DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM. Find out which offsets are ideal for Z`s here, on a Z forum...

Okay I will but I know absolutely nothing about wheels. I know which kind I want the TE37 replicas but what size and what offset should I get?

Hello I'm looking to get the Varrstoen TE37 replicas, but I know absolutely nothing about wheels.

Like what size and what offset should I get? Also all this fender rolling and spacer stuff seems complicated.

I just want it to look nice and easy install. All four of my wheels right now say 225/50 r17 94q.

Any help will be greatly appreciated sorry for being such a newbie!

So if I ran 19x9.5 +0 rears and 19x10.5 +12s in the front, I would need to get my rears rolled and a camber kit? The front would be fine with just rolling them?

Not sure if serious? We would def suggest running the wider width in the back. Ex: 19x9.5 fronts and 19x10.5 or 19x11 rears.

Do you plan on lowering? Do you want meaty tires or stretched? If you get the te37 replicas, your tires on the car now will not work. For example, I have 19x9.5 (+12) front and 19x10.5 (+12) rear with 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 tires. This is a staggered setup and fairly common on a Z. With the +12 offset though, you will need to roll your rear fenders.

I suggest you go take a look at some setups on rimtuck.com to get an idea of different sizes and offsets and also through this thread.

Edit: What size wheels do you want, 18's or 19's? 17's look too small on a Z.

Oops!!!! Typo sorry, haha 10.5 in the back with 0 offset and 9.5 in the front with +12 offset.

Thanks for reply! I'll get 18s then. Whats a good set up thats easy to install since I'll be doing it myself. I'll just buy new rubbers too since my current ones are a bit worn. I'm hoping not to lower but I want that option down the future in case I decide to lower. For meaty or stretched tires I don't really know the difference but I want the one thats lighter since I don't want to feel a big difference in the ride with heavier wheels.

You could go 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear with an offset of +12 if youre willing to roll your rear fenders, otherwise youll have to go with +22, but the wheels wont be as flush with the fender. As for tires, you could go with 245/40/18 front and 275/40/18.

I suggest you take a look through this thread and on rimtuck.com though. There are sooo many options you can do for wheels and tires. Maybe find a picture you like and then myself and others can further help you find the exact setup you want for your Z

i think the best offsets in 18" are +15 then 0. i could be wrong though..

CannMann21

^I just took a quick peek at the wheel marketplace and 18x9.5 come in +12 but the 18x10.5 come in +15...and then the rest of the offsets are the same throughout.

Any suggestions on how to keep my sparkly new es1's shiny and clean???

phased1

It would be best if I didn't have to roll since this is already hard enough as it is for me. But if I have no choice I'll roll. I looked through this thread and I really like this set up.



I like how you can see the entire wheel. Instead of something like this which hides the top of the wheel I don't like that.

CannMann21

^If you basically want just an "install tires and wheels and youre good to go" setup, then I would do 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear with a +22 offset. Tires you could do 255/40/18 and 285/40/18 or 245/40/18 and 275/40/18 if you want a small stretch.

phased1

Will it still look nice though?

CannMann21

Yeah. Will it look as good as +12? Depends on your tastes.

To kind of give you an idea of what +12 will look like, heres my car. I am 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 +12 on 245/35/19 and 275/35/19. +22 would be 10mm more inward. I am at stock height with rear fenders rolled.

phased1

Okay so 10mm more inward wouldn't that make it look a bit more flush?

How many psi should I pump up the wheels?

Also in the future if I get the 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear with a +22 offset set up will I still be able to lower if I wanted to?
