18 v 19 v 20 it doesn't matter
comes down to purpose and execution

18's can look badass:

Didn't know they made a 20x12 te37 :yum:

dude thats what i have, been running it for 2 years. It's the standard rear GTR fitment so Mackin actually stocks it stateside (in bronze and gunmetal)

315/25/20 with room to spare
-2 camber

Alignment guy said 325 would be easy peasy

Hit up Tom @ SpeedImageUSA if thats what u want

I think they look good on 20s
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Depends on stance

Yeap, get it wrong and it looks like a DONK. LMAO

Thanks.

My DONK was sitting at about 1-1/4" lower than stock ride height.

My rears measure at appx 27.5" with a 20x11 & 305/30/20

Looks good to me. I found my paperwork. Mine was set at 26-3/4". Nice to see I'm not the only one driving a DONK. Maybe we should form a club. We can do some rock crawling. :rofl2:

Lol. Not sure why my car looks lower than yours though (other than yours being all black) �� What wheel/tire sizes are you running?

Exact same specs as yours.

I thought you said you could only go 1/2in. lower than stock or you would rub. LMAO.



Here's what you posted:

That's my problem. I can't lower it on 19's, even a smidgen, especially with 35f/30r. With 20's I gain 3/4" in ride height from tires and then I can lower it 3/4" to 1" with suspension and get it back to stock or a smidgen lower than stock ride height. If I stayed at stock ride height with 35f/30r 19's the fender to tire clearance would be huge and really look goofy. Just my opinion. One trade off for another. I can't have the best of both worlds. There are a lot more wheel and tire combos available in 19's, I would much rather be on them. 20's just work better in my situation.

My suspension was done 2 years ago. I couldn't remember what the specs were. I found my paperwork and it showed 26-3/4". That's about an inch lower than stock ride height. And it did rub and if I backed straight out of my parking spot it would high center. And why are you so concerned about ride height, suspension set up is paramount.

I know the 19” sport rays have been discussed to death already but I spent 2 hours reading forum posts and I’m only more confused than when I started. So if someone could just tell me what to do I would appreciate it.

I hate understeer far more than oversteer (I actually enjoy being able to whip out the back). I don’t mind the car feeling darty. I have 20mm+25mm spacers if necessary

Options are:
255/35
295/30
The “safe” choice that I will go with if no one can help. These seem to be somewhat popular however, I really don’t want to increase stagger and induce even more understeer.

265/35
295/30
Less popular choice, but I have no idea what sort of issues I would have running this

Lastly,
265/35
285/35
Some people run this, but opinions seem to be all over the place.

Go wide as you can on the front. Think nothing less then a 275 if you are that worried about understeer. :driving:

A 275 on a 9" wide wheel? :icon14:

Rim range is 9 to 10 inch. 9.5 being the sweet spot. Depending on which tire. I prefer the Mich PS4S.

What’s your suspension/alignment specs?

thanks for your input rusty and 370z

right now mostly stock suspension (just got a front sway bar which I'm still playing around with). I will be putting on Swift springs and SPL FUCA+rear camber arms as well, which I have already ordered.

Alignment is stock as well, which I wasn't the happiest with, but once the springs and arms came in I was planning to initially go

front
caster maxed (up to 7.5)
camber -2.0
toe 0

rear
camber -1.5
toe +0.04 or 1/32"

see how it drives, and then adjust from there. I may want more negative camber up front if my tires dont wear too much and less rear negative camber for straight line launching if it is a problem (or more if it isn't)

The 295/30’s are full figured on the 10” wheel & 26.15” diameter in the Michelin PS4S,,,the width of the 265 would probably be the same fullness width wise; but it’s advertised at 26.3”...a slight negative rake.
255/35,295/30 combo would be nearly same diameter with good fit...lowering car,you could still push the wheels outward quite a bit-considering how the oem Sport wheels are sunk pretty well. :ugh2:

The alignment after you get the arms will make a difference. Hell, u can go to -3 camber

I think the swift springs have a 1.2" f drop and 1.0" r. Does this result in 0.2" of positive rake or am I mistaken?

So then the 0.15" negative rake from the 265/295 setup would be offset by the positive rake of 0.2" from springs correct? Or would I want even more positive rake compared to OEM?

Getting ready to place an order on some Work CR 2P, but want to get confirmation I'm looking at the correct offset. I have stock suspension with Sport Brakes:

Seems to be the safe choice:
Front:
19x9.5 +25 (275/35-19)
Type R Disk

Rear:
19x11 +15 (325/35/19)
Type A Disk

I was thinking of trying
19x9.5 +23
19x11 +13

But i'm not sure if this will be too much for the stock suspension.

