Nissan 370Z Forum  

Finally found the right wheels.

Even with a drop this isn't my idea of flush. If I drop this I'm going to have to roll and pull my fenders and I'd have some serious debris

Even with a drop this isn't my idea of flush. If I drop this I'm going to have to roll and pull my fenders and I'd have some serious debris kickup from the bottom edge onto my door panels.

When I look at my car from the front....it's just doesn't look right at all. And yeah the front tapers in, but this just sticks out too far for my eye.

Just my $.02. So I ordered +35's and will add a 5-10mm spacer if needed. +27-28 would look to be flawless by my eyeball.

I'd go for 20x9+25
i see alot of +22 front and rear is that too much?

People are running what, +28-+25 with a 9.5 up front, if you want a 9, +22 seems like the right fitment for the front.
