Acceptable Offsets?

Jjaden

I need to take some time and educate myself on wheel sizes and offsets etc because I have no idea what any of the numbers mean, in the meantime can someone tell me if the following would be aceptable offsets for a 370z?

What is ideal for our cars?

Fronts are 19x8.5 29mm offset
Rears are 19x9.5 34mm offset

Would this fit a 370z?

Thanks

those aren't really ideal.

the 19" rays have a 9 up front with a +47 offset and a 10" in the rear with a 30m

those offsets will have the FRONT wheel stick out an extra 12mm (which is a bit more aggressive than stock, but not significantly, and if you were to lower your car, the wheel would still look really tucked in). the REAR will look 10mm MORE tucked in, so right there you are gonna be really sunk in looking.

the ideal offsets people seem to be running are:
Front: 9.5 with a +22mm
Rear: 10.5 with a +12mm

if you want to maintain the same OUTER stance, ie how 'flush' or 'sunk' the wheel looks compared to the fender, these sizes/offsets will have the same outer stance

Front: 11.0" + 41mm
Front: 10.5" +35mm
Front: 10" +28mm
Front: 9.5" +22mm
Front: 9" +16mm
Front: 8.5" +9mm
Front: 8.0" +3mm

Rear: 12" +31mm
Rear: 11.5" +25mm
Rear: 11" +18mm
Rear: 10.5" +22mm
Rear: 10" + 6mm
Rear: 9.5" -1mm
Rear: 9.0" -7mm

Yes it would fit but it wouldn't be very aggressive for a 370z

This is a good explanation of offset:



With that being said I would suggest a setup of 19x9.5 +12 & 19x10.5 +12 for a more aggressive staggered setup.

Thanks, rep added for both of you, took care of all my questions...

Jeffblue

thanks, i'm glad we could help. what wheels are you looking at?

Jjaden

Actually saw a set of TE37's with those offsets for $1800 on a 350z forum.

Not settling for an offset that isn't ideal tho...

Keeping a close eye on all used TE37's. I like the TE37SL's but want black wheels, we'll see what happens.

Jeffblue

i'll keep an eye out for anything if i see someting i'll let you know how much are you looking to spend?

Jjaden

Depends on the condition of the wheels and whether they are already black or not. If they are not black I have to figure in an additional $250 for powdercoating.

Looking to spend 2500$ or less if used, having said that, may still go new TE37SL route and suck it up and powdercoat them.

Hmm... interesting. Those don't even look like width/offsets that would belong on a 350z. More like a G.

Waiz

I know the set you're referring to and would recommend that you pass.

They are too conservative for a 370z and were more intended to be used with the large AP brake setup that particular 350z was running.

Thanks, I figured something was up because 1800$ is a phenominal price but the wheels have been for sale since early October.
