I reviewed the te37sl sizing list for you from rays. It really irks me anyone
would suggest anything else for a Z. It basically demonstrates they
know nothing.
So 19x10.5 +22 front and 19x11+23... Alright, I'll see if they reply to my email and go from there.

Thanks for help.

Thats actually a great wheel set, it sets you up if you want to run wide rubber. Then if you want the hella flush look you need to install spacers. When you get tired of the stretch tire thing you remove the spacers and go back to wide rubber.

I disagree terra... I fit huge tires on the above described setups.

And... Spacers are a disaster waiting to happen.

So lets say a Toyo R888 305/30-19 with -1 to -1.5 camber will fit with an even more aggressive offset!!! Big power, less camber so you have traction and you say it will fit.

I run 5mm to 20mm slip on spacers (depending on the wheel and tire) with ARP studs. I have not had an issue for the past 100k miles on my car. I have even destroyed a few wheels on rumble strips. Nothing wrong with proper spacers.

will have to agree to disagree on that. I prefer my setups to not look sunken in at all.

these are still not flush by most standards.

Right, anyone who suggests anything other than this knows nothing. Got it

Dude, realize that different people have different goals, and your setup you have in mind is not optimal for everyone.

I mean even if you're just comparing looks, you're still one man's opinion. Yes your specs listed are fine. Doesn't mean everyone else's setup is garbage.

if i was spending thousands on new wheels... i'd want the best (imo) looking setup.

why buy new, relatively weak (and old) sizing?

what would you run if you had the CHOICE wired?

please post the truth.

These do look a lot better with the stickers on, and of course the drop will help once yoyu get your coilovers. As far as the posts about the offset, it's only 10mm. Nothing a spacer can't fix. What matters is that the OP is happy about his purchase.
seems I missed this. Yup, dealing with Abdulla made spending the money fun. haha.. the coils are therefore being bought through him as well apart from another shipment that i received a few days back

In the near future I will most likely go for a 18x10.5 all around setup, with offsets that let me run a reasonably wide tire. Not looking for uberflush but I don't like spacers either. Current setup is 19x9.5 +28 front with 5mm spacer to clear akebonos, and 19x10.5 +23 rear and I have never once been disappointed with this fitment.

I'm running 18x10.5 aa +15. I've run about 5 tire combos already.
I'm really happy now w 295r 265f. I found square tires to feel a bit
Strange at speed. I'm running no spacers. Initially went this direction
To clear my r35bbk.

Re fitment on te37s - in my experience 19x9.5 +12f does not clear my
Bbk, but I know 18x9.5 +12f does. This has to do with spoke concavity
And hub displacement. The fitments I mentioned offer more clearance from
The hub.
