Wheel Offset Discussion Thread... How far can we go?

shadow85 · 10-06-2016, 01:32 AM

Wow, are you saying on the Vertini RF1.2 product page they are showing pics of different model wheels??

And no I am not lowered at all yet. Completely stock 2015 Z atm.

I was deciding between these wheels and the Rohana RF1, possibly RF2. Which ever of the wheels will be lighter or give the best performance.

My bad, I was confused by the pictures in this thread. Same car, different wheels.

Vertini dark knights

But I am pretty sure it is the same car. He was probably sponsored by Vertini or something. Maybe PM him and ask what the specs were on the RF's that he used in the photoshoot. My guess they would be similar to the ones he has on the DK's.

Any feedback would be appreciated, looking to buy a wheel and tire package for the z next year, trying to get a nice flush look maybe very slightly aggressive, im looking at 19x9.5 +22 for the front and 19x10.5 +22 for the rear, im running a 20mm spacer in the rear to sit flush now so im assuming that will make it +2 in the rear which i think would be flush? im not sure. im running 18x8 +20 for the front and 18x9 +15 on the rear right now with the 20mm spacer, im also on eibach springs so im dropped about an inch, thanks in advance for any input

OptionZero · 11-02-2016, 04:27 PM

rears are way more aggressive than the fronts

throw your spacers away

buy some used te37's in the sizes that everybody runs that doesn't want to do any work
19x9.5 +22 front, 19x10.5 +12 rear

Da370z · 11-04-2016, 09:29 AM

Nice! thanks for the feedback. and yes thats my goal is to get rid of the spacers completely, what size tires would you recommend? i was thinking 265/40 fronts and 295/35 in the rears

OptionZero · 11-04-2016, 01:57 PM

stock tire height is around 26.7 and 26.9 inches, so use a tire height calculator and get in that ballpark depending on whether you want 19 or 20's

Da370z · 11-07-2016, 01:06 PM

will do, thanks for the help!

OptionZero · 01-14-2017, 11:58 PM

We've come a long way since this thread started and folks thought 9.5 and 10.5 inches F/R were aggressive

Let's push the boundaries!

20x11 +15 front
20x12 +20 rear

Way ahead of ya. 285/35/19 on 19x10 front and 325/30/19 on 19x11.5 rear. I have a while to wait though. Early Christmas present to myself. Not as aggressive as yours but they should be just right.

I really want 19x11 FRONT 19x12 REAR with no tire stretch. I see your tires have a little stretch so I am curious will 11 and 12 fit without tire stretch? Stock height.

the next evolution . . . (kidding)

It is funny how 9.5/10.5 was aggressive and now it's just a regular nismo set up; folks using the nismo rears all around on the track no problem

NorthStyle · 01-13-2018, 07:45 PM

At stock height and with stock suspension settings Option Zero's setup wouldn't look anything like how it does now... Can you run them and add larger tires to square up the sidewalls? Yes. Would it look good? Most likely not.

Additionally, you'd need to have a 295 or wider tire (depending on brand) to not have any stretch on an 11, and a 315 or wider (again, depending on brand) for the 12.

OptionZero · 01-13-2018, 11:01 PM

stock height you'll be poking like mad
i'm at -3 F and -2 R camber.

No sense going up to 19x11 and 19x12 if you're gonna stay on stock suspension. Grab some SPL arms and coilovers and do it right

As for stretching

My 20x12 +20 rear with 315/25/20 has room to spare. Either a 5mm spacer or going up to a 325/25/20 is quite doable. The fenders are rolled and not pulled out at all, if needed, there is much further we could go

and OF COURSE, after I get my wheels, Rays releases some "bulletproof automotive exclusive" 20x12 +13 sizing for the GTR, which woulda been sick for my rears. Of course. ******* ****.

If you want less stretching, should do 20x10.5 +24 and 20x12 +20, 285/30 and 325/25. Basically the standard sizing for the GTR, you'll have face-4 concavity, much more rubber than stock, and it'll look badass

KamiSpeed · 01-14-2018, 10:52 AM

Listen to Option.

Those spec can fit at stock height, if you really want. But it will not look good at all. Will give you the "mexi-flush" fitment that a lot of people talk about online. Go with either 9.5 / 10.0 or 10.5 MAX in the front if you dont plan on lowering it.

A lot of Z guys to be safe run 19x9.5 Front 15-20ish offset / 19x10.5 - x11.0 rear with 15-20ish offset. Which looks great at stock height and with large tires lowered on springs or coilovers.
