Default Will this offset from a vendor work?

I was told that the following offset, 19x9.5et15+19x11et15, will give the most flush fitment without rolling the fenders, I just wanted to see if anyone can chime in on this and if there is another offset for a flush fitment, could you pm me the details so that i can forward to the vendor? thanks!

you will be rolling your fenders if you put anything over a 265 on that rear, and that will be STRETCHED!

The Z will be lowered, haven't quite picked how low yet but no more than 1 inch lower than stock. It'll be sitting on HKS hypermax III sport coilovers

So this means i'm pretty screwed then using this offset? I was trying to achieve a look similar to the venaci 370Z with their "spirit" rim line.

The fronts should be fine. Keep in mind the rears will poke out 27.7mm past your stock Nismo wheels but you will gain more negative camber the more you lower it. Nevertheless, you should roll your fenders.

I see, what sizes can I safely go with then while managing to obtain an agressive stance without rolling, i'm against rolling unless I have no way around the issue.

I would ask around in the aggressive wheels threads. 19x10.5+22 in the rear seems to be the popular choice.

Depends on what tires you get. Anyone else is simply guessing or assuming.

Just like Scott said, flushness (or lack thereof) has as much to do with your exact tire choice (not just the size, as that tells you nothing...you need to pick an exact tire) as it does your wheel choice...the wheel doesn't ride on the ground after all. It all operates as a unit, none of it is in a vacuum.

No amount of rear camber is going to prevent that wheel from rubbing on a stock rear 1/4panel car, regardless of tire size. You will need to roll them (heavily). Not a big deal, just has to be planned for.

Ah i see, after doing some searching, I managed to find a member who was running the size rims I would like to run using the sizes 255/35/19 and 285/35/19, the only difference i noticed was he had a +24 front and +17 rear where as the vendor qouted me a +15 front and back. The member stated he needed those offsets to clear BBK's and since I am planning to upgrade to 14" BBK's, should I inform the vendor that I need to change my offsets? I've already calculated rolling the fenders now, there's no other way to get the wheels I want without it, just hoping that it turns out well.

Again sizes are meaningless, you need to choose a tire

Brakes - every kit has different clearances it's not one offset clears all

The tires will be Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 and the BBK that i'm leaning towards is either AP racing or the Alliance BBK 14" 6p front and 13" 4p rear combo for either BBK.\


Calin, nice setup, I assume your fenders are rolled?


Oh if anyone was wondering why I wanted somewat fat tires, its cause i'm looking to still track these and don't wanna go too fat, so far everyone says 285's are perfect in the back but is 255 a tad too big? should i go 245?

If you want to track a brand new (expensive) set of 19" wheels, you have your priorities a little mixed up. Track wheels, over time, get beat up, and 19" tires are expensive. I'd get an extra set of 17s or 18s and call it a day. Track wheels are also best, in my opinion, to have conservative offsets (i.e. high offsets, not squeezing the wheel so that it just barely clears).
