The "Will it fit?" thread

trwe413 · 07-13-2011, 01:57 PM

I bought a set of Enkei 18x10.5 w/15 offset and I think I may have screwed up. My plan was to run a sqaure set up with 285 or 305. I have only tracked the car once with the standard setup (Nismo 19") and experienced some understeer that I was hoping to correct.

The rear is fine, but the front sticks out about 1" past the fender.

My first thought was to keep two for the rear and buy two new RFP1s in 18x9.5 with 38 or 45 offset and go back to a staggered setup but I am told that they won't work because of a spoke clearance issue with the brakes on the.

Does anyone here have any experience with the 18" RPF1s on a 370Z? I am looking for a solution other than selling these and going with a different wheel altogether but that looks like where I am heading.

Wow that's wide on the front. Have you tried to camber it in some?

I forgot to mention that I have the Seibon CF fenders that are 10mm wider, but even with that the 10.5's still stuck out so much that I figured no amount of camber adjustment would get them back in the fender well.

I wish I could just replace the fronts with 9.5's and 285 but I'm told there is a spoke clearance issue with the RPF1 9.5 on the front of the Z.

One more question to add to this post...

19x9.5 et15
19x12 et0

What kind of tires would I need?
I'll be instaling swift springs or some sort of lowering springs at the same time.

(might even consider coilovers if that's necessary)

Thanks!

Had to change my order from the continental DW super sports due to continental delaying all production for no reason and backordering my tires to 2012 from tire rack. So anyway, ordered 265 35 19f 305 30 19r. Of the potenza pole positions. I'm still running my stock rims on my nismo, Will it fit? Please explain offset, and do I need spacers.

Yes it will fit no problem... Also spacers are not needed unless you want it to look more flush
