The width creates a variance in how side wall height is represented as a number.

I'm sure others know lots more and will chime in.

But, a 265 35 will have a similar sidewall height as a 305 30.

Like play around at http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp

You'll see, for example, if you want 265 and 305 to have a sidewall that looks matched, you gotta go 35 and 30 respectively.

Really close. Total diameter will be 26" F and 25.8" R so there will be a minor difference I think but not noticeable.

Also I think stock diameter is approx 26.6", so just something to note.

So running thru the different numbers I could run
305/30 255/35
295/30 255/35
285/30 265/35

And pretty much have a 26" diameter wheel give or take a few mm

Need help... I should be picking up these wheels this week

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7223/7...ff1cca8e_b.jpg

Front 19x9 +15
Rear 19x10.5 +20

What size spacers do I need to make the wheel sit flush? Do I need them on the front and rear? Also what brand is best and where can I get some?

I would also need to extend the studs right? Where do I get those and how do I know what ones to order?

Thanks!

Your fronts will poke out of the fender some. If you want to match the aggressive front with poke on the rears then a 15-20mm spacer on the rear will get you there. For flush a 10mm spacer. What are your rear camber settings at? For flush up front, you will need camber to make it flush, not spacers.

How much will the front poke out? I don't want it sticking out a bunch. I do not know the camber specs... Whatever came stock?

Compared to stock sport wheels, the new wheels will stick out 1.3" farther towards the fender on front so you'll probably be about 5-8mm out of the fender. Possibly a little more at stock camber settings.

Kayzee 04-15-2013 02:24 PM

A little input please:


20x10 +15 front
20x11 +15 rear

Lowered 1" (swifts)

What tire size and camber am I looking at?

Currently thinking:

245/30/20 front
275/35/20 rear

Or will it be necessary to drop down to 235 to avoid excessive camber and rubbing in the front?

Edit: I am absolutely ready to roll the fender, but want to avoid having to pull at all costs (more camber)

So to match the front the rear needs what's size spacer do you think?

no offence, but when you ask a question you should fully read the answer that is given... that'll avoid you having to ask your question a second time, and insulting the person that spent the time responding to you :ugh2:

245/30/20 should work with about -2.5~ camber. Shoudlnt need to pull much but just remember, some tires run wider then others. The tires you use will effect how the sidewall stretches. Rears will be cake to fit.

I would do 15, slightly less aggressive but will require less camber to tuck into the fenders. I'm running +7 offset at -2.8 camber on the rears and its flush. I'm also not a fan of the "hellaflush" scene either and if thats what you're going for then 20 spacer for sure with more camber!

I think I'll stick with 15s. So I am going to need to adjust the camber too? I'd rather not mess with that.

Also will these H&R spacers work? (Link below) Do they come with the extended studs? Thanks you so much for your help. Never used spacers before.

Varrstoen ES222 19x9.5 F / 19x10.5 R
Offsets?
I hear that a +22 upfront has clearance issues

KaienZ34 04-22-2013 07:55 PM

No +22 will fit with zero problems.

I have the sport package brakes also and i'm on swifts now, just not in those pics. No rubbing or clearance problems at all, I could have even went with 265/35--305/30.

Who makes the calipers for the Nissan Sports Package? Can't seem to find this info.
Thanks

19x9 +20
19x10.5 +10

Okay, I got another one. I just bought these wheels...


http://www.the370z.com/attachment.ph...1&d=1366930983

http://www.the370z.com/attachment.ph...1&d=1366930983


Got them from Mark over at Ravspec. I bought them used, theyre the ones that are on that car in the pic. So, obviously I know they'll fit, but Im wondering if they'll fit MY application....

Theyre 20x9.5 +15 and 20x10.5 +0

I dont want to stretch the tires if possible. And Im running stock height and suspension completely. I'd like to run a 295 on the back if possible, what do you guys think? Will it fit or did I just jump the gun and screw up? Thanks!

GetYourWheels 04-25-2013 06:31 PM

Nice! Love the Gnosis wheels. At stock height, I don't think you should have any problems. Although, I'd recommend a mild drop to really accent the rims.

dc3843 04-25-2013 06:35 PM

WHEW. Thank you! I was about to start freakin. I will drop it some, just bought the car so the first thing I wanted to change was the wheels. lol. So a 295 in the rear will work? What about the front? MArk advised that I run a 255/20 and a 275/25. I was hoping to go wider.

Same rear offset as my pics a few posts up and 5mm's less in the front. I'm on swifts and running 255/35--295/30 take a peek.
