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

OptionZero · 08-11-2019, 04:20 PM

For reference, the stock Nismo rear is 19x10.5 +23 w/ a 285/35 tire.

It is pretty sunk and looks terrible, and will get worse when you lower the car.

The 19x11 +22 is around 7mm better, which is not much better at all. You can go pretty much as low an offset as possible in the rear since there is massive space back there.

Track folks are running 11 or 10.5 inch rears with around +15 offset, so it is certainly functional

Fronts you CAN go much much better but that will require more effort, so a 19x9.5 +22 is safe and easy

When you want to step up your game, you'll be selling the whole set anyways

So I'm looking to pull the trigger on a set of Work T7R 2P. I've read through multiple threads and have a good idea on the spec I'm trying to run. It'll be my first set, so looking for opinions on if it would fit.

19x9.5 +20
19x11 +10
*A Disk (Deep Concave) on both F/R.

I'm sitting on swifts. No plans to go lower anytime soon, or camber arms.

From what I've been reading, seems like the rear is good. I have a base model, so no akebono calipers. I'm thinking the front should have clearance, but unsure.

What do you guys think?

What size tires and how much camber do you currently have?

For Tires, im looking at:

265/35/19
305/30/19

Don't know the camber angles. it's definitely more than stock since installing the springs, but i'd have to get it checked out for an actual number. Unless there's an easy way to check this at home.
