Default Getting a set of 5x100 on the Z?

I have an opprutunity to get a set of DPE wheels for a good price. The same as the pic but in brushed instead of polished.



They came off a VW

Specs
5x100
19x9 +12
19x10 +22

From what I understand the adapters would have to be a minimum of 25mm to cover the stock lugs, this will most likely push them out too far am I correct in assuming that?

Are there any other ways to make these work or should I just give up? I have been searching but I can't seem to find anything listed on this forum about rims with such a low offset trying to adapt.

Are you going for a very stanced look with camber/stretch?

The rear will be a tight fit. Try a 255 mm tire.

You'll need to run adapters, which isn't that big of a deal. How low do you want to be? With those specs, you can run adapters and still have a fairly conservative fit.

With adapters, you'll be sitting at about 19x9 -13 front and 19x10 -3 rear. Take a look at Rimtuck and the various fitment threads on here to see what that'll look like and what it will require.

This 350Z is sitting on 19x9 -7 / 19x10 -5. Tires are 235/35 front, 245/35 rear. If you want more tire, you could run some negative camber. I think you're gonna have to stick with a 235 in the front and run some negative camber. You could maybe shave the adapters down a few mm and shorten the stock studs. Not sure on the safety aspect of that, though. I'd do some research before going down that route. If you can get 5mm off of the adapters, that'd put you really close to this pic below.

I want to but I don't want any rubbing. And I have a nismo so no fender pulling.

It has 255's already and 235 front.

I want to be able to rock these without rubbing and not too crazy of a camber. Just going to roll my fenders.

Would that be possible?

Buy another set of wherls then, these are going to take fender/camber work to run that aggressively if 25mm adaptors are your only option

Have you thought about having the wheels redrilled to a 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern?

It's not just about offsets. The fitment also depend on how much you're lowered.

I've heard of people shaving down their stock studs. As long as you have a good amount of the lugnut threaded in, it should be ok but I personally wouldn't do this.

What would happen to the structural integrity of the wheels if you do that? I wouldn't attempt this, even if it was deemed "safe."

Don't know how I feel about that.

I don't plan to slam it. Maybe 1 - 1.5" lower then stock. I already ordered adjustable camber arms for the back and have isc coilovers waiting for spring just need some wheels. Would I need to get adjustable a-arms for the front?

It's no longer my daily driver so I'm not too worried about camber wear.

Yes, you will have to get adjustable A-arms for the front. Our cars have no stock front camber adjustment.

Wouldn't it be a bigger lug pattern? i dunno.

But redrilling is a somewhat common thing from what I read. But you should always use a very reputable shop to do it. And with a bigger pattern change like this would probably need fill and redrill. With a smaller change like 5x112 or maybe even 5x120 they could probably get away with just drilling new holes.
