Frankly, the +25 rear is extremely conservative



You can run the same tire sizes as a nismo

245/40/19

285/35/19

It willl literally fit the same as a factory nismo since those are the same width tire and wheel



the rears are sunk as hell. Get the +12 offset in 19x10.5

Yes I realized after I got the offsets back words +25 in front and +22 in back not sure if that make a huge difference. I would imagine the rear wouldn’t be a bad since closer to the +12 you mentioned.

I'm looking at purchasing new wheels and tires for my new(ish) 2014 Nismo.The wheels I'm looking at are 20x9 +35 front and 20x12 +22 rear. I'll be installing 255's on the front and 325's on the rear and will be about a 1/2" lower than stock ride height. I'd like to have them flush with the wheel well lip. Will I have to run a spacer in the front and how will the rears be with the 325?

Edit: I also could go with a 20x10 +40 offset and 285 front. I wonder if that may be a better choice. I just don't want any poke.

This what I'm running. Front - 19x9.5, offset +25, Rear - 19x12, offset +28. Tire were 275/35-19 and 325/30-19. Now 285/35-19, and 345/30-19 on the same rims. That was at stock Nismo height and stock alignment. Now, I'm fully adjustable.

Which wheels are you going to go with? Talk to Jason at getyourwheels. Theyre in Santa Fe Springs. He should have examples off what setup youre looking at.

Thank you though it does give a better idea as what I’m looking a

Tire wise how thick of a tire could I go? According to the guys at Z1 these will be pretty close to stock but they are wider than the stock Rays I have on the car now.

You can go 265/35,305/30/19’s if you don’t mind dropping diameters to 26.3”
Some run 255/35’s up front & 295/30’s/305/30’s out back.
As OZ mentioned...rears are really conservative offsets vs the front & pending your alignment/camber specs...you’d need rear spacers to bring wheels out in rear to be as flush as front

Or, he could just get the 19x10.5 +12 size which is available

Why run spacers when you can just buy a wheel in a better size

not like there's a price difference, and all the wheels are made to order anyways so its the same wait

Im going to consider the +12 ... I do want to avoid having to put spacers on

Hello,

I'm looking to run Varrstoen ES1 20x10 +15 front 20x11 +15 rear Wrapped in Hankook Ventus V12. Not sure what tire size to run, possibly 245/35/20 and 275/35/20? Will I need spacers?

My suspension mods are:
BC Racing Coilovers
SPC rear camber kit

Would I need front camber kit along with rolling & pulling of my fenders?

From my research, it seems like the 19x9.5 12 Rear: 19x10.5 12 clear the front brakes but I'm not sure for the 20's

[OptionZero]

245/35/20 (26.8 inches tall)
285/30/20 (26.7 inches tall)

A moderate stretch that should give you plenty of clearance
You can certainly go wider but thats gonna require correspondingly more camber

In any case, you'll need to get the SPL FUCA and roll your fenders. Depending on your height, you may need to trim the front bumper tab.

Your fronts are more aggressive than your rears. The rears should fit easily. You can run 20x11 +0 with around -2 of camber on a 285/30/20

I do not know if that specific wheel clears akebonos, it depends on the spoke design of each specific wheel in a particular size



I know everybody bitches about the $700 for the SPL FUCA but it solves all problems and its an extremely high quality part. Save up and get them before you get wheels

[jchammond]

Pending on your alignment; you would probably need 20mm (+ or -) spacers in Rear to bring wheels out to fenders like fronts will be.

Hello,

I'm looking to run I'm looking to run Varrstoen ES1

My suspension mods are:
BC Racing Coilovers
SPC rear camber kit

Front: 19x10.5 12 wrapped 275/30 tire
Rear: 19x11 0 wrapped in 275/30 tire

Will it fit? I asked above for 20's but now changing direction to 19's. Even with the 19's will I need front camber kit?
Should I run wider tires on the rear? 285? 295? To my understanding 19x9.5 12 will clear the front brakes but not sure about the 19x10x5 12

[OptionZero]

Switching between 19 and 20's isn't gonna make a difference, it's the overall height of the wheel WITH TIRE that will be about the same. A 19 isn't one inch shorter than a 20 inch wheel . . .

so again:

Rears will fit easily. Factory parts should get you enough adjustment to get to around -2 camber. I think you can run a 285/35/19, maybe only needing to roll fenders. DPE_G ran 20x11 +0 with a 285 and -2 camber

Fronts will NOT work without:
- SPL FUCA
- rolled fenders
- around -2.5 deg camber depending on height
- You can run a 275 but it's gonna need work. 245/40/19 will be much easier
- I am running a 275/30/20 in the front at 20x11 +15. -3 camber, rolled and pulled fender, relocated bumper tab. Your fronts are close to that offset so if you're gonna run that much tire you better be prepared to do what i did

I do not know about the brake caliper clearance - you should call the retailer or manufacturer and get an answer from them.

Varrstein is a fake wheel company - that design is a fake 3pc. Hell, they have fake bolt that mimic the look of a 3PC wheel. That makes it harder to tell what the face design of each specific size will be

A real company like Works that makes the VSXX would actually have a chart that says what size goes with what face design

Thank you!!! Really appreciate your input. I'll do everything you mentioned and post pictures when it's all done.
