Hey guys. I'm dropped on swifts and thinking of going with Work Kiwami.

Front
9.5 +25
AD08 265/35

Rear
11 +18
AD08 305/30

I'm hoping it fits with no issues, flush but no poke, while continuing to be near +/- the outer range of stock camber specs.

I have a rear spc kit installed and will get the front arms if needed for more camber adjustability.

Will it fit?

what size tires to get with these offsets?

Id rather spend the money on front camber arms than pull or roll tho.

Good point. Thanks for all the info. I might just stick to getting some +30 offset wheel, same sizes, and run spacers all around. That way I can run pretty much whatever I please. Thanks again!

SUPER stretch on the front. 245/40 with a minimum of -3 degrees camber IF you are lucky. Rears you can do whatever you want.

Hey guys just ordered some meisters with the following offsets.

19.9.5 +17 F(Adding 5mm spacer putting me at +12)
19x11.0 +0 R

Curious on what tire size I should be running. I know camber is a must since I'm already lowered so I'm not worried about that part at all. Just not sure about the tire sizes..

Thanks!

Tire fitment on Stock Sport Rays
 
Front: 275/35/19 - 26.6 diameter (its listed as a rear only tire but I'm not sure if that matters???)
Rear: 285/35/19 - 26.9 diameter

Similar diameter sizes as stock...within 0.3 inches...Just wider

Will these tires sizes fit on the stock rays? :confused:

I have Meisters sitting in my room right now.

19x9.5 +17
19x11 +10

I test fitted them and the fronts clear the calipers....barely lOl
If anything I was planning on trying Z1s 2.5mm spacer

Have you tried the rears yet? I like having my car pretty slammed but not going to keep it that way if I'm going to have to really stretch the tires. I have the akebonos, do you have the base brakes? I was told ill need at least a 3mm spacer to clear them.

I have a Nismo so no base brakes. The rears fit fine but stick out a little bit. Im lowered on Swifts but Ill be installing SPL rear camber arms & toe bolts soon.

Mine is a 2012 Base Coupe with no Nismo or sport fanciness.

I've got a lead on some Blizzak snow tires. The wheels are universal bolt pattern Drag Brand, DR-11, 18". My concern is the 4 tires that come on them are 235/50R18. Is that gonna cause some rubbing or other problems? I know the staggered size is ideal but these will probably be on for about 2 or 3 months of the year, and they don't need to be pretty. Worth the purchase or pass? thanks!

What are the offsets on the wheels? Most issues are people clearing brakes because of the design but with base brakes, almost any wheel clears. Most people run square setup for their winter set up with spacers in the rear to make it not look so weird. If you dont car how it looks, then spacers arent necessary.

SIZE: 18x7.5
BOLT PATTERNS: (4 x 100/114.3)(5 x 100/114.3)
OFFSET: 42mm / 45mm
LIP MEASUREMENT: 1.75"

My guess is the wheels will clear the base calipers, its the 235/50/18 tire with that tall sidewall that I'm worried will rub potentially. Any idea?

Sidewall is not a concern as long as youre at stock height. I think your bigger concern is clearing the brakes at that high of an offset with that skinny of a wheel. Nothing spacers couldnt fix though.

Alrashwa 03-04-2013 02:45 PM

Thanks a ton, I'll test one of them on the front before I buy, hopefully they clear.

daisuke149 03-04-2013 04:56 PM

why would you buy such a crappy skinny wheel.. sorry... not a good diea..

Some people like to ice skate...:roflpuke2:

Alrashwa 03-04-2013 05:03 PM

Haven't bought it yet, but it's for snow anyway, skinny is better. Not going to do any autocross with blizzaks on :rofl2:

hope they are super cheap then.. cus otherwise byuing a set of stock 18's might be a better option for some snow tires...

Alrashwa 03-04-2013 05:09 PM

Lady is asking for 600 with the tires on there. I doubt I'll be able to get stock 370z wheels with fitting snow tires for anywhere near that price.

Z11 03-04-2013 07:42 PM

i was thinking of getting 20 inch rims, (front) 245/35/20, (rear) 275/30/20. everything as of yet is stock on my car and with the original sport akebono brakes, so will that wheel and tire size fit without the purchase of any additional items?

im not sure about these (offsets, + or -) and how there measured, but that relates to the wheel clearing the calipers so they dont touch i assume.

Z11 03-04-2013 07:44 PM

oh, and why is the thickness, (middle #) larger then the rear? why cant they both front and rear be 30/30?, 245/((35))/20 front, 275/((30))/20 rear

Amused TT 03-04-2013 10:00 PM

Any chance anyone can tell me if 19x10.5 +18 all around will fit my 370Z sport Edition?

Rears will fit easy. Fronts, good luck with that. To make it VERY simple for most of those out there that haven't figured it out. To do a square set up, pick a set up that fits the FRONTS then use spacers on the rear. The fronts need a much higher offset then the rears so spacers on the rear is the easy part.

lhinojos 03-05-2013 05:05 PM

Biggest size I could run on the front for a 19x10 +22

KaienZ34 03-05-2013 05:34 PM

It really depends on how low your car is and how much camber you want to run.

KaienZ34 03-05-2013 05:37 PM

My set up 19x9.5+20 with 255/35 tires up front, stock height and camber.

I'm on swifts with no camber arms

lhinojos 03-12-2013 02:39 PM

Will I have any problems running a 255/40/19 on a 19x10 +22 in the front?

Suggestions/Opinions
 
Here's my current set-up:

http://www.the370z.com/members/pfdax...tein-coils.jpg

OEM 19" Sport Rays

Front: 19x9 255/40-19 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 with 20mm spacer (= +27), -1.5 camber
Rear: 19x10 285/35-19 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 with 25mm spacer (= +5), -1.2 camber.
TEIN coils (mild drop)
SPC rear camber arms/toe bolts.

What I'm going with:

Front:19x9 +20
Rear:19x10.5 +25

My questions:

1) I already purchased a set of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 305/30-19 for the rear. I'm thinking a 15 or 20mm spacer added?

2) What about fronts? I was thinking either 255/35-19 or 265/35-19? Getyourwheels.com stated to use the 255 because it would "look" better. I also don't think I'll need a spacer for the front?

Suggestions & opinions welcome :tiphat:

Ok so I'm looking into some work gnosis gs2 in 19x9.5/11 what would be some offsets I could run to sit flush with no poke. I'm looking to run 305's in the rear and should be lowered on BC. The vendor is telling me I may need to roll fenders, does that seem right?

15mm spacer in the rear and at most a 5mm spacer up front but you may not need it at all. I would run a 255 just because it sits better on the 9" wheel then then 265.

Being 50mm smaller than the rear, wouldn't I experience some understeer?

You would probably get under steer even with a 265 but turn in response will be better with the 255 also. A 275 or 285 would be best to match with your 305 rears but the rim width is your limit. You COULD still fit a 275 on the front but then turn in response will decrease and it'll feel sloppy.
