Would
265/30/20
305/25/20
fit on the 370z base with wheels
20x9.5 +25
20x10.5 +22
would this work out pretty good also what spacers do you think would be good to flush the wheels out

Thanks for your time.

I am just worried the tires might be too small.

Will probably run a 20mm spacer in the rear as well . . .

Will these fit nice and flush? And is this a safe fitment for these wheel sizes?(don't want to "stretch" tires or anything crazy like that)

Also, looking to drop it 1.5" all around

Thanks in advance for your help!
Could anyone please answer the above fitment question please?

Looking to get some track wheels (square setup) after the holiday. Thinking of RPF01's in 18x10 +38, I know that is kind of a high offset and wanted to make sure it should clear. I'd rather not run spacers. Obviously tire choice will also matter, but these should clear the strut/calipers.

Thanks!

your rears will be super sunk in and a bit on the front. 10mm on front and a 25 or 30 in the rear will flush it up. but you will for sure need on the rears or it will look really weird/bad.

That's what I figured. Not really concerned about looks but I don't want a sunken battleship. RPF1s are just so sweet for the price and are only offered in those offsets.

Maybe I'd be better going x10.5 +15. Anyone know if these clear the Akebonos?

If you're going square, they will clear the Akebono's but you are gonna have to run some extreme camber or roll your front fenders to make them fit. We had a guy that ran that square set up in texas and he rolled the front a LOT just to make it fit. You're better off running the spacers on the rear and being done with it.

So what you're saying is with the 18x10 I wouldnt need to roll the fenders (depending on tire). And to just run spacers in the rear. Makes sense. I've rolled fenders before but dont want to do it on my Z.

bingo. even a 275 sqaure set up you wouldnt need to roll with a +38 offset

wrong tire sizes. with that offsets you can run a 275 30 20 front

rear you can run a 325 or 335 25 20

do not run a 30 profile up front unless you drop to a 245 or 255 which would be too little for a 20x10.

actually you could run these tires which are great tires.

Tire Search Results

the rear would use a spacer and look a bit bulgy.

To be honest, I dont like a 20x11 wheel. The ideal size for that is a 305/25/20 or 305/30/20. Both arent exactly correct for a Z. the 25 profile is too skinny the 30 profile is too tall.

IF they are custom wheels your getting, go for a 20x12 wheel in the rear.

if you get to pick the offsets and you want to run the tires mentioned above without rubbing or modification you will probably have to go:
20x10 + ~35
20x12 + ~24

So...on my 350 I had Volk GT-S that were 19x9.5 +18 F and 19x10.5 +17 R with 245/275-35's and I really liked the set up. It seems like our 370's have much more room. So with that said, I'm looking at doing a 20x11/20x12 set up on my current car. I don't want to have to use spacers, so what offset would you guys recommend. I want them as flush as possible with little to no "poke". Oh, and it will be pretty low on KW V3's.

again if you look above at my pictures.

thats 20x10 + 27
20x12 +20
with 275/30/20 front and 325/25/20 rear.

That said, the wheels are now on a diff car, and hes lowered a bit and they sit perfect.

that also being said, the manufacturer doesnt make those sizes anymore. best match is michelins 285/30/20 and 325/25/20

to run those. I'd recommend a 20x10 + 35 front and 20x12 + 23 rear.

At oem suspension these should poke a bit. lowered they should sit right. I'd still recommend camber arms just to tweak em perfectly.

Running a 11 front wheel wouldnt benifit you much as you'd have to run a less wide tire.

P.S im estimating the offsets a bit due to the fact that I believe the Mich's are a tad bit wider than the DW's i ran. How much wider i dont know. Thus you may need the camber arms to tweak it.

We have more room on the rear but less room up front. Atleast offset wise. You will have to go with like a +35 offset on the front to even get close to fitting. +25 on the rear and you should be fine but don't quote me on that. Only a few people are running that wide.

Thanks for the input guys. I saw the pic of W.O.W. 370z's car a few days ago and LOVE that look. But i don't think i'd ever want to go 20x11/20x13, I still want some functionality. And i'm not stuck on the sizes I listed earlier but I definitely want to go a little wider than what was on my 350.
