Mostly in the front (I don't have aftermarket camber adjustment) but in the rear I'm having to put my camber at around -4.5 to keep the poke and rubbing to a minimum. Without the excessive camber the tires poke about 3/4 of an inch at stock camber. I would rather not have so much negative camber so I can utilize my tire a little more. Should I go with the usual 265/305?

After looking over your wheel spec's again & seeing that you're already riding on pss's...to keep camber at or near stock...245/40,285/35's in the ps4s would fit evenly.
A tad stretched; (9.8/11.4" section & 8.5/10.0" tread-measured on wheel's 1" narrower than your's.....but even fitment & squish.
Tires will be lighter & faster/with a tad bit of rake@26.7/26.9".
You will lose the 3/4" of poke on front's & rear's....as these tire's are about 1.5" narrower than you have now...+ you will lose 16# of rotating mass=Faster acceleration!

I've got Michelin PSS. I am lowered on coilovers. I actually had to raise the front because the tires were rubbing so bad on dips in the road. You think I could do 265/305 with a closer to stock camber? Sorry, I'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff.

If you're on coilover's...then they should fit fine; you'll lose close to an inch in width-but will be more flexible with adjustments....+ you'll ditch that negative rake.

That's good news for me lol. Thanks bro. Btw, I believe you are staying in the cabin with Memphis370z and I at Zdayz.

Hello I'm getting offered some deep dish wheels that are 20x11 +15 offset all around for a good price. Will they fit? I guess I'll need to stretch tires?

OptionZero 04-10-2017 08:16 PM

Very aggressive front, ok rear.

I am running 20x11 +15 front with a 275/30/20. -3 deg camber, rolled fenders, and front bumper tab shaved. Zero rubbing, but you do need a shop that knows what it's doing and SPL front upper control arms to get it done.

Rears are ok. A bit more aggressive than the 19x10.5 +12 fitment that everyone runs in rear with a 305 tire, and its not really flush. 20x11 +0 would be needed to match the aggressiveness in front.

For reference . . .

Here's my ride height:

Ah thank you I really appreciate the help!

Sway 04-11-2017 05:09 PM

Okay I think I finally decided,

Wheels are Ferrada FR3s in 20x9 + 25 & 20x10.5 +15
with Nitto NT555 gen2s - 265/35/20 in the front and 305/30/20 in back.
SPC camber kit front and back, lowered just enough to close the fender gap on kw v3s
Wanting to run stock camber, with no poking out beyond the fenders.

What do you think? Will it fit? Rub? Those tires to big for that wheel size?
I don't want buldgy sidewalls.

Sounds good. The overall height is about 1/2" taller than stock spec but should be pretty even f/r so I wouldn't worry about it beyond it taking a little more toque to turn the increased diameter. Rest of the specs are bang on I'd say.

jchammond 04-11-2017 06:45 PM

"No Buldgy Sidewalls" may want to consider a 255/35,295/30/20...as these are more designed for the wheel width's that you posted & are an even 27.0"
Unsure if they're offered in the G2's

Wkd krkt 04-11-2017 08:29 PM

I just bought some Works

19x10 +8
19x11 0

First, will it clear? Second what tires do you guys recommend? A slight stretch I don't mind, but I don't like the aggressive stretch look.

Thanks in advance ✌🏽

? Unsure the negative camber you're planning to run; but most likely will be a stretched tire & smaller diameter than stock.
Here's a 285/35/19 on a 19x10+38....you're 1.2" further out with your wheel lip.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...046da989bd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ecf386b549.jpg

Option Zero will chime in with some expert advice,,,as he's running aggressive offset wheels!

OptionZero 04-11-2017 11:43 PM

just scroll up to see how my setup looks.

DPE_G is running a 20x11 +0 in back on a 285/30/20. Before he went bags he had about -2 camber in back (roughly stock). It's an aggressive size in back but looks damn good. Note that my 20x12 +20 is actually less aggressive and i am running a wider 315/25/20. I am also a -2 camber and have room to to up to a 325/25/20, which i might do on my next set of tires.


For your 19x11 +0 i would run 285/35/19. That is the same size that stock nismos use on a 19x10.5 +23 rim, and it's sunk as hell. It is more than doable. The mild, mild stretch will give you extra breathing room.

Checking the offset calculator, your 19x10 +9 fronts are 6mm LESS aggressive (stick out less) than my fronts of 20x11 +15. I am able to clear a 275/30/20 tire at -3 camber.

I would recommend the same size tire as stock, a 245/40/19. Note that stock nismo is 19x9.5, just a half inch more narrow. No problems fitting the tire on that size rim.

Given how much your front wheels will stick out, however, you will need SPL Front upper control arms for camber/caster adjustment. Stock camber is around -1; i bet you'll need around -2 to clear depending how low you are. I'd also roll your front fenders to avoid rubbing on bumps.