Thanks for your help!

Don't think it'll look good with stock suspension
also concerned about that much tire on those specs rubbing

Those sizes are fine with even a mild drop tho

You really should go suspension before wheels, if you can't do both at the same time

I got 19x10 +20 R disk and 19x12 +20 A disk. Hopefully to wrap in 275/35R19 and 335/30R19 NT05's. I have Fortune Auto coilovers though so I've got some adjustment there.

I ran the 19x9.5 +25 with the 275/35-19 on front with stock suspension for a while with no issues.

Need help with tire fitment!
 

Hello, I recently bought the two front Nitto Invo’s 245/35/19 second-hand off someone and wanted to know if they would fit on the 2015 OEM sport rays.. On websites the recommended is 245/40/19.

Thank you for the help!

Welcome. :tiphat:

Are you running the stock-size tires in the rear - 275/35/19? If so, you're going to have nearly an inch of difference in diameter between the stock rears and the used fronts you bought, which is just over a 3% difference. Potentially, this can cause issues with the traction control and VDC systems.

Will these fit?

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...ba5d116e_b.jpg

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...8b506cb4_b.jpg

No...............they won't fit. Looks like specs for a Civic. And they would look better on a Civic too.

What if I flip them and run them backwards?

:tup:

Looking at purchasing Gram Lights 57CRs in 19x9.5 +25 (F) and 19x10.5 +12 (R)...wondering if these will clear my Akebonos and fitment wise (flush/poke if any). I'm currently on a subtle 1in drop.

On the fitment page on Rays website, it designates icons to specific chassis'...one being 350 & 370 and another solely 370. I'm starting to think one is sports model and one is not when referencing the 370 icon? https://www.rayswheels.co.jp/product...=en&wheel=57CR

Any input would be greatly appreciated as vendors I've contacted haven't been able to give a clear response.

I'm 99% sure the fronts will clear, particularly bc there is a Z w/ sport brakes in the car gallery on that page

They will not be flush by most definitions, but much, much better than stock and look fine with appropriate tire sizes (265/305 is what most people do)

Also:
https://www.z1motorsports.com/rays/n...r-p-15189.html

Z1 is selling these same wheels (with a nismo logo) and says they'll clear sport brakes

Hey man! Not sure if you tried contacting me or not but I have sold this exact same setup to someone running Akebonos and it fit just fine. In fact, I have photos for you! Please hit me up if you want to get a set of these.

Customer didnt tell me his suspension setup. But it does look to be stock height. So this should give you an idea. But I have sold plenty of wheel setup similar to this and you will be fine with your 1 inch drop. It will be a little inside fender. He also got a set of the Black/Blue center caps and the new Project Kics Monolith lugs from us as well.

Longtime lurker, first time poster.

I'm looking to buy a set of wheels for autocross and I'm wanting to go 18x9.5 on all 4 corners without spacers. I'm less concerned about looks and more concerned about overall performance/ability to rotate the tires.

So far, I've narrowed my search down to:
Enkei PF07 18x9.5 +40 for the front
Enkei PF07 18x9.5 +15 for the back

According to willtheyfit, they should be pretty close to stock '13 nismo specs. But I've also seen some people suggest just running +15 all around.

How far off base am I? I'm also open to suggestions if anyone has any. This wheel stuff is new to me. Thanks in advance!

If you have the Akebono Sport brakes, you will probably need the +15. Even will non-sport brakes I would personally go with the +15 all around. Have you considered a wider wheel (10 or 10.5 ~+25 offset)?

Yeah, I've got the Akebonos. Wouldn't +15 in the front introduce quite a bit of poke?

With regard to the 10/10.5, I found that 9.5 was the sweet spot for tire cost/performance. Putting 10/10.5's on all 4 would be nice, but a bit expensive.

Hey guys!!!

Quick question before I spend money on something that won't work.

I have been running enkei rpf1s 18x10.5 +15 all around.

I had some 265/35/18 tires on all 4 corners and they are perfect. No rubbing at all. I found a set of Firehawk indy500s for a good price that had a bigger sidewall but should fit fine.

275/40/18 are the tires that I just got put on.

The front rub a little when I fully compress the springs over a bumps in the road. Otherwise they are fine. I wanted to know if I could get away with a little camber in the front or would I have to roll my fenders?

Currently on Swift springs with stock shocks/struts.

Thanks in advance!!
