difference in the overall alignment back there too. I had a full string up aligment done and got the rear to 1.5 degrees negative and toes removal bolts put in.. poretty straight up and down........

....and the 9.5 wheel ( +25 offset) w 275 30 20 tires rubbed w a 5mm spacer.. removed spacer, no more rub.. so thats not a huge tire or wheel..anda 5mm spacer aint much wiggle room.

The issue w the fender roll is that its really hard to do w out creasing the paint.

SO alot of ppl will tell you its cheap becuase they are backyarding it ( not knocking that.. thats how i roll anyways ha) and some places will tell you its alot ; tidy work, repaint etc..

just my 2 cents is all.

( It ended up that I went 305 but run widebody and low offset now, so Intense cut it all out, folded it up and welded mine back to clear the whole tire. I did not wana back yard that as I usually would. )
