Here we go again...
 
Been scrubbing all the blogs on this for a while now... I have a 2012 Nismo :tiphat:and just purchased Swift springs and H&R 15mm/20mm for my ride. I have stock rims and tires. Apparently everyone says this is THE setup to have..
I was going to just go 15/15 with no change in springs, but the rebound I was getting on the highway was starting to bug me and my GF a bit. SUPPOSEDLY, this will smooth that out a bit and tighten corner turns a lot.

My only worry is that I live in Michigan and our roads are not like Cali and Florida... :icon14: oh well... wish me luck, pics to follow.

Let me know if anyone has the same setup. From what I hear, the ride should be perfect and hopefully I won't rub and/or bottom out!:happydance:

With or without spacers?

Spacers, but I don't remember what size they were.

I could swear I've seen someone list 325's for the rear, that would be the sh*t !!!

Remember wider isn't necessarily better, unless you need the extra width for.traction ie 500+rwhp. The added cost of those tires wont give you much if any benefit, hell it may even negatively impact your objective. However if you're just going for a certain look knock yourself out. Just be prepared to pay to play, especially if you have to run significant negative camber. Just my friendly 2 cents

I'm thinking about getting 20mm Z1 bolt-on spacers all around and I'm also thinking about going 275/35 or 285/35 square on stock '13 Rays when I need new tires. Does anyone know if I'd have a problem with rubbing anywhere?

Edit: Forgot to add this is on stock suspension with no plans to drop.

Would these fit a 370Z Sport?

Yep...got a TT on the way. I don't want ANY camber adjustments, just the biggest tires that will fit with the stock Rays with spacers if needed.

my 275 front / 325 rear was 1200 for a set of tires brand new. and they were great. and last a long time.

Also slapped em on OEM suspension and drove off with no camber adjustments or lowering etc needed.

Just have to pick the right setup!

Is this on your Mustang or 370Z with stock Rays?

I've been search the forum off and on all day to try and answer a couple of fitment questions.

I'm considering a set of Varrstoen ES 2.2.2 and I'm lowered on Swifts.

From what I've read, if I got the 9.5 +22 up front, they would not clear my sport brakes. The +12 up front just seems crazy aggressive.

My question is, how much of a spacer would I need up front to clear the sport brake kit? Is a 5mm spacer going to do it?

Secondly, if I get the 10.5 +12 for the rears, how close to flush am I going to end up? Would I be better off running spacers in the back too?

Lastly, are my stock tires going to fit this setup?

Any photos anyone has of a similar setup would also be greatly appreciated!

Stock tires will fit no problem as long as the varrstoens are of course 19's. Spacer wise on the front, I think most people just took vendors advice and got the +12. Its not super aggressive but mild camber will be needed to clear with no issues. +12 on the rear could use a 5mm spacer to be perfect flush but I'm running +12 and its almost flush already. I never realized how heavy those Varrstoens were till just now lol.

i would apreciate to know what you guys think

Thanks for the reply. I wish I could get a look at someone's Z who was running a +12 up front. It makes me nervous not seeing it first. If I end up needing a camber kit up front, it might be better just to try another wheel with more offset options. :(

My friend is running +12 but thats on his 350z lol. IF he gets his car back soon I might be able to get him to spend a bit of his time for a wheel swap just on the front to see where it sits for you but it'll be about a week. His car is in the shop gettin new bumpers and sideskirts installed, and painted. Hes rocking the same wheels you want but in white.

My setup isn't exactly what your looking for but it gives you some idea. Lowered on swifts stock rear camber (no front camber kit) 19x9.5+20 with 255/35/19 up front and 19x10.5+0 with 295/30/19 out back, tires are Mich PSS.

Thanks man! That helps a lot actually... seems like the +22 with a 5mm spacer is really the way to go (effectively +17) and I'll probably need 5mm to 10mm on the rears too (effectively +7 or +2).

Anyone have a recommendation on spacers? Who makes the best quality 5mm spacer?

The "Will it fit?" thread

18x9 +20 F

Stock 18" tyres 225/50? on front and 245/45? on rear. Stock height for the moment. Akebono brakes (I think you guys call this the sport package).