The last issue is BRAKE CALIPER CLEARANCE. this depends on the spoke design on your specific wheel; in particular which "disc" option your wheels have. Since you did not give us that info or what model, we cannot answer that question. It does not matter what width/offset your wheel is, the spoke design dictates clearance and that is specific for the manufacturer.

Summary:
Brake clearance - unknown without more info
tires - run 245/40/19 and 285/35/19, same as stock nismo. Your wheels are only half an inch wider than stock, i don't wanna hear about stretched tires for such a tiny difference.
get SPL FUCAs for camber adjustment

I've seen/heard of enough slammed and stanced cars in Houston to know there must be competent alignment shops in the area that can dial in your setup, so it shouldn't be hard to get it all put together

good luck
roll front fenders

Wkd krkt 04-12-2017 03:36 PM

Thanks guys, awesome responses... I bought the wheels off of rav spec. I have a 2012 nismo. The salesman assured me that the calipers would clear, I hope he was right...but thanks again guys, I was a lil worried about the aggressiveness, but I did want the aggressive look.. 👊🏽

Thanks dude 👍🏽. Yea, there's a shop out here that specializes in Z's... I just wanted to be sure to get tires on and ready for alignment. I don't like leaving my car anywhere over night. So I wanted to be ready so I can make an appointment and be in and out... again, thanks a bunch.
And I really did space out on the two set ups being only .5" different. Once I read that, I kinda felt dumb smh... but thanks 👊🏽

OptionZero 04-12-2017 05:41 PM

what Work wheels are they?
Rav Spec knows what its doing as they move alotta wheels for all sorts of cars

It should be easy enough to tell.

Just go to whatever page for your model of wheel here:
Products – WORK Wheels USA

Open up the size chart, find your offset/width, see what disc (A-Disc, T-disc, R-disc, etc.)

T-disc is the "big caliper" face design
All others will have correspondingly less brake clearance but more lip

Wkd krkt 04-12-2017 06:55 PM

I looked at my invoice hoping it would say it there, but it doesn't. When I ordered them, he told me the disk, but I totally forgot.

I bought me the CR2P

Wkd krkt 04-12-2017 06:58 PM

Emotion CR2P step lip

OptionZero 04-12-2017 09:02 PM

Size chart from this page
Emotion CR 2P – WORK Wheels USA

Probably "R-disc" front (no concave face) and "A=disc" rear (concave)

Unfortunately there is no way to get concave face in front that clears our brakes, at least not in a size from work. You'd need spacers to get concave fronts.

Wkd krkt 04-12-2017 09:15 PM

Werd, I'll post pics when I put them on. They should be here in a few weeks.

Anyone chime in? I'm looking to order SSR wheels and want to keep my 255/35/19 front with 305/30/19 rears. I'm lowered on coils and BURN through tires. I want drivability but don't want the sunk in crap also won't do spacers. Should I do 19x9.5 +25 or +12. I have sport akebono brakes. 19x11 +11 be good for the back? Thanks.

What camber specs are you looking to run, as with the +25F & 255/35,,,you could run near "0" or just a tad negative/ +12 with a bit of -camber is probably what you're looking for; as to match up with your +11 19x11 rears.
Front spacing is 4.25",4.75" w/19x9.5+25/+12's & 5.46" w/19x11+11's
Unsure about those wheels & brake clearance.

Wheels:
19x9.5 +20 F
19x11 +15 R

Tried going through this thread from the beginning but I have the worst ADD so it would probably take me a month to get through it so i figured i would just make a post. What size spacers do you guys think will make these sit flush or should they be pretty flush from the start? I will be lowered on coilovers when the wheels go on. Any help would be appreciated! :tiphat:

I have this same exact set up tires and all, lowered on coils and it sits perfect to me. I'm goin 325's next time just for more meat but the 305's are good enough by all means.:tiphat:

A +32/+25 9.5/11" wheel would sit in the same spot as my +38 10/12's.
1/4" further out than this would = +25/+19 9.5/11's
1/2" further out would = +19/+12 9.5/11's.
Only -0.75* camber all 4 corners...so more aggressive = more lean.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...95c16fb9c8.jpg

I've searched everywhere on this site and cannot find an answer. Will a 40 side profile tire fit the rear? As in 295/40/19?

OptionZero 05-19-2017 12:30 AM

Stock is 26.9 inch tire diameter

295/40/19 is 28.3

Nearly an inch and a half taller than stock, why the hell would you want to do that?

jchammond 05-19-2017 06:11 AM

Yes, they will fit with proper wheel size & camber setting

I'm having a hard time finding a suspension and wheel setup on 18" wheels.
I am on stock height on 9.5 +15 and 10.5s +15 245/275 setup. The front pokes definitely but that wheelgap!

What would be the max drop in the front for no rub? Something flush. Nothing insane..
Looking to add possibly 15 or 20mm in the back as well.

I'm trying to find a winter setup for my 370Z with sport brakes and 19" wheels.
I figured 18's since they're cheaper.
How's this setup? Will they fit over the sport brakes? What width should I get?
