alright, one more for you guys. after a lot of back and forth i´d decided to go 20x12 in the rear, however, after coming to that conclusion I decided to switch my suspension setup for a true-type coilover.
i know after reading Rusty´s comments as well as discussing it a bit with him that this will limit the width of tire I can go with. So long dreams of 345s in the back ![]() at any rate, i suppose my question is, should i not only give up the idea of runing 345s but also that of running 12s. Is anyone running 12s in the rear with true type? should i go down to 11s and stick with a 305 in the rear? i think this is the safe bet, but that´s no fun, hahaha. i don´t want extreme camber or too much poke, so that´s what makes the problem more interesting. as always thanks for the help and comments. |

You could still run 12's with 325's. Think you would have room with a true coilover.

Not sure about coil over clearance/ but measuring my base : with 18" wheels & -1.75 camber....looks like my pinch point is gonna be the traction/ trailing arms(closer on rt.) 3" backspace everywhere else...snug at filler cap.
I like them 345's on 12's, but my plans were to stand the tires more upright & that gap at traction arm will get closer??? Won't know until I put on SPL camber arms & set it up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

yea, i guess i could wait til i have the suspension together and measure everything to see how much room i am playing with. i am just impatient and want to buy my wheels and tires. i guess i´ve waited this long, i can wait a few more weeks.

The fronts are doable, but might cause you some rubbing. Look up carlitos_370z. I know he was running that size offset wheel on the front and it worked pretty well for him. not sure what camber he was running though.

The problem I see with your combination is the front isn't a run flat, and the rear is. That's the only way they come in those sizes from looking at the tirerack charts. Also the tires are asymmetric/directional.

The directional doesn't bother me, I've never cats for run flats I'm just worried about the fronts fitting to be honest. I'll probably run the g2 on the rear and the extra kumho xs I have up front

Ok guys so I am a complete noob when it comes to wheels, I know the basics about sizes and offsets and what not but I am wondering if these will fit my Z. I have a 2014 base 370z.
Front: 18x8.5 5x114.3 offset 25 OR 35 (Don't know which is better) Rear: 18x8.5 5x114.3 offset 35 or 18x10 5x114.3 offset 25 Forgot to add these will go on my OEM base tires! |

Ok so I want 18 and I believe I want 11s in the back and 10s in front. I would like to do semi concave/f deep concave/r or deep concave/f and super deep/r
I would like to keep stock camber and probably going to stay stock height, I might possibly drop 1 in in the future but no more. What offset would I need and what would be the best tire size? |
