Yes,

They will fit just make sure the (offset) are within spec.

Depending on the offsets It may or may not need spacers

Keep the tire size to stock sizes IF you're not going to do anything fancy.

Only if you want to go with a wider wheel that will stick out past outside the fenders. Camber wil tilt top of the wheel, thus fitting it back flush with the fender.Lowering the car wil also have a tendency of cambering the wheels in, so if you decide to lower the car, you might want to go with wider wheels or larger spacers.

Stock 19" 370z wheels will only require an alignment at a regular old shop.

As stated above, camber kits can be used to increase negative camber when you have wide wheels that won't clear the fenders. They can also be used to decrease negative camber on lowered cars that will maintain toe/camber specs and increase tire life and straight line performance/grip.

But again, you won't need them if you're just using a stock wheel and are not lowered. Cheers.

alright guys. i need a confirmation on something.

is 3% the maximum tire diameter difference FR to RR? Will say 3.1% throw a code?

any speculation on whether or not an ECUtek tune can take care of the problem?

I'm running 275/35-19 PSS which is 26.6" and 345/30-19 PSS which is 27.2". With no issues. ;)

yea, you are teetering right on the edge which is what even gives me hope, haha.

i have this hairbrained scheme about going 19"FR and 20"rear. I also want to run some serious rubber, but so far the closest i can come in terms of diameter, and keeping sidewall more or less the same, is 3.1% difference FR>RR (285/30r19 FR | 335/25r20 RR). my preferred tire selection would actually put it at about a 3.4% difference (285/30r19 FR | 345/25r20 RR), which i expect would definitely cause weirdness. obviously a wonky traction control system makes the idea a no-go.

edit: there are other tire choices that come closer, but i was hoping to run some 325+ on the RR. however, i like the sidewalls/diameter sizes of some of the narrower options.

sound's like you're after the ZR1 wheel set up,,,could be wrong-but i was thinking that 335/25/20 only came in run-flats.
Factory Diameter setup's are 325/30/19R & 275/35/19F ,The Michelin PSS tires are probably some of the widest tread ones.
"Rusty" has that Bad-Azz look!!!
i was thinking Pro-Street look 345/30/19R & 255/40/19F MPSS on 8.5 & 12" Forgelines.
or 295/35/19F on 10"wide wheel.
PS...."Rusty" also has unlimited funds!

You are spot on. the 285/30r19 FR and 335/25r20 RR setup is with PSS ZPs (run flats) same as the C7 vettes. I am not keen on the idea of run flats, but you can't argue with the handling success of the vettes.

Last night after spending some time with tire calculators and searching TireRack I also came across an alternative 275/35r19 FR | 305/30r20 on regular PSSs that would work better (2.2% diff FR>RR) and also fill the fender wells more (i.e. larger diameter than the wider ZPs mentioned). This option wouldn't create any problems with the TCS, but I lose width in the rear. It also has the advantage of being the same width as RS3 tires I will run as track tires.

So the 275/305 setup is currently my top choice if i decide to go 19/20. I expect the narrower rear tire won't have a major impact on traction. So, the only thing I lose is my spot in the "370z Wide Tire Hall of Fame", next to Rusty. :roflpuke2:

Would you want almost 1" difference in diameter of these tires; seems that it would mess up your abs. & everything else.Attachment 106160Attachment 106161

Not sure the reasoning behind the 19/20 wheels... Corvettes are set up for it. With 1" shorter tires in front/ sidewall is the same.
If you want big- go 345/30/19R & 295/35/19F or if you like the 20's & handling; go 325/25/20R & 265/30/20F both 26.3"diameter. Won't affect sensors & potentially handle better than vette! Just my 2cents. :)

Thanks for all the input. The problem with the traction control/ABS is the reason I originally posted. I am 99.9999% sure the corvette setup would throw a code. Seems the max difference FR>RR that the car will handle without a code is 3%, and the Vette setup is 3.5% difference. I assume Chevy simply set the ECU to work with this setup. Which is why I was wondering if an ECUtek tune might be able to avoid the codes (the most recent rom has control of the traction and abs systems).

I´ve been thinking I would go the 20" route for a while and the 265/325 tire setup you mentioned is where I´d settled.

The thing is, and this is all a matter of personal taste. 19s look perfect up front, but they look lost in the rear and vice versa for the 20s (perfect in the rear and huge in the front). Our cars have a relatively slim nose and a super tall rear, similar to the C7 vette (which is why I assume the Vette runs them in 19-20 configuration).

IF I decide to go 19-20 I think I would be just fine with the 275-305 setup. the 275/35 on the front is real close to stock diameter and a little more meat in the back wouldn´t hurt anything. Sidewalls are really close in size.

Either way, thanks again for throwing down your opinions/advice.

You right about that; what ever tickles your Fancy! If you like it/that's all that matters.
I said earlier that I like the pro-street look 345/30 & 255/40 on 19's Michelin PSS,8.5 & 12" wheels...27.1,2ish diameter. That's what I like & haven't seen another one yet.
The Z06 look would be different with having the front low....I just don't have the Greenbax right now.Attachment 106175

I Like My ~Z~ Better!

i think i will ask cooltoy to chop this one up for me. give a better idea of how it might look.

to the batcave!

hey guys sorry im a bit new to this forum but im looking to buy some wheels and i was wondering if anyone knows what this set up would look like. I plan on buying some varrstoen es1 or es2

Im currently on swift springs with factory camber spec
19x10.5 +12 front
19x10.5 +12 rear

I have the sports package and want to use the stock tires on these rims. My question is will this set up run flush with my fenders. My goal is to sit flush with no spacers needed and not sticking out. Any input or advice will greatly be appreciated. Sorry if this is a stupid question

Do you currently have the 19x9 +47 & 19x10 +30 ?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

yes i do

if you're running 19x9+47F & 19x10+30R,,,my calculations are (+2.11" front spacing on F & +0.89" front spacing on R) meaning that the rim lip on front could be up to 1" outside fender & the rear .25" out.....all depends on your camber adjustments///take 2 yard sticks and put one sideways at top of rim lip & touch against both sides of fender & take other one & measure gap to rim lip.
not saying that they won't work with factory tires-because you will definitely have the front one's stretched.
do the same in rear.
Factory Specs are (+43 18x8,+15 18x9) (+47 19x9,+30 19x10) (+40 19x9.5,+23 19x10.5)
hope this helps....rear would have a lot better chance than front.

The +2.11" & +0.89" is how much the wheel will come out further than what is stock...the backspacing on the 10.5wide wheel is 6.25",,,that is good.

thank you that does help after reading this i think i will be going with
19x9.5 +12
19x 10.5 + 12
what do you think? will that be better and sit flush with no poking?

still @ +1.61" out on rim,,,a more common front 9.5 is +25-which is +1.11 out further on rim...Hopefully a few other members will chime in-don't want to steer you wrong.

go to the (370z MEATY TIRE THREAD) this will give you lots of ideas.

Ok Fellow Forum Member's,,,i know some of you guy's are running aggressive offset wheels on your ~Z's~ & new member is trying to do a one shot one kill on offsets for flush mount-without spacers......i know camber plays a HUGE role in this....so give it a look-he want's to use stock sized tires,,,(i'm guessing 245/40,275,285/35/19's) initially wanted to use stock tires on 19x10.5+12 on all 4 corners.
thank you for the help.

Currently running the OEM stock rims for a 2009 Touring w/o Sport, but I'm looking to buy my baby some new wheels and probably new tires to go with them.

Konig Illusion

-Rim Diameter 18 inches
-Rim Width 8 inches
-Bolt Pattern (Number of Holes) 5
-Bolt Pattern (Pitch Circle Diameter) 114.3 millimeters
-Offset 45 millimeters
-Backspace 6.27 inches
-Bore Diameter 73.10 millimeters

And I would like to know if I could get some Potenza S04s to fit these
Front- 225/50R18 95Y
Back- 245/45R18 96Y


Also, was wondering if I would have a problem fitting Brembo brake calipers under these wheels, planning on matching the blue accent.

