18x9 +25
 

Was looking at a set of cosmis xt 005Rs warped in 245s in the front and 275s in the rear. I have the nismo BBK as well, but I’m running 15mms spacers in the front and 25mm in the rear. I’m not to worried about how it looks I just want to be able to get some cheaper tires to track.

18x10 +40 square
 

So I know for a fact this will fit, my main question is would it matter if the tire size was 255/35/18 square, the over height is 25.03 iirc my current setup is 26.6 (275/40/18). Will any lights pop on the dash with such a small tire? Only asking because a set of Volk ze40s popped up for a great deal but the owner refuses to separate tire from wheel. Tires are brand new so if I can run it for a little I will.

Long as you stay within 3% front to rear. You're ok.

Thank you! can’t wait to run rubber band tires haha

I think the base rear tires are 245s so running 255 square isnt THAT bad.

Aodhan Ds02
 

Hey Guys,

I wanted to get some recommendations on a wheel set up. I was looking adohan ds02 with a spec of 19x11 +15 all around. For the rears, I was thinking to go with a 285/35. I’m just not sure what tire size to go with in the front. I was thinking 255/35 or 265/35. I just don’t want to rub like crazy in the front since I am lowered on H&R springs. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you :icon17:

Those fronts aren’t gonna work without...work

17 NISMO :: stock suspension at the moment but will most likely be going swifts and koni yellows

having trouble finding forged monoblocks in the sizing I want.
looking for lightweight wheels so I do not hinder performance with heavy wheels.
hard to find 19x9.5 & 19x10.5 sizing in many wheels I find online.

However I have found SSR GTF01's in that size. Thoughts? Offsets on both are +22
Stock nismo offsets are +40F & +23R

Will these wheels poke out more?

Need some help in pointing me in the right direction.

Also, if I did go with these wheels... recommendations on tire size?
Looking for best performance setup.

Should I keep the 245's in the front and 285's out back? or go wider?

FYI I have used the search function, but not much out there for 15+ nismos.

Check out ForgeLine wheels. They will make the rims to your spec's. :tup:

so many options... so many widths and variations...

:icon14::icon14::icon14::icon14::icon14::icon14:

I just want to be as flush, clean, and performance centric as possible.


Might just take it to a tuning shop and be like.... here.... make it look right:icon17:

don't be lazy
educate yourself
READ THIS THREAD
http://www.the370z.com/wheels-tires/...questions.html

You are doing yourself a disservice if you do not read before spending a dime. It'll take you less than an hour to do research. You need to understand:
Height
alignment
wheel spec
tire spec
and how these all interact


and buy 19x9.5 +22, 19x10.5 +12 with 265/35/19 and 305/30/19

Gram Lights
Volk Racing
Work Emotion
Advan

Are all quality brands that make wheels available in those sizes (or thereabouts)

thanks Option... good info.

I'm a perfectionist, so this is rather stressful lol

SSR GTF01's are +22 offsets for both front and rear... If i were to get them would rear spacers be needed or would the different wheel specs take care of that?

19x9.5 front +22
19.10.5 rear +22

You can do 10mm spacer if you really want but alot of people. Suggest just running +22 front rear to avoid clearance issues.

skip the lame shock/spring combo

Simple build path:

good entry level coils (Fortune, Powertrix

SPL FUCA and rear arms

something forged or quality cast from a reputable wheel company in 19x9.5 +22 or 19x10.5 +12 (or more aggresive)

265/35/19 and 305/30/19 rubber in a summer compound (don't go all the way down to a 200 TW tire on your daily or you'll be setting money on fire)

throw them all on and go to a quality CUSTOM alignment shop
dial in around -2 camber

done. no rubbing, no fender mods needed, you can drive aggressively assuming the rest of your car is maintained

phase 2 (performance)
a second set of wheel/tire in 18x10.5 or 18x11 +15ish, 200TQ max perf tires
new rotors, pads and fluid
helmet
track day pass
win

or

phase 2 (hard park)
roll/pull fenders
air or air/cup
step up to 3 piece wheels or forged 20inch from Rays/Advan

do it right
get wheels that fit correctly
spacers are for fine brake clearance adjustment or losers who didn't research their wheel fitment ahead of time

