the rear would look like, as you said, nismo wheel fit if you run minimum 285/35/19's.

Would that look unbalanced/odd?

Is that too far out up front? If it is not will I need to run a spacer in the back?

too far for me, but if you're lowered it could look okay i suppose. this is all subjective.

most of the time the car looks good from the side or diagnally from the side/rear... but from the dead front, the tire tread sticks out waaaay too much imo.

I posted in another thread but maybe this is a better place for my question. I am interested in going with a 20" staggered set up. I am dropped on Ark springs 1.5" F and 1.25" R with stock camber arms. I am curious what I can go with that will allow me to achieve the following: close to flush (but highly functional), as close to factory camber settings as possible, no rubbing, and a meaty tire setup. im thinking of around a 265/35/20 and a 295 or 305/30/20. Thanks for the info!

You are right, I do not like that loo either, but I am thinking the Amuse front, not being rounded at the bottom like stock front, might help out somewhat.

Does any one know if 19x10.5 +25 will fit the front of the Z? and if so what tire size do you recommend?

maximusz · 10-17-2013, 03:00 AM

Ok guys have some forgestar f14
19x9.5 +20
19x11 + 15

Going to be stock height for awhile but eventually lower

Going to run stock nismo tire sizes until I need new tires

Will it work?

Zwolf81 · 10-20-2013, 11:37 PM

I'm right there with maximusz. I swapped over my 350 wheels (19x10 +15 255/35 up front and 19x10 +15 285/35 out back) and I'm about to buy 19x11 +15 for my back two. I'm lowered on swifts and would like to know if this would work as well and a tire recommendation.

Zwolf81 · 10-30-2013, 11:41 PM

Anybody?

thongthumper · 03-01-2014, 02:59 PM

Will 20x10 -2 rear, 20x9 +38 front work? 285/25 zr 20 rear tires

Xplicit97 · 03-02-2014, 06:42 AM

So I have a Nismo with Ark springs all factory camber arms. Im curious what size / offset, wheels/tires I can fit with minimum neg camber and not stretching tires. Obviously I don't want to rub either.I'm Looking at 20" wheels. Thanks

I Have 19x9.5 +12 Front
19x10.5 +22 rear

Can i run stock tires safely, and without stretch? or do i need to bump them up if so what sizzes?

Awwthentic · 04-14-2014, 02:32 AM

Hey guys, I been researching sooo much on rim sizes haha. The look I want the most agressiveness but sit flush with the fender.

I'm on swift drop springs no camber kit YET.

I have 19x9.5 -2 and 19.10 -11.

These are laying around from my Infiniti build and was wondering if I added a 10mm to the front will it sit flush? They dont clear the BBK and I tried a 5/16 spacer but still hit caliper =/
So couldnt see if it stuck out past the fender with them on or not.

Here's the wheels

Camcam1616 · 05-30-2014, 07:29 PM

currently running

19x10.5-44
19x12-54

Xplicit97 · 06-10-2014, 02:33 AM

I'm curious I'm looking at Forgestar F10's. I would like to get a 20X10 F and a 20X11 or 20X12" R combination. What offsets will I need to get to be pretty close to flush, and clear BBK? I figure the 20X10 will need to be somewhere around the +30 range, but what would a 20X11 or 20X12 need to be? This will be going on a 2011 Nismo dropped on ark springs 1.5"R 1.75"F with stock camber arms. I don't want any crazy negative camber or stretched tires, preferably a meatier set up. I'm more about function than form. Thanks for the info
