Aww, after all that hard work testing fitments on this brand new car, I'm not gonna just spill the beans for all the other wheel manufacturers to see
If you want the specs, PM me or contact one of the SSR Dealers
All i can say publicly, is that the fronts are 20x9.5 and the rears are 20x11.
we obviously want to give our customers the best support. On the other hand, we don't want our competitors to take our research and use it for themselves.

If anyone wants to order the wheels that are on the car, all they have to do is find one of our dealers and say, "Hey please give me the same fitment as on the red Z," and we'll be glad to supply them with those wheels.

This was a quote from the 350z site, looks like we are going to have to wait years before other manufacturers can figure out these secret wheel fitments.

I totally understand about trade secrets, but this is just silly. I spent 2 hours photoshopping colors for other form members b/c I thought it would be helpful for them to see these SSR wheels on their car color, but if it's this hard to get the specs. When I mounted my spacers on the stock sport wheels, I didn't make people guess the size, I posted pics and specs up the same night, that's what this form is all about. The ridiculous thing is there saying to call the dealer for specs, but once someone calls the dealer to get the offsets, don't you think they will post them up here

Why put people through the trouble?
Well, my interest in purchasing this wheel has just went down to zero. Thanks SSR

Did you even try calling VIP Status to find the offsets on that car?

Wheel manufacturer's not giving out offsets blatantly is not a first.

Well, usually when I'm on this form its very late, like now 12:45am so I wouldn't be able to call them to find out their fitments. I rely on this form to provide accurate information that will help me make future purchase decisions. I don't have a lot of time during the day to research stuff when I'm working. I guess my point is that the whole purpose of this form is to make information available to other members, if your going to go through the trouble to post up a thread with pictures but not the info, and then say, well I have the info, but you just have to call the dealer to get it, doesn't make sense.
When they give out the info to the form member, don't they think it will get posted up here anyway, it's not like they are going to make you sign a confidentiality agreement.
