Ahhhh gotcha, thank you sir so whats biggest you thinki cango on then

I think 255/275 is the max. Not 100%. I am running 245/265.

any thoughts on forgestar f14 19x10 +20 front 19x11 0 offset rear? will that be aggressive for my 370z just bought them, but waiting on tires. Any thoughts?

thats not really that aggressive, front i would go with a 265 and rear 295/305

Completely stock sport package.

I want to fit. 255/45/19. 285/40/19. Will this be with no issue ?

I want more tires all around and want the fat tire look .

255/45/18 and 275/40/18 is what i ran on mine. I work in a tire shop so I read all of Michelin and Bridgestones tire size/width recommendations. Worked out great now that i bought my new wheels and was able to transfer the tires straight over. (Stayed with 18's. 9.5" in front and 10.5" in the rears.) I may go to a 295/35 after i finish this set though.


Bad idea! thats a super tall tire for the 19's and if you ever lower it, you will rub like crazy on the liners. Even at stock height, im sure you will rub. A 255/40/19 and 285/35/19 would be recommended for you. Its still a taller sidewall then stock though but shouldnt cause issues. Either way 10mm wider won't make the tire look too much wider if even noticeable at all. Wheel widths themselves help give you a wider look or if you go atleast a 275 in front and a 295 in the rear.

Thanks !! That's how I'm gonna order them

I haven't been able to find this, so here goes...for multiple reasons I have to stay with the base 18" wheels and want as much rubber under the car as possible and don't want to have to fool with spacers. I'd like to install a tire like the Michelin Pilot, as wide (definitely) and/or tall as possible, and still maintain as much positive handling as possible. Am I asking too much, and should I just stay with stock size tires?

Some very nice fitments in here.

SSR SP3 19x9.5SL +18 and 19x11SL +11

275/35/19? Hankook V12 Evo
305/30/19? Hankook V12 Evo

The question is will it fit fine? Do I have to get a camber kit? Will I rub with 275s in the front?

no one huh :ugh2:

Fronts will rub!

Rears will be fine. Depending on your suspension setup will depend on if you need camber kits. I would highly recommend them anyway.

Thanks much Mike! Should I just go with 255/35/19 then? I plan on just doing Swift Springs.

I was reading on the Meaty Tire Thread that people were running 275/305 easily. I may be wrong.

They are easy with the right offset. +18 on 9.5 puts your right at the limit. Im at +20 with a 255/40/18 on front and I rub on big bumps. Though im only at -1.7 degrees camber. More camber = more clearance. Ill probably go to -2.5 here in a bit and will be fine.

Thanks for the advice man! Correction im getting 19x9.5 +25 lol so am I good with 275's?

A 275/30 over a 275/35 will get you more clearance. It'll drop you below spec of the original oem size but with a shorter sidewall it'll give you more clearance too. Still meets the load rating. But its your call. I would go 275/30 just for the sakes of making sure it clears with as little rubbing as possible but we can see what everyone else chimes in with for tips.

Thank God this thread was about wheels :D

Okay, so I just bought some rims from another member.... Sizes 20x10 +35 and 20x11+35.... couple questions:
1) what, If any, spacers do I need to run?
2) what size tires should I put on the front and back that won't cause any rubbing issues with no fender modification? ( I'm going to drop it an inch or so on springs, and i'd like to run the widest possible tire that I can on the back)

Thanks everyone in advance for your help. I'm far from an expert when it comes to wheel fitment.

Depends what look you are going for.

You should have asked these questions before you bought them.

Also I wouldnt run big spacers with the brand of wheel you bought.

Good luck!

Looking for flush fitment, and the widest functional tires i can put on the front and back without modification to any fenders. The wheels are Varrstoens . . if that matters . . . .

Would
275/30/20
325/25/20
fit on the 370z base with wheels
20x9.5 +25
20x10.5 +22
if not what would i need to do or what would be the next best match.

Thanks for your time.:tiphat:

I wouldnt put a 325 on a 10.5 wheel. but i also am the same person who doesnt like to stretch tires.

a 275 up front would fit fine.

On the rear you can run a 305/25/20 and may opt for a 5mm spacer on top of that.

if it has to be guess that is the largest/widest tire i can fit with these rims till later get a different set. Also is the spacer to set the rim out more.

Thanks for your time.

Let me try my fitment question a different way:

Varrstoen 20x10 +35 and 20x11 +35

Looking to run 265/35/20 in front and 315/30/20 in the rear

Will probably run a 20mm spacer in the rear as well . . .

Will these fit nice and flush? And is this a safe fitment for these wheel sizes?

Also, looking to drop it 1.5" all around

Thanks in advance for your help!

Stock height
18x9.5 +20
18x10.5 +15

will that tire combination (255/45 and 295/35) work/look good?

Thats my future plan ATM. But I will probably drop down to a 255/40 since I do rub a little on big bumps but we'll see after i re-adjust my camber to where I want them to be and the 255/45 may be just fine. Plus a little less sidewall never hurts in cornering :happydance:

i want to keep my stock camber settings, will i need a bigger offset in front??

Fit??
 

Enkei raijin 18x9.5 +35 all the way around with nitto nt 555 extremes 255/45 all the way around as well. Got 20mm spacers on front and back too

It'll fit but I would run a 15mm spacer up front and 25-30mm in the rear or else the front will be aggressive looking/flush and the rears will be sunk in

Thanks

Would
265/30/20
305/25/20
fit on the 370z base with wheels
20x9.5 +25
20x10.5 +22
would this work out pretty good also what spacers do you think would be good to flush the wheels out

Thanks for your time.:tiphat:

I am just worried the tires might be too small.

Could anyone please answer the above fitment question please?

Looking to get some track wheels (square setup) after the holiday. Thinking of RPF01's in 18x10 +38, I know that is kind of a high offset and wanted to make sure it should clear. I'd rather not run spacers. Obviously tire choice will also matter, but these should clear the strut/calipers.

Thanks!

your rears will be super sunk in and a bit on the front. 10mm on front and a 25 or 30 in the rear will flush it up. but you will for sure need on the rears or it will look really weird/bad.

That's what I figured. Not really concerned about looks but I don't want a sunken battleship. RPF1s are just so sweet for the price and are only offered in those offsets.

Maybe I'd be better going x10.5 +15. Anyone know if these clear the Akebonos?

If you're going square, they will clear the Akebono's but you are gonna have to run some extreme camber or roll your front fenders to make them fit. We had a guy that ran that square set up in texas and he rolled the front a LOT just to make it fit. You're better off running the spacers on the rear and being done with it.

So what you're saying is with the 18x10 I wouldnt need to roll the fenders (depending on tire). And to just run spacers in the rear. Makes sense. I've rolled fenders before but dont want to do it on my Z.

bingo. even a 275 sqaure set up you wouldnt need to roll with a +38 offset

Could anyone please help me out with the above fitment question? Thanks!
