Rota P45R offset question
Hey guys, i just ordered a set of Rota P45Rs in Hyper Black for my black 350z. Going concave all around... the offset that they had available was +20 the rim size is 18 x 9.5 all around. Im planning to run 255/40/R18 in the front and 285/40/R18 (1.1%increase) in the rear. Do you think with +20 it would look flush? Should i have waited and gotten +30? What is the difference?

I kinda have a guess, but i never understood it fully. The 285/40 is currently mounted on the rim now and it looks HUGE... it feels like way too much rubber for that size of the rim. let me see if i can post a pic...

this is how offset works. it denotes where the back of the hub is in respect to the centerline of the wheel. in layman's terms, the higher the offset, the further the wheel will be inside the wheel well ; the lower or negative offset, the further out the wheel will be. in not sure about other models, but the stock 03 track model wheels have a +30/33 offset

I like a wider tire. If you want a street/track set-up, one can go with Toyo R888 or RA1 tires, Dunlop Star Specs, or others, but those are the ones that I run. For this dual functionality, I'd likely run the same aspect ratio front and rear as well (i.e. 275/35 all around) so that I could rotate them.

Wheels are finally on the car. What a pain in the *** it was to roll the fenders. Yes you heard it right, i had to roll the fenders because the tire was too wide... 285/40/18 with +20mm offset was rubbing on every bump. Anyway, its all better now, i think the cars looks really nice now. Check out the pics...
