The "Will it fit?" thread

[ecanela2507]

OK here's another one

19x9.5 front for offset they offer +15,25,38,45
19x10.5 rear for offset they only offer +20

stock tires and lowered on swift springs
will i need spacers to mount flush and which offset should i go with on the front

[aszyd]

+25 front and +20 with 10mm spacers rear.

I'm thinking about getting some wheels but idk anything about offsets lol...this are the sizes 19x9.0 +25 and 19x10 +25....I'm on stock height but plan to drop down on swifts or coilovers but with similar drop as swifts. Are those good offsets or will I need spacers for either setup? Also, you guys think I can go with NISMO size tires or regular sports size tires?

Thanks

You will need spacers in the back. If you have the sport package, +25 in the front is good, but the rears you will require some spacers (15mm probably). It also depends on the tire sizes you want to run.

Thanks! I did forget to mention I have the sports package ....I'm thinking either 245/275 or 245/285 do u think I can run wider tired? And no spacer?

A local here is running 305s

[6MT-Z34]

Damn that is wide lol

[clkio]

I am running 275 in the front and 305 in the back, no issues. With smaller tire sizes, you can run very low offsets in the back

Those are some meaty tires

Correct me if I'm wrong but I just want to make sure I understandhow this works correctly... If run OEm size tires I won't need spacers? Or is it the other way around?

That depends on the combination of tire size, wheel width, offset and your appearance goals. I can say for certain that 19x10.5 +22 w/ 305x30 has no fitment issues in the rear. I say that spacers are needed because there is a gap between the tire and fender, not that the wheels won't fit.

You can manage your offsets in aftermarket wheels and reduce or eliminate spacers to get flush If you go wider (say 10.5 rears) that 12.5mm of addition width over oem sport rays so that will change your effective offset accordingly


ps - still looking for help from someone on how much front to rear height differential that the ABS and VDC can take when staggering heights

I picked up some Michelin Pilot Super Sports
265/35/19 front
305/30/19 rear

not on car yet-thinking no spacers right now
coilovers to go on someday
I usually drive with VDC off

Oh I see what u mean now about the fitment and space. They're basically two different things lol ... So if I could get the rears with 19x10 +35 I won't need to run a spacer correct?

If you run stock tire sizes, you will need spacers (you never need spacers, just looks nice). As I mentioned, with stock tire sizes in the back, you can go as +5 to flush with the fender. and in the front you can go as low as +28 (safe to clear sports brakes) .

Posted this in the wheel spacer 101 thread, but this thread appears to be more active, so this might help some of you. As Clkio mentioned above though, this is simply for wheel poke, you need to consider clearing your calipers.

Hey guys, had some time to kill at work, so I made this that should help answer general questions.

Green cells indicate stock wheel poke.
Blue cells indicate flush at stock height.
Yellow cells indicate wheel poke for lowered Z's. Approximately flush at -2 camber rear and -1 camber front is at the highest yellow cell for each given wheel width.
Red cells indicate wheel poke PAST the fender ON A LOWERED Z, I would not recommend any of these sizes. (unless you're going for stance and such, but you should be doing your own calculations for that).

How to figure out what size spacer you need to be flush? If you are lowered, look for yellow cells, stock height look for blue cells.

Lets use the stock wheel sizes and suspension. 10 wide et30 for the rear. Find in the chart and you see 97mm of wheel poke. Look for the blue cell in the 10 width. You see is at et5 This means you can fit a 25mm spacer on the stock wheel to reach flush. Do the same for the front, 9 wide et47. To reach flush (et 25) you can use 22mm of spacers.

Wow super informative chart - subbed for future resource! How did you test to figure this all out?
