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?

offset for front would be around +31(+ or - 1,2)
offset for rear would be +19(+ or - 1,2)
these will sit close to flush/ seller should know & would be great to test fit some.

What Brand Tire? & do you want stock diameter or close to it?

Haven't researched that far yet. My came with Michelin pilot ss and they seem to stick really well when they are new. Not so sticky now though. Any suggestions. It's my daily. Might see a track day once a year but not much until I make more money. I do some dig racing with some local guys.

[jchammond]

Not Quite sure what Dig racing is (maybe drag racing?) but some people on the forum swear by the bridgestone re11's, it's just gonna be hard to find a daily driver tire in the 18"wheel diameter to fully fit those 11' wheels.
Also; if it is drag racing/ that wide of a front wheel & tire will slow you down.
Look over that PM i sent you & it will give you some additional ideas.
Mine is not a daily driver/but i know all about the finance issues...lol

What wheels & tires are on your Z now?

Dig drag same thing. I was thinking that might be too wide. Prob go 9f/10r to save on tire prices. Stock wheels and Mich pilot ss

Wondering if 245/30 will fit the fronts and 285/30 the rears? idk if 285/35 would be better for the rears.... Gonna have to camber and pull as well. Going for the thin tire look but also want to avoid as much stretching as possible

[AntiVenom]

alright guys...

i just pulled the trigger on a set of forgestar f14s in
20x9.5 +20 and 20x11 +15 with PSP in 265/35 and 305/30.

i´ve done a ton of research and you guys have helped me through a bunch of questions. so i feel relatively confident this will fit.

the plan is to run 2-2.5* camber front and 1.5-2* rear.

so final question. should i have gone more conservative on the offsets? particularly in the front?

I had exact same set up, but on 19"s and 255 in front. I ran 1.5 in front and 2 in the rear to give kind of an idea. I'll try and find my alignment print out for you!

much appreciated. my primary concern is the added diameter from going 20"

it´s a 27.3" diameter on the 20" wheel vs 26.3" on the 19"

i´d still love to see your alignment specs.

You should be ok with that much negative camber on a 27" wheel...it will lean in roughly 10mm per degree negative from 0 & same going positive.
my base 11' is stock & has -1.0,,,treadwear even across; but i don't track it.
So i couldn't use the +20 9.5's,,,would be closer to +30 for me.
Plan to run -1.0 in rear w/325's on 11",,,so that's gonna be close to +25 or a tad more.

thanks man. you are always johny on the spot with responses.

i am going to go ahead and back off to +25. it makes me feel better and like i will have more flex the cambers i can run.

i was doing some trig and crunching numbers on a 27" tire face. i got about 12mm per degree of camber.

worse comes to worse i can always throw a 3 or 5mm spacer on there.

you think it´s a mistake to back off to +25?

[jchammond]

Look up "Rusty's " ride; i know he's on the [official] 370z fitment guide....he's running 275/35/19's on 9.5+25's & has -2 camber... Looks like he could run less if he wanted.
If you go over aggressive; you could be screwed - spacers are always an option.

Yeah, I could run less if I only streeted (-1) and still look good. I'm at -2 for track now.

[AntiVenom]

i am gonna back off to the +25. i talked to jason at getyourwheels and he agrees it´s a safer bet.

thanks again. next post will be photos of the wheels on the car. no more questions!

Getting new rubber soon . This is my daily driver would 265/35 F 285/35 R mess with the handling and turning at all. Been looking around a lot of people say to make the front a little bigger than the front. Thanks for the help.

Pending on the brand; you seem to be just under the 3% maximum diameter difference.
(That's the percentage difference I was once told/ that wouldn't screw with abs/traction control) other knowledgeable members will chime in on this one.
I've just always heard 3% max.
