275 is about as wide as I'll go. I like the 17" RPF1s and got a good deal on them so that's why I'm double checking. The wheels should clear even with brembos but might give an issue with a big brake kit. Oh yeah and I have SPC camber arms in the back, not like it makes a difference with this fitment.

It's a good setup, great for canyons, autocross and roadcourse use.

If this question was phrased to me, then the answer is yes.

Im trying to figure out exact how much wheel I can fit under the car. And without any of the fender to lip stuff the stance guys like. My end goal is to get a 335/30/18 on the car with an 11.5-12" wide wheel.

So my TE37SL's just got delivered today. And I am looking at rubber now. I have been doing some research on here and feel somewhat confident. Just need approval from the pro's.


Let me say this. I'm looking for a meaty tire setup. I don't like the stretched look at all. So I guess I have multiple questions. Will it have a stretched look? Will it rub? Will I have any VDC issues? From my research I "think" I should be good. Worried about the rear rubbing tho.


- 2007 350Z
- No Roll
- Lowered on Swift Springs (-1.2F, -1.0R)
- SPC Rear Adjustable Camber Arms installed already (don't remember what camber is set at, it was within OE specs tho)
- Z1 Adj. Front Upper Control Arms ordered (not yet installed, will be before new rim/tire install)


Front: 18x9.5 +22 offset (255/40-18)
Rear: 18x10.5 +22 offset (285/40-18)


Thanks guys

Thanks Trav. That's what I thought. What do you think about the tire sizes? Do you think they will look stretched?

May need a slight rear roll

Rear tire size is fine, but 275/40-18 also works great and has a lot more availability

Thanks gents for the responses! Much appreciated! Rims came in yesterday! WOOHOO!

@terrasmak - After looking at the rim/tire calculator on here, the 285/40 kept me closer to the stock OD. Ordered them last night. The 285/40's were only $5 more than the 255/40's. They had to order them all anyway. But I will keep that in mind about the 275's. Would I have any issues with VDC with those 275/40's, you think?

No problem with VDC, either size.

To visualize the fit, here's mine in same configuration (mine are 19s but almost exactly the same overall diameter and width being 35 aspect): https://my350z.com/forum/2003-2009-n...l#post10881561

As was mentioned, you'll likely need a roll. Can't tell you for sure because I didn't roll my fenders for the wheels pictured at link above; but these +22s fit almost the same as the RPF1 9.5 +15s I DID roll them for so best to figure on rolling.

Thanks for confirming that Mic! And for the visualization! That's a nice collection of rims and tires you have! Lol


No worries. I already have a fender roller on order and should be here soon! Thanks again guys for all your feedback!

2 × 18x9 +35
2 x 18x9.5 +15

spc rear camber arms, new springs and roll bars coming in the future with possible .5 - 1" drop. These are used RPF1s with 235/40/18 tires on all four and I plan on going 245-275 stagger setup once the tires need replacement. Any issues? I need a 20mm spacer for the front to get a flush look right? How about 17x9+22 and 17x10+18 instead with 255/285 tires?

gram lights 57cr 18x9.5 +22 or +12 (havent decided on offest up front) 18x10.5 +22 rear. Idk how to figure tire size out but figured i would run something like 275/35/18 rear and 245/35/18 up front. Cat will be stock height for the forseeable future. with just sway bars and end links at the moment.

Run a +12 up front, add a 10mm rear spacer to make the rear +12 . Then just add properly sized tires like 245/40-18 front and 275/40-18 rear.

You can always run 10.5 all around with 275/35-18 front and rear

Default 235/45-17 rear

Found a good deal on some 235/45-17 and one of my rear tires is dry rotted and leaking sure getting low on tread so it's time to replace I have an all stock 2004 350z base model stock wheels will they work on the rear? Right now I'm running 235/50-17 if I'm correct these are an inch taller same width
