19x9.5 & 19x10.5 +22 offet front and rear I was not aware that they made a +12 offset. The car is not lowered there is minimal rubbing only over turning a corner really hard or a heavy dip other than that normal driving it is fine. Mind posting some pics of yours I would be interested in seeing the +12 offset

Where did you buy yours from, they gave you the wrong info on your offsets. I can tell you this right now, your front is not 19x9.5 +22, it got to be 19x9.5 +12, I know many others with 19x9.5 n 19x10.5 +22 all around setup, there is no lips on the front, only the cancave looks.

"HaNkYs_Z" is correct on this one. I have the 19x9.5 19x10.5 +22 offset set up. my fronts have almost no lip just concave spokes.....it looks like you have +12 up front. Look on the inside of your wheel and there should be a RAYS sticker with the size and offset. Looking at the pictures again you just might have 10.5 +22 all around ??????? Who cares as long as you are happy

Hmmm interesting I did not catch that when I picked them up because I specifically asked for +22 all around. It is 19 x 9.5 in front with the +12 offset. I wonder if this is going to cause any type of issues later on if I decide to lower the car....

Since yours are rubbing already with stock height, you should know the answer to your question already. I am curious, Who did you buy it from anyway?

I knew it, no way the fronts are +22mm, they have to be +12mm, they stick out waaaay to far, and if you are rubbing now, you will rub all the time when you lower it. Get them to replace them with the correct offsets.

I sell aftermarket parts and accessories as a side line usually if i came across people looking for items. Nothing major. My supplier is a authorized distributor for Mackin.

nd2spd can you post a pic of your front with the +22 offset? Thanks for the insight fellas, I appreciate it.

Wait, since your supplier is a distributor for Mackin, how can he make mistake on the offsets like these? Anyways, so what kind of parts you can get? PM me if you cant say it here. Do you think you can get better prices on the Volks then all the vendors on this forum?

Well, the thing is they had another set of LE37T's same finish that was going to be shipped out for a customer. I believe they may have given me his rears as my fronts and he has my fronts as his rears. Kinda hard to follow what I said maybe.... It could be a mix up if you know what I mean cuz I looked at his set and he had 19 x 8.5 front and 19 x 9.5 rear. So I'll be calling today to see what is up.

Well they shouldn't of got you that size in the front no matter what unless the saleman you talk to dont know anything about 350z's fitment. If you are in the Orlando area, ask for brian @ racing zone he will try to help you out. Just tell him Bryan from 350zonlinestore to you to call him. He got LE37T on his now in Gold with 19x9.5 +22 & 19x10.5 +22 lower on Tein Type Flex and I dont see any problem.