Will this fit? Look ok?

iamwagz 06-08-2013 11:01 PM

Anyone?

w0rM 06-08-2013 11:32 PM

If I were going to upgrade my wheels, I'd go with a 19" rather than 18". IMO, the 18s just don't look as good.

If I'm not mistaken, those offsets are also going to have your rear wheels poking a little bit more than your front.

I'm pretty sure those will clear your brakes but if you want to be certain, try calling one of the Work dealers and ask them. The guys at RavSpec are very helpful.

Rear stock sport rims with 20mm spacers on Eibach's, 305/30/19 fit with out rubbing? Running fronts 265/35/19 w/15mm spacers, which are sweet and look great.

Those tire sizes will look weird on stock suspension, in my opinion. 245 on the 9" and 275 on the 10", or something more meaty would look better if the car isn't lowered.

BLKGST 06-17-2013 02:33 PM

Hello.

Im iof deciding what size of wheels I should get.

For front, 20x10 +25 is an option.
I want have camber set up as OEM. Not too much negitive camber.
Also. I want the set up in a way that my wheels are closest to fender as possible.
Is it possible for me to go lower offset? Or +25 is enough?

For rear, 20x11 with offset of +15 or +20.
I also want rear ones to be close OEM camber set up while it is closest to fender as possible.
Should I get +15 or +20?
If someone can help me, I will be very appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

I need to pull the trigger on these, any info would be really appreciated!:tiphat: Running 285/35 now, seems to be about 3/4" of space.

MVPTonyD 06-22-2013 01:19 AM

Quick question. Will these rims fit my tires and car?

18x9.5 +20
18x10.5 +20

Will they fit the stock base tires?
225 50R18
245 45R18

And they will fit the car right? Since I don't have the sport brakes.

Xplicit97 07-17-2013 03:34 PM

I am interested in doing a VVSCV2 in 10.5 Square set up. I am dropped on Ark springs no camber arms yet, 1.5" drop. They are available in +15, +25, +45. I'm looking to get the most concave look. What offset should I go with, and what size tires? Thanks

ScottOmatic 08-18-2013 10:38 PM

Hello, I've been lurking here for awhile. I have had my 370Z for over 3 months now and I plan on driving it in the winter on some narrower rims and snow tires.

Since there is often a good amount of snowfall here, I could be using the winter season wheels for over 4 months and would actually like to get something I find that looks neat instead of the bottom dollar tirerack rims.

Does anyone have an idea if these would fit? I have the sport package and thus, the larger brakes and don't know if there would be enough clearance, with the offset and with or without spacers.

Both Front and Rear would be the same spec.

EastBayZed 08-18-2013 11:25 PM

Scott^
Depends on the backspacing, but the size and offset would fit and you would more than likely need to run a big spacer to clear the brakes based on the dish type.

ScottOmatic 08-21-2013 12:32 AM

Thanks East Bay. I might keep looking, to find something with a little less hassle.

Will 18x9.5 +3 fit in the front of a Nismo Z?

ScottOmatic 10-21-2013 08:56 PM

Okay, it's crunch time for winter tires and rims so I am going to throw up a couple more wheels that I have been looking at and see if anyone has some input. I'm worried about the brake clearance on the sport package on all of these.

I am looking at some wheels that can be made in a custom offset so I don't have to deal with spacers as these will be a little narrower than the summertime stock Ray's.

fifteen52 RSL Tarmac

These are the rims on Ken Block's gymkhana car ( not that I care) that are in that San Francisco video. I just bring this up as the site says they have fit all big brake kits that they have tested and I would think there would be some fairly large brakes on that car.

It would cost a little bit more of the custom 114.3 bolt pattern and offset, but I like the style and I would be on them approximately 4 months out of the year. They are unfortunately out of stock in this 18x8.5" variety until the end of december (I have a beater still handy until then).

I also like these:

WatercooledIND CC10 Wheels for Sale

Which are available in custom bolt pattern and offset. They have a very concave design that looks like they may fit the large brakes.
