This has it's + and -. By adding camber you will allow the car to corner better than stock. however you increase tire wear and increase rear end instability. But there is a fix called adjusting your toe. By adjusting the toe inward inthe rear (kinda like pointing your toes together) slightly you will regain tire life and keep rear end stability with the added benefits of the added camber. Now each persons setup and likes and dislikes will be different. I will be more than happy to help with suspension questions as well.
This is great knowledge for me... Is it only ness to adjust the toe for tires 295 and up in the rear? I plan on ordering maybe 285s to have it flush.. But I would like all of the wheel to hug the floor for a squared look

Brand of tire will make big difference. Your tire specs are 25.8" diameter...about 1" shorter than stock & will stretch somewhat on that sized wheel. More popular sizes are 265/35 & 305/30 at 26.3" or 255/35 & 295/30 @ 26.1"....I can't spend your money for you/ but it would be cool if your tire place could test fit them for you.....I haven't purchased my aftermarket wheels yet/ so I can only go by what I've seen posted all over the 370 Forum....Show pics of what you get

Thanks for the response... I think I will be leaning more towards 255/295...I plan on a lowering system sometime early next year so i don't want a mess involving hitting the finders etc

So for next years autocross season I'm thinking of buying another set of rear sport rays and running them on the front with a true square setup, nitto nt01 305/30r19 tires. I've run 295 Hoosiers with no rubbing on the front Rays - think the Nitto setup would work?? Has anyone run the rears on the front with a meaty tire?

I know I am a repeat "offender" on this thread, but I am really trying to hone in on the right wheel and tire combo. Every time I change wheels, I have to rethink the tires to go with them. Whatever wheels I put on the car will be on there for a looonnnng time, so I spend a lot of time mulling over the choices.

Thinking of going with
20x10.5 +35 with 295/25r20s in front
20x11.5 +20 with 325/25r20s in back

I am 100% sure the back will fit.

My concern is about the width up front (since the diameter is smaller than stock). Car will be on coilovers with all the associated arms/links to make it work. I am 99% sure the front is ok, especially after reading the previous posts but I like the forum gurus to chime in; it makes me feel better.

Anyone have a concern?

So I could prob get a little more aggressive with the offsets without problem; say +30?

Thanks for the replies guys.

OK, I had to go & crawl my fatass under my ~Z~ with will turned to lock left.
pending mine is a base model with +43 8" front wheels.
my wheel backspacing is 6.21" & when i measure 1" above the rim lip (imitating a 20" wheel) i easily have 1" of space...probably closer to 30mm.
Therefore/ upon my personal findings...i would be willing to say that you can go up to a +40 offset 10.5" wheel,,,that would be 7.333" backspacing & 4.167" front spacing.
Not sure what you have now...but tire maker will definitely play a huge role in this.
"Safe-Mode" would probably be between +32 & +38; you may have nailed it with +35?
curious to see your outcome,,,,would be cool to have some test fit wheels.
Be sure & show off what you decide.

Default Opinions needed

I bought a 2013 second hand z that already had aftermarket rims on it. The rims are ok, but my front tire looks bigger than the rear. How can I improve the look of this? Should I just ditch the wheels and start over?

Front: 20x8.5 offset 20. 245 35 20
Rear: 20x10 offset 25. 275 30 20 (rear tires are further under the car than the front, looks funny)

2nd- can I put 305 30 on the rear 10" rim?

Thanks