SSR GTF01 comes in 20 inch
Get the 20x9.5 +22 and 11 +15
It fits the same

You just need to adjust the aspect ratio from 19's
Run 245/35/20 and 285/35/20 (same widths as a nismo) and there is plenty of space

There's actualy room for more tire but 20 inch tire sizing gets a little bit more limited. I believe 275/30/20 and 315/25/20 is something readily available but i haven't dug around recently for 20 inch tires

If you are set on a 5 spoke design, i would suggest:

Rays Gram Lights 57CR
https://www.rayswheels.co.jp/product...=en&wheel=57CR

or

Nismo 57CR
same wheel with additional detailing

or

Work Emotion T5R

Forgestar VF5
I have no personal experience with them but owners seem happy enough with them
https://www.forgestar.com/wheels/rot...ck-series/cf5/

or
Advan GT Premium
similar design, both 19 and 20 inch sizes, forged construction, expensive
YOKOHAMA WHEEL | Brand | ADVAN Racing GT -Premium Version- for Japanese Cars

this is excellent feedback, thank you for taking the time to specify for me.

i will definitely have to do coilovers to get the fitment dialed in perfectly.


my only concern with 20s would be ride height and and performance hindrance, if that even applies. I'm assuming getting the right tire size for 20s wouldn't make the Z sit higher off the ground.

correct
when the wheel diameter goes up with tire's aspect ratio (sidewall height) goes down accordingly

that is covered in the thread i linked you

19 vs 20 does not dictate ride height. overall diameter does

:wtf2:

Fitment
 

2009 Nissan 370z. Just bought a set of rpf1s in the sbc finish. 18x9.5+15 F and 18x10.5+15 R. Now i just ordered my tires and i got the Firestone indy500 275/35/18 R and 255/35/18 upfront. Im currently lowered on H&R springs. Does anyone know if the fitment will be somewhat okay? I realistically just want the fitment to be flush and close most if not all of the gap without any slight rubbing. My friend is running the same setup so i just went with somewhat the same specs. But he’s way lower than me (bc’s) Any help/info would be good. If I need to switch it up i will try to swap the tires out for something else. I also don’t want to go crazy wide in the rear, for me I personally don’t think theres a point of running 305s considering i daily the car. Just wanted something to close the rear wheel gap but also be sort of meaty. And the front i could care less just want something to match so the fitment looks good.

You have 14 posts on this forum and 5 have been about the exact same ******* wheel setup

and your friend has the EXACT SAME FITMENT ON THE SAME CAR?

Please read your own post and realize how incoherent it is

:icon18:

Do i look like someone who cares? If im asking its because no one has given me a clear answer. Now if you don’t have an answer for me kindly piss off 😂

Can’t imagine why you ain’t getting replies

The "Will it fit?" thread
 

Your post is just hard to read so it’s hard to give advice. You want an opinion and at the end of the day, there’s no correct answer to your question. Especially when you’re putting a personal (pretty controversial) opinion into the post. “Personally I don’t think there’s a point of running 305s considering I daily the car.”
I daily mine on 325s rear and 295/ front. How do we know what your “somewhat ok” means?
There’s over 3000 posts in here. Just go look at pictures and make your own judgment.

Or just...look at his friends car?

305's are not meaty on the rear.

New to this wheel game, some help will be appreciated. I did try to do as much research before posting here, so here are my unanswered questions.

Currently I am looking to get some Yokohama Advans RG 3, I am also looking for some good tires (all seasons) any recommendations would be great.
These are the following rims and tire sizes I am looking at.. Please correct me if I am wrong or if I am running something dangerously crazy. Wont be for track use (maybe once or twice a year but never tracked before), reason for all season tires is that I live in Canada. We always have dramatic weather no matter what, recently (a few days ago) we experienced snow in the middle of May. However, This will be mostly ridden for the spring-fall seasons.
Fronts : 19x9.0 114.3 / +25mm Tires : 255/45R19 OR 245/45R19
Rears : 19x10.5 114.3 / +25mm Tires: 295/45R19 OR (If I can find any) 305/45R19 tires

They don't seem to make a +15mm offset for the fronts. They do make a 19x10.5 with a 15mm offset, will that be able to workout? Or will it there be potential rubbing at that size (front wheels)? I am looking for a flush or a bit poking out look (not sure what the terminology is). I will be replacing out my coil-overs to the KW Variant 3 or 2, I am also not going for a "slammed" out look. Will it even fit? I am trying to find the stock offset for the 370z Sport rims, can't seem to find them with any luck. Not sure what minimum offset I should be looking at since I have the big Nissan Sport brakes. I am extremely lost on the offset part.

