350z touring v2 wheels
 

I am considering getting a cheap set of 350z touring 18in wheels for winter tires. I have seen on here that they are supposed to clear the sport brakes (but no pics). I realize this will likely look like crap. However aside from that, what effects might it have on the handling/etc and if I decide, what spacers would be appropriate?

350z touring v2 specs
18x8 front
+30
225/45-18

18x8.5 rear
+33
245/45-18

Comparing to the sport wheels seems the front would be 0.7 inches smaller diameter, rear 0.1 inches larger.

touring had 18x8s all around. but they fit and you want a 15-25mm spacer in the rear.

The second touring version were 8.5s in the back, at least according to the internet. But thanks

sup Z forums i have a 350z 06 and i was wondering what kind of tire size should i go with the enkei pf01 18x9.5 +15 F and 18x10.5 +15 R i dont want it to rub, the z is lower and i want to use the rims for track n dd any advice?

Thanks to ALL!!!

Anyone running 325/30-19 in the rear? Any issues?

I don't think anyone is running that combo. The only one close is a 20x12 and he's got 325/25/20 in the rear.

Planning to mount them on 19x12 +5 wheels.

19x12 +5 with 325 = i hope ur extremely lowered and run alotta camber

Doesn't Mike @ UAM run a 19x12 +0 with minimal camber? I think he's stretched with a 305 though.

His are stretched quit a bit and hes really slammed and his camber isnt minimal per say. He could chime in

Mike (White Dragon) is on 20's.

taken from mikes post

20x10 +15 (BBK Disk)
20x12 +0 (BBK Disk)
Falken 452's 255/305
HKS Hipermax III on a 3" drop or more
Camber Currently: -2.5F and -2.7R camber (will be going -3.3 rear)
Rim weight: Fronts under 24lbs and Rears under 26lbs

so with a 2.7 camber he was still poking a bit.

Let me clarify my wheel specs. Sport wheel specs with 25 mm spacers and widened 2 inches towards the inside. By my calculations this should have the same clearance from the struts as stock sport wheels without spacers therefore I should have no clearance issues as I am going wider towards the inside not out. Any thoughts much appreciated.

will 245/45/18 tires fit the front? Looking to get some snow tires for the base 18 and be able to rotate them later on. Or should i go 225/50/18 all around? Will it affect the abs and stability control with all 4 tires the same size? thanx guys

1inch = 25mm.

so if you widen 2 inches towards the inside you will need a 50mm spacer to keep it at the same point as without widening / spacers.

Lol! You're right... now I remember why I didn't enjoy math class. =P

In any case, there does appear to be a lot of room back there still so could my setup work?

will 275/35/19 and 19x9.5 +22 fit fronts?

should. I run 275 on a 10" wide with +27 offset. I could have gone +33 which i should have done so i can run a 295 : /

widening the rear 2 inches and adding a 25mm spoiler essentially gives you a 19x12 + 30 wheel.

I run a 20x12 + 20 and it pokes out about 8mm. but i also run a 325 tire and have very little camber and am not lowered.

If you lower your car and run camber around -2 ish and a 325 tire you may consider a 30mm spacer or even 35. But the good thing about spacers is that they are relatively cheaper. So do the setup, get the tire you want and then when you put it on you can see how big you want to go beyond 25mm spacer.

I think 245 will fit fine.

Should fit with a bit of camber. Hated1 run 275s up front, you might want to check out his ride.


Wow, you're not lowered with camber?! Your wheels and tires are WIDE!

thanx for the reply

well im lowered like .25" is all. Camber is like 1.2ish

I'm actually getting adjustable camber arms to correct my negative camber in the rear... The answer I'm looking for is if there is enough room towards the inside of the wheel well to accommodate widened sport wheels on 25mm spacers with 325 tires?

hrmm. ill try and sneak under the car to see how much room there is.

your basically 10-15mm more in than me is whats gonna happen

I am sure I could dig up the information from this thread or at least figure it out with the information in here... but perhaps someone can save me from having to dive in..

can anyone tell me what offset i would want to run a rear 335/30/18 on a 18x12 wheel and zero camber? off the top of my head i guessing like a 20 but i bet someone knows way better than i do.

0 camber. +20 would be low.

I cant tell exactly due to the fact that you might be lowered

I am lowered .5" and run around 1.2" camber and my tire / wheels poke out about 8mm. But they dont rub cus when it compressed they tuck in.

But my offset is +20

I would say about a +30, but then if your lowered alot a +20 might do : /

Dont know how lowering certain amounts changes the offset you could run.

I am running the H&R springs and I dont imagine that I will want to lower the car anymore. Although I wish it was lower for appearance, but the chassis on the car is very low to the ground relative to body height, more so I believe that my 350z was... because my 350z "looked" lower to the ground but I didnt seem to have as many issues with actually contacting things on the ground as I do in this car while it appears higher.

thanks for the reply BTW. I should probably do a bunch of measuring off my current setup and then I can come up with the numbers.

im sure its been answered before but im having trouble finding a concrete answer. i need to know if the Enkei RPF1 18x10 et38 fit over the front sport package brakes, if so, is there any pics?

Have read just about every post in wheels/tires but found no definitive answer.
How do 275/35-19s fit on the stock rays sport package fronts. With no drop or spacers. It seems that it's ok on the nismo rays but I'm concerned about the only 9" width and the +47 offset. Will the bulge from the only 9" wide rim in combination with the +47 cause rubbing on the inner fenders or suspension with steering at full lock?
Only reason I,m thinking about 275/35 is it is closest to stock height and plan to squeeze 305/30 on the stock 10" wide rears.

Are you talking about running a 275/35 on the stock 19x9 front sport wheel?

Yes... it WILL fit. I'm not sure how well it's going to work because like you said, the tire is going to mushroom over. The width of the 275 is a little over 10.8 inches wide.

It really might rub the inner area at full lock.

Are you opposed to running a small spacer? Maybe 15mm just in case?

I'm kinda stuck right now just picked up the car and dropped 5k on sounds 2k on exhaust,intake and now I need new rubber. Trying to avoid spacers on the front since it will sorta force me to put spacers on the rear and I really haven't decided on any wheels yet.
I guess I can go with 265s or 255s to avoid any problems for now. Would be nice to know if someone has ever tried 275s on the stock sport front rays.

It's not a really popular thing to do because the front rim is so small and has a high offset.

Why don't you just wait and get the right size wheels and tires...?

Having those big tires on a car that isn't lowered might look funny.

just bought a set of used wheels, 19*10.5 +7 fr (245 tyres) and 19*11.5 +17 r (255 tyres) will they fit nicely? do I need to do negative camber? I'm planning to drop my car on coilover.

you def could have gone wider in the rear.....i had a +0 offset and fit a 305/30 no problems...but i was on a 10.5 wheel....still u have alot more room then a 255 man..

OMG...that's some skinny tires. Are you going for hellaflush? Don't ever hit the gas or you will go sliding all over and maybe even spin out. A lot of people run 265 front and 305 rear. With wheels that wide even a 305 will be a bit stretched in the rear.

I got a set of the Advan grade Rims off a member here that are
20x10 +20. All the rims are the same size.

The tire shop I am at refuses to put tires on my rims because he claims that they are not going to work. As in I'll be rubbing badly when I am am full lock. Also saying that I will have the rims poking out a lot. In the front.

Planning on going 275/30/20 in the front at stock height. Will I be fine? He said that if I insisted he will do it but i won't get any money back if it doesn't work.

Thanks in advance.

Check his setup out. 20x11 with 285's up front and 20x13 345's in the rear.