Would they fit without a new tune and/or spacers? I'm not that educated in wheel/tire knowledge.

i have an 11' base touring w/factory 18's also....they are 18x8+43,18x9+15 , you mentioned the stock size tire;which is 26.8F & 26.7R,,,,i kept my factory wheels and put 245/45's on front & 275/40's on rear...both 26.7" diameter...the front wheels could probably stand a 20 0r 25mm spacer to flush it & 15mm rear(on mine) i have my rear camber maxxed out with factory eccentric bolts (-1.75*) as far as brembo brakes-that depends on how big you want to go/that is why the sport & nismo's come w/19" wheels.....Brembo may offer some calipers to fit the 18's
initial question about wheels...there are bunches of flavors out there for these cars-just pick your poison.
BigWheels.Net: custom wheels,chrome wheels,black wheels,custom rims,american racing wheels,classic muscle car wheels,truck wheels and tires. is a good starting point.

This thread title is full of Fail. I got asked many times, "Will it Fit?". Everytime I see it I just chuckle.

I see this is your last comment Mr Spooler; maybe everyone doesn't have the same taste as you....I thought this site was intended to help one another & not be a hater- but maybe I'm either wrong or you are way more smarter than the rest of us.

Oh, a Smartbutt. One little typo and we go to trying to insult me because of where I live. If you are trying to intimidate me or get under my skin, it is going to take more than that.


Yes, I am smarter than you.

You just keep putting those 24 1/4" tall tires on your car...I'm gonna stick with my 26 3/4" ones.... About being smarter? Remember- you are the one who posted that this thread should be listed as " what does not fit"

i apologize about the fruitcake thing; but i'm not sure to what degree you're talking about being smarter? i'm don't claim to be the most knoledgeable one out there,,,but i have attained Master ASE/EVT status in auto's,trucks,school busses,ambulances & fire trucks over the past 20+ years...with over 30 years experience.
i hope you accept my apology & i'm sure you probably ment 20's (or larger) rather than the 19's with the 25 profile.

This size tire will definitely fit on the rear of a base with 18x9wheels. 275/40/18Attachment 106514Attachment 106515

Alright, I guess I'll give this a shot. Lol

Rear: 19x11.5 -8

post pic's after this; you must either gonna really stretch some tire across these or run a much smaller diameter one.
rim lip +1.95" further out than nismo on F & +1.75"R

I actually wrote it wrong, sorry haha.

Front: 19x9.5 -3
Rear 19x10.5 -8

The "Will it fit?" thread
 

No problem; just subtract 1/2" from the last measurements I quoted. & that's how much further out your wheel will stick.....some people try a variety of different spacers before making a wheel purchase// sure don't want the front to eat up those fenders while turning....The rears are a lot more forgiving.
Have a nice day. :)

Will this fit properly (and NICE! not cheap like i have a wrong set up :( without me doing anything else to my car (2009 base)
Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110

255/35/19 Front | 295/30/19 Rear

on Avant Gardes 19x5 20 OFFSET | 19x11 18 OFFSET ???

That is the tire package offer on "GetYourWheels.com" Just want to check with this forum and see what your opinions are... Thank you

not sure if you ment 8.5 or 9.5+20's on front,
rear's should be fine 6.71 backspacing & 5.29 frontspacing-almost 1/2" further out than stock nismo 19x10.5+23's.
front's 8.5+20 has 5.54BS & 3.96FS.......9.5+20's have 5.96"BS & 4.54"FS
factory Nismo 9.5 wide wheels are +40 7.08"bs & 3.42"fs
running the size tire you mentioned are 26" tall-so the fronts would be the one's i'd be more concerned with.
8.5's should be fine,,,not sure about 9.5's-have them send you pic's
have a nice day!