I understand that ideally you want to purchase both wheels and coil-overs at the same time, however I am not strapped of cash... My online research suggest that I should go coil-overs first then the wheels vice versa.... Some forums says that it doesn't matter. What should I be doing first? Currently I am running the stock suspensions and wheels from the 18" 370z Sport.

Check out OZs thread here.http://www.the370z.com/wheels-tires/...tart-here.html

I personally would purchase coilovers and get your suspension in order before wheels. You will avoid the monster truck look and also be able to figure out sizing and how things will look especially if going wider than stock.

Thanks, that helped a lot. I now understand offset more clearly. Going to be going with a +15 mm offset on the rears, and a +45 mm on the fronts.

Good idea, the sport OEM tires and wheels doesn't look too bad. If it was lower it wouldn't look too bad. Will I need an alignment if I were to get coil-overs? Will not be purchasing the tires and rims for at least another 6 months. I mean I can just not install them and wait till I get the tires, but who wants to do that? :driving:

255/45-19 is 28.1" tall. 295/45-19 is 29.5" tall. That's 5% difference. Your dash is going to light up. You have to stay under 3% difference. A 295/40-19 on the rear will be great. It's 28.3" tall. That's only a .8% difference. 245/45-19 with a 295/40-19 is cutting it close to the 3%. It's 2.3%.

Yes, if you add coil-overs (or change other suspension parts), you'll want to get an alignment.

:iagree:

And any time you change ride height too.

The Advan RG3 is not really designed for our cars; the sizes just aren’t there. A +45 front is terrible

Check out the Advan R6, a newer wheel that is basically an evolution of the style with a lip and available in better sizes.

The reason for coilovers, wheels AND SUSPENSION ARMS is to set height and alignment one time.

20x10.5 +24 with a 245/35
20x12 +20 with 285/30

If you want a meaty look, 285/30 front and 325/25 rear, but those sizes are probably gonna be for summer and track tires


If you read my thread again carefully you will see that offset DOES NOT determine brake clearance. Individual spoke design does.
The R6 will clear GTR brakes so they will clear ours easily

Hey thanks for helping me out, I just finished reading your post and it very helpful thanks a lot! Yeah, I spent the whole day trying to learn about suspension and wheel-set ups. So I think I know more? ish?

I really LOVE the look the RG 3s, It's such a shame that they aren't really made for our Zs.... I'm honestly determined to get the RG 3s in. Not a fan of the look on those R6, I think that's waay to big and funky for my liking. I am also pretty sure that these can fit the Nissan Sport brakes, I've seen many 350z running RG 3s with those big wilwood or brembo kits.

Currently I am thinking of doing the following.
Fronts: 19x9 + 25mm (19x10.5 + 25mm) w/ 245/45-19 Tires
Rears: 19x10.5 + 15mm w/ 295/40-19 Tires

Not sure if an extra inch in the front will cause it to get wheel-bite, if so I guess I'll try to roll out the fenders. Or just go with the lesser 19x9 + 25mm.

I thought about going the squared route (19x10.5 + 25mm) but that would require some spacers in the rears. Not sure if I am comfortable with running 10-15mm spacers.... Also probably isn't a great Idea.

245/45-19 on the fronts, with a 295/40-19 on the rear it is!

Hi guys,
Looking to get some new wheels and needing some help.
Can I do:
Rear - Work CR Ultimate (Kiwami) Wheel - 19x11 / 5x114.3 / +18mm Offset (275/30/19)
Front - Work CR Ultimate (Kiwami) Wheel - 19x9.5 / 5x114.3 / +25mm Offset (245/35/19)
Both are deep concave style. Will these clear the brakes and have a flush look?

Unsure about clearing the brakes with those wheels; but the offsets are doable.....tires are awl fully small :ugh2:
