2016 Base on stock rims and keeping them that way.

However, I can't stand stretch tires look myself, and need some wider meat to fill the wheel well.

Front: 225/50R18 on 18x8
Rear: 245/45R18 on 18x9

Tentative plan: Swap the current rears to the front and buy wider rears.

Front: 245/45R18 on 18x8
Rear: 295/40R18 on 18x9

Is the 295 pushing it? Stock suspension for now. Wouldn't mind a subtle drop but will see how the swap fills the wells first. I prefer square edge, or even a slight little bulge to stretched. There aren't a lot of 295's in that size so perhaps a 285 instead?

Thanks appreciate the input

Anyone with a similar setup by chance?

245/45 & 275/40's are my combo on stock base wheels...the 275 is about peak with the Nitto 555 G2's@11" section & 10" tread/ measuring the gap between beads is 9", they were a tighter fit than the 275/40 F1 Goodyears before.
245's go easily on the 8" wheel.

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you

Hi guys..

Ok 20x10 +28 fronts. And 20x11 +15. I assume both clear akebonos. .. on swifts... what tire sizes are recommended so there is no rubbing... thanks!

295s are way too much tire for a 9" wheel.

The "Will it fit?" thread
 

Advice Z family...

So it seems that 265(35)/305(30) is the size of choice for 9.5/10.5

What would y'all run on 9.5/11?

I'm going to; when $$$$ get pumped back up & a 325/30 on it

I'm thinking more of a 19x9,11 combo w/265 or 275's up front & 325's back

325 will be too tall.. 26.3 and 26.7 seems like a 315 may work but too bad there's nothing available in that size

Here are the specs...

F 20x10 +28 285 30 20
R 20x11 +15. 305 30 20

Lowered on swifts and have sport brakes... what do you all think... anyone running these specs?

Thanks!

The Rear looks good buy why the 20x10.0 +28 infront? Is that all they offer? I would lean towards a 9.5 +20ish wheel in front.

I'm sponsored by vertini... they send me wheels, I put them on and take photos and post ect ect... they want to send a 20x10 and a 20x11... I wish it was a 9 or 9.5....but after some research I figured 28 offset would be the best for my suspension setup... I think...

Edit I think I bought my lugs from ya lol. I'm in melbourne fl... any advice is appreciated

I run 265/35 and 305/30 RE-11s on my 9.5 and 11 Work wheels. The pics below were taken before the ride height and camber were adjusted. A different brand of tires will also provide a slightly different stretch.

Looks good thanks for the pics.

I prefer my tires to have somewhat of a "square" look. Looking at the pics I posted, I'm pretty sure a 10mm wider tire front and rear on the same width wheels will fit, and may even look better. Again, tires of a different brand will look differently.

looking to run a 18x10.5 +30 nto3+m
with a 275/35 or 285/35

any clearance issues with the bbk or the suspension?

I know " martin82 " on the forums runs 18x10.5 +30 NT03+M all around with 15mm-20mm spacers in the rear with 285/35

Will clear your sport brakes and inside suspension.

325/30/19@26.7"Diameter is factory height DW!
only 2.7% difference if i choose this Route (3%max) ; I just may like a slight rake on my Stock Ride Height,-1* camber on all 4 corner ~Z~

Factory height for 245/40 on a 9. The rear is smaller overall.

You got the nismo; my base has 245/45,275/40 26.7" all,,,oem 225/50/18 & 245/45/18
were .2" taller in front (negative rake) 325/30/19 & 265/35/19 (positive rake@.4" shorter in front) no problem with VDC or Traction control.

Yeah exactly..

But the difference is minimal June bug effect will go unnoticed

i may just put 255/40 & 345/30's on 19x8.5/12's

You know better then that. :icon23:

SC, RedNeck Look!

:icon23:

for now,these 32lb Nitto 275/40's are gripping well.

Please don't

He's being an :icon23:. :icon17:

315/30/19 is available. The Michelin super sports do come in that size.

Where did you see them available?

Does anyone know if a 19x9 +48 rim will fit in the rear for our cars? I know it will definitely clear the fender but what I'm concerned about is if it will hit the inner fender wall or suspension.

EDIT: Suspension is stock

The shop I deal with can order them no problem, i told him there was no such size and he actually ordered them nd returned them just o prove me wrong. I am 100% sure they exist.

Pilot Super Sport Correct?

Not: sport cup 2

Iam going to check tomorrow for you dude, just to make sure. I am pretty sure it was super sport , not cup 2

That'd be amazing

If they don't hit the brakes they will clear; 6.89" backspacing on a 9"+48,,,base 18" rear wheels are 9"+15 with 5.61" backspacing....I've seen Z's with more than 7.5" backspacing on the rear wheels.

HI there,
Saw one too many new threads which OP was flamed so I thought I would ask my question in this already existing thread. I am not a newb to cars whatsoever and I contribute a descent amount to this forum considering Its been a short while so hopefully I can get some assistance as the section of wheels is something I am not extremely confident in.

I own a 2012 with sport brakes. Before going into my questions, I never track my car, going more for looks than performance, currently stock suspension but considering Eibach springs for mild drop ( I can't do 1" drop for these roads/lifestyle), and I do not want poke past the fender, or if anything just minimal. Def don't want to see the front tires sticking out while looking at it from the front.

My questions is as followed:
1. I want to run Rohana RC7 20x10" +25 on the front. It seems this may poke out based on the chart I found (posted below). I was also told it may not clear the brakes and a spacer will be needed which basically could bring the offset to +20 possibly, will this look strange?
I want the 10" for more concave on the front is the only reason. I am aware of this wheel brand and it not being the best wheel so I don't need comments on that.

2. Rear is 20 x11" +28, I understand I will probably need to get this around +17/+18 with a spacer to make it flush against the rear quarter panel. I don't want to use spacers but it's so hard to find wheels with perfect offset specs. I'm guessing these specs are safe but wanted to clarify.

3. Is it safe to assume that I can go off of similar offset specs on those with 19 x 10 in the front as wheel height (whether it's 19 or 20) isn't going to have a difference on depth? Hope that made sense.

I understand every 1/2" width increase is about 6mm gain. Below is a chart I found somewhere along the threads I've read and wanted to see if it holds true. Also a pic of the wheels on someone's car but those were 9" on the front.

My biggest concern is question #1 and if I have to use spacers to lower the offset, how much more it would stick out.

Would really appreciate some assistance with those running 20" and similar specs. THank you.

Daniel; go to the [official]370z wheel fitment guide (pics/specs) only & ck out some of the Cra there & notice their camber settings/// Camber plays huge role in choosing correct offset wheels for flush fitment.
If you're going to do a suspension mod/ you may want to do it before choosing offset wheel.
Normally a 1" staggered setup would require 10-13 more + offset than rear.
Look at some of these cars, I'm thinking a couple are running 10" wide on front w/around +30 or so....I definitely agree with you wanting the perfect fit before ordering wheels/that is why I have my suspension aligned to my preference & have good hub-centric spacers to flush my stock wheels....Good luck & message me anytime; as lots of members can help.

Hi jchammond,
Thank you for your input. I have looked through that entire thread and by seems my specs will be okay but sometimes it's a little difficult to be certain.
I am completely aware a lot about fitting will vary on tire sizes (stretch) and camber settings. Ideally I would like to keep the camber within oem specs simply just for tire wear. I am aware many are running close to 2 degrees camber to ft more aggressive wheels.
I guess what I am really looking for is someone with similar specs to chime in and confirm these offsets would fit fine without having to run a high amount of negative camber or even close to oem specs.
As much as I want to heed your advice, I really would like to see how my car sits with these new wheels before dropping because ultimately I hate to drop his car as I can't get into my workplace. My cars not daily but I like to take it to work at times. I need to see if it will clear and if it looks bad, I'll do a mild drop to compensate. I do have a full amuse style kit which helps to make the car look lower. Practicality is my ultimate goal here. Tired of low life which I had wth my static ls430.

Billet (username) has helped me or a bit and I appreciate everyone's input.

Thank you all. hope to get more input.
