The "Will it fit?" thread

bldg636 · 01-08-2013, 12:59 PM

Ok thanks guys.... I appreciate the help..... One last question..... Any way to know if an inch to inch and a half drop will cause any issues with this setup without just trying it?

chrischhorn · 01-08-2013, 01:23 PM

if anything, the drop will help your cause with some camber. now a drop at adjusted back to stock specs could cause you issues but you shouldnt have to run too much camber.

Help! Will it fit?
Currently running 245/40r19 and 275/35r19
looking to bump up to

19x9 +32 275/30r19
19x10.5 +32 295/30r19
Will it fit w/o rubbing?

Or would a

265/30r19
285/30r19

be a better set up?

A little offset help...

For the front it will be a 9.5" wheel, they offer a +12 or +22 offset... what one? The rear will be a 10.5", same question +12 or +22?

Thanks

I'm running 9.5 with +20 on front and 10.5 +7 on the rears. Front only rubs on VERY large bumps on the fender liner. Rear clear fine. Depends on how much camber you are running on whether the +12 would fit up front but definitely +12 on the rear.

Ok. So most likely 22 on the front. Do you have a spacer on the rear?

chrischhorn · 01-10-2013, 04:32 AM

5mm. the wheels are +12 so with a 5mm spacer the effective offset is +7.

Ok cool. Thanks.

So I'm switching from the base (non-sport) tire/wheels 225/50/18 245/40?/18 to the sport rays w/ hankooks off of ishmaelz. The specs were 245/40/19 an 295/30/19.

I was wondering if I can just simply switch them without having to worry about spacers, otherwise, I might just have to buy 20mm for both the rear and front.

Any suggestions/opinions?

Of course they will fit. There is no difference between clearance from sport and base. Just wheels themself. 20mm Spacers will make it flush to the fender but otherwise there is no reason to have em at all. Hell, even the base 18's clear the Akebono sport brakes without spacers.

EndyKwon · 02-01-2013, 03:08 PM

say I didn't get the wheels from ishmael, but I decided to go for a higher rim size..
What I'm currently looking at is this:
20x9.5 +22 / 20x10.5 +25 with either

255/35/20F 285/30/20R

or

255/30/20F 305/25/20R

I think that I'm gonna have some slight rubbing issues on the front. As for the back, I'm thinking it should be fine.

daisuke149 · 02-01-2013, 03:31 PM

run 265 front.
you may end up getting a 5-10mm spacer for the rear.

Will Enkei NT03+M fit our Z? I haven't seen any 370z with them. Sorry I have little knowledge about wheels and tires. The biggest size they run are 18's.
