What offset do I need?

Z33knight · 04-17-2010, 09:02 PM

Ok, just got a set of Axis Shine's off a guy with a 350Z.

20x9 +15 255/35/20
20x10+20 295/35/20

The rears seem to be hella flush. Perfect.

The FRONTS seem to stick out. About 10mm.

Now I am getting some Megan Coilovers this week to drop the car 1-1.3".

So....with all that siad

What do I need to get? Stay or order two new fronts at +25? + 35?

What do you guys think?

Some eye candy

Install your coilovers and see how much the front wheels tuck in. If it sticks out, then get new wheels. +25

Took some measurements today. No way this will look right. Even after a drop. Plus with how far they stick out toward the toe, I'm going to get some serious kick up along the bottom sides of my doors. No way I'm risking paint damage.

So I went ahead and ordered some +35's. They dont offer +25. Oh well. If it's off any I can just throw a 5mm spacer in there and they will be back to flush anyway. Can't fix too wide, but I can fix not flush. Found them shipped for $313 each.

All is well. Now I just have to sell these two spare 20x9 +15's to a 350Z owner and I'll pay myself back most of what I just dropped.

These wheels look stunning on this car with this color. Couldn't be happier.
