Yeah I was going to suggest a 5mm, maybe even a 10mm. You'll just have to try it out and see what works.

I'm going for stock camber for tire life and no rubbing, lowered on swift springs. This is what i have on order...19x9.5+20 & 19x10.5+0 and the tires are 265/35/19 & 305/30/19
a 305/30 on a 10.5 +0? How is this possible with no camber?

it'll fit fine. the front should be about flush. the back may need 5-10mm to be flush but overall good fit.

Question which tire/size rears?

I have the RAYS that come with the sport package (2011)

Stock:
Front: 240/40/19
Rear: 275/35/19

One of my rear tires just blew, so I need to change the rears. I still have some significant life in the fronts so I'll keep them for now.

Question: should I go with 275s, 285s or 295s on the rear (for aggressive driving / track)?

Also, the car came with Bridgestone Potenzas RE050A. Any other recommendations?

Thanks!

Just me, but if your keeping the stock fronts i wouldn't go to far pass stock in the rear maybe 285.

Enkei RPF1 18x9 et35 with 10mm spacer. (front) I suppose rear 18x10.5 et15 are ok.

Will it clear oem big brakes?

If someone has good pictures of RPF1:s on a 370Z i accept them gladly.

Please share the experience about these wheels in a 370Z as there are many fitment issues about these.. I have read almost every thread about these and still i am not sure about these..

Thanks!

After looking around a bit, 255/40/19 may actually be a bit too much sidewall for my tastes.

Any issues with this setup?:
19x9.5+24 265/35/19
19x10.5 +15 305/30/19
Eventually lowered on swifts.

Thanks

Just placed an order for a set of Work wheels, now the wait begins. I am looking to figure out what I should do for tire sizes.

19X9 +15
19X10.5 +5

I will be lowered on Swift springs. I am still trying to figure out this whole offset/tire size thing.

I would do a 255/35 or a 245/35 on the fronts and a 285/35 out back.
