Alright, let the flaming begin to the... "noob," well, new to my350z that is.

No, I don't plan on doing your standard 350z "build.


I'm bagging it. Not with a shitty airlift kit, but a track-bag setup through airRex.

It's a height(height depends on how much air pressure, therefore an infinite range of custom tailored spring rates). AirRex bags are also dampening adjustable(12 settings per corner).

A friend of mine tracks his GTI on airRex and it is a reliable bag setup. His setup also handles better than a coilover system under the 2.5k range.

Management will all be done through accuair and their touchpad. I'd rather pay more for reliability and piece of mind.

I want air so I can fit a wider wheel/tire setup, plus I like the practicality of it. I drive low. It's addicting, but it also puts your suspension at the wrong angles. With air, i can drive low and air up to get over an obstacle and raise it to a performance preset when i feel like taking the twisty road home or going to the track. Yes, an alignment would need done to keep it spec, but I have a lifetime alignment set up through a local shop.

Why I'm posting is that I have a question. Who are the z's on bags? Are there any of you with a wide(11/11.5) square setup? What's the "perfect" offset for an 11.5 upfront without any inner clearance issues? I'm not worried about outer clearance as much... Fenders can be pulled or widened. I know a 10.5 et 15 sits pretty flush upfront to the fender, but is there any clearance on the inside?

My goal is to have this all done over winter (i have a daily/winter/beater)

My z is still stock, but I do have the abilities to do all of this on my own and the fitment game isn't exactly new to me.

I've been waiting to mod it until after i get all of the information I need to order parts. (And the new job that ill have by mid-oct, so my build WILL get done).

Any help on that wheel setup would be appreciated. I'll be running 275/35-19 Falken 452's.

Thanks!

 

10.5 +15 up front is not really flush, if you look at the pic i just posted in the 18 inch wheel thread you can see my 10.5 +20 setup that requires around -3 front camber to keep it from rubbing. I mounted my 10.5 +15 setup up front and needed -3.2 and a slight pull up front to clear.

 

Thanks for the input, but your pic shows a very meaty tire. I personally am into a bit of stretch. It offers much better response and steering feel(imo). The 285 youre running on a an 18x10.5 is bigger than the rubber I want on an 11 or 11.5.

Thats a HUGE difference when it comes to clearance issues.

And before someone says ill need at least my fenders rolled, thats nothing to worry about. A good friend of mine has an eastwood roller.

 

275 on an 11?

This is the thread for you:

Saw it. Also, thanks for input...

 

in.. lol.

 

Actually, what's funny is how close minded most of you are when it comes to modifying a car.

Just because it sits pretty, doesn't mean it can't have a turbo.

 

dude i said IN as in scubscribed to your thread.
(This is hilarious aimed at me of all ppl btw.. lol.
please dont make generaliations about me.... You only serve to disprove your own point. )

Regardless, and back ON TOPIC...Some of us are far past the planning stage you appear to be in and will certainly be in the group you have "asked for help" from here and surely will again in the future.

Now STFU and mod your car. lol.

OP - Are your goals to more or less maximize inner and outer clearance?

 

1) If you're low on coils or low on bags same camber and fitment applies

2) You want the stretched look then that thread has everything you need

If you want people to help you in the future stop and do some searching/research on your own
