Are those good offsets or will I need spacers for either setup? Also, you guys think I can go with NISMO size tires or regular sports size tires?

Thanks

You will need spacers in the back. If you have the sport package, +25 in the front is good, but the rears you will require some spacers (15mm probably). It also depends on the tire sizes you want to run.

Thanks! I did forget to mention I have the sports package ....I'm thinking either 245/275 or 245/285 do u think I can run wider tired? And no spacer?

A local here is running 305s

Damn that is wide lol

I am running 275 in the front and 305 in the back, no issues. With smaller tire sizes, you can run very low offsets in the back

Those are some meaty tires

Correct me if I'm wrong but I just want to make sure I understandhow this works correctly... If run OEm size tires I won't need spacers? Or is it the other way around?

That depends on the combination of tire size, wheel width, offset and your appearance goals. I can say for certain that 19x10.5 +22 w/ 305x30 has no fitment issues in the rear. I say that spacers are needed because there is a gap between the tire and fender, not that the wheels won't fit.

Oh I see what u mean now about the fitment and space. They're basically two different things lol ... So if I could get the rears with 19x10 +35 I won't need to run a spacer correct?

If you run stock tire sizes, you will need spacers (you never need spacers, just looks nice). As I mentioned, with stock tire sizes in the back, you can go as +5 to flush with the fender. and in the front you can go as low as +28 (safe to clear sports brakes) .

Posted this in the wheel spacer 101 thread, but this thread appears to be more active, so this might help some of you. As Clkio mentioned above though, this is simply for wheel poke, you need to consider clearing your calipers.

Hey guys, had some time to kill at work, so I made this that should help answer general questions.

Green cells indicate stock wheel poke.
Blue cells indicate flush at stock height.
Yellow cells indicate wheel poke for lowered Z's. Approximately flush at -2 camber rear and -1 camber front is at the highest yellow cell for each given wheel width.
Red cells indicate wheel poke PAST the fender ON A LOWERED Z, I would not recommend any of these sizes. (unless you're going for stance and such, but you should be doing your own calculations for that).

How to figure out what size spacer you need to be flush? If you are lowered, look for yellow cells, stock height look for blue cells.

Lets use the stock wheel sizes and suspension. 10 wide et30 for the rear. Find in the chart and you see 97mm of wheel poke. Look for the blue cell in the 10 width. You see is at et5 This means you can fit a 25mm spacer on the stock wheel to reach flush. Do the same for the front, 9 wide et47. To reach flush (et 25) you can use 22mm of spacers.

Wow super informative chart - subbed for future resource! How did you test to figure this all out?

Just with some math and such. I'm probably going to look up inner wheel well clearance for maximum inner poke, differences at different camber, and wheel sizes. And maybe tire sizes.

Slow days at work lead to productive days on Z stuff.

Personally i'm running 10.5x20et6 in the rear and 9x20et20 in the front. Lowered on kwv3 down 1.7 inches rear 2 inches front. Pics upon my new lugs getting here Friday...

Would I be able to run a 265 or 275 size tire on the front with a 19x9.5 +20 wheel?

I am lowered on coilovers. Roughly how much camber would be needed in comparison to sticking with a 255?

20x10+15 245/35/20 front 20x12 +15 295/30/20? on kw v3 with front and rear spl camber arms

Tires are small for those rim widths.
