Default TE37, What Offset/Width for Concave Look?

I originally thought that you could not get TE37's in 17" with the concave look to them, but after seeing a picture of the Esprit 350z I realized that you can because I know that they are running 17" wheels.

Here is a picture:

So I was wondering if anyone knew what offset and/or width I would need to get in order to have that concave look on some 17" TE37 wheels?

Thanks in advance

The following 17" sizes will have good concave: 17x9.0 et 0/+15/+22, 17x9.5 et +12, and 17x10.0 et +18

For craziest look you can run 17x9.0 et 0 rear and 17x9.0 et +15 front

Or more common fittment would be 17x9.5 et +12 all around (if you run same size tires for track)

Or 17x9.0 et +15 front and 17x10.0 et +18 rear for nice staggered look

Default brake clearance!!

Hi Phrost,
03Z33 is correct about the concave look. These 17"s really have a sweet look.
HOWEVER, beware that these offsets may conflict with the brake clearance. Is your z track model with brambo? Do you plan a big break kit for future?
Just like to remind you about it.
Here is the sit you can check the clearnace for brakes with the offsets that TE37 offers:

good luk

Great thanks for the info guys. By the way, those are some damn nice 180's.

Well it's for a base model (which I am still looking for) that will have a big brake kit upgrade as my first mod (with the wheels). I am probably going with the 13" STOPTECH kit because the 14" kit will add too much unsprung weight for track use as it's going to be a circuit car.

Would these brakes work with any of the above mentioned choices? Ultimately I am after performance over looks but if I can get both then it would be even better.
