So I came across an awesome deal on a set of wheels and I've been looking through old posts about tire sizes, vdc, offsets, and all the other factors that come into play on the Z. Just to sum things up real quick... I'm looking at a set of 18x9, and 19x9.5 with a 24mm offset in the front, and a 35mm offset in the rear. Basically I'm looking for clarification on.

A: I'm going to need small spacers in the rear to sit somewhat flush?
B: 245/40-18 and 275/35-19 should give me no stretch, clearance, somewhat equal sidewall height, and should allow a less than 3% variance from stock so I won't have issues with the VDC/TCS?
C: Will work with a small drop such as Tein S-Tech's.

I've run through this setup several times and I'm just looking for some reassurance that I'm not missing anything, and all the sizes will indeed work together. I'd really hate to order all of this and have one of those moments when I go to put the wheels on the car. lol

I also looked around for photos of a 18/19 setup and found very few. If anyone can post up a few pics, or supply me with a link to a thread that I may of overlooked I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

 

Great idea and setup, but you will probably want a 20mm rear spacer.

 

Almost the same as the stock GT/Nimso setup, except the rear is a 19x10. I think the offsets are almost the same too.

 

going to be sunken in a good amount. i'd save and get a set of wider wheels so that you don't have to buy spacers and mess with all that

 

Yea I was thinking the same thing... But with the huge savings that I'm getting on the wheels. I think I'll bite the bullet and just throw some spacers on the rear. lol

Thanks for the replies!

 

Crappy fitment and spacers. Just get replicas

 

go for it then!

if you're going for that "flush/semi-flush" look, you will need 15-20mm spacers on all 4 corners.

 

Stock Nismo's come with some thing close to this setup! Not hard to see what they'll look like.

 

Definitely think an 18/19 stagger could look really good, but if you're trying to make it pretty flush you'll need some spacers.
