Need quick wheel it fit advice on new wheels/tires. buying asap
 
i know i know search, however i did search the will it fit thread, but want some reassurance.

will this work:

19x9.5 +20 Front
19x11 +18 Rear

however i have 15mm spacers in the front and 20mm spacers in the rear.

so the offsets would be

19x9.5 + 5
19x11 - 2

tire sizes would be 275 in the front and 305 in the rear.

can i go this aggressive without rubbing. I am not dropped either. Will the tires stick out past the fender? im new at wheels sorry guys

thanks in advance. much appreciated

You'll need major negative camber :p

wheels + tires :tiphat:

Flushnismo 06-19-2011 05:53 PM

Maybe just 5mm spacers up front. so your offset would be +15 and that's a little past the fender but looks good and aggressive . For the rear 10mm or 15mm spacers would look good. Really depends on what camber specs you want because you'll be cutting it close. I really suggest getting lowering springs or a camber kit or you'll F up your fenders. You can get some good springs for around 250 bucks.. It's going to look awkward with the wheels sticking out and it being stock ride height :rolleyes:

Econ 06-19-2011 05:58 PM

ok, i have the extended studs for the spacers, so hopefully this wont be an issue if i go from 15 to 5 or 20 to 10mm.

i dont think the 5 or 10mm require extended studs....

5mm you're cutting it close. 10mm needs extended studs. :ugh2:

daisuke149 06-19-2011 06:06 PM

yeah up front would = bad. i'd personally say no spacer or at most 5mm and you better have lowered your car.

rear maybe no more than 10mm spacer

bullitt5897 06-19-2011 10:01 PM

Front will require at or above -2.5 degree of camber with +5 offset which means you will need spc upper control arms. The rear is fine but will require about -2.5~-3 degree camber which isn't too bad. You will need to have a drop for sure! Are you thinking of buying the AME wheels that are for sale? If so great choice ;) pm me if you have any more questions and I will help you with your setup :tup:

Ron 06-19-2011 10:41 PM

No spacers up front and 10mm on the back. You'll be perfect as long as you don't paint them yellow LOL

I have 20mm spacers on all four wheels. My fronts are now exactly the same size you are going to get, 19x9.5 +20. And my rears are 19x10.5 +3. With a 10mm spacer you'll be at +8 but your wheels are .5" wider than mine. You'll be flush front and back and should be able to pull it off with no rub even with no drop and on stock camber settings.

chuckd05 06-20-2011 03:44 AM

my 19x9.5 +17 up front are about as aggressive as I would ever go on the front...

For those rim sizes and offsets you will NOT need a spacer on the front, that offset is perfect... the rear you may need a 5-10mm spacer, to match the front and/or make it a touch more aggressive......

I have a 19x9.5+17 on front and its flush.... rear is 19x10.5+18 and I have a 10mm H&R and a 2.5mm spacer on there from z1 making it 19x10.5+5.5 and its about as flush as I could ask for.. so you having 11" wheels I think just the 10mm may be perfect.. possibly a smidge too much but thats all your preference but I am sure it will be fine...

do you have the stock lugs? It is not hard to swap them at all if necessary, just follow the DIY... because you def wont need or want a spacer up front... and you might as well put the stock lugs in... and if you choose to keep the longer studs in, do you have open ended lug nuts ?


I also would drop the car as any wheel looks much better with a good drop... what wheels are you thinking of getting?




(Also, I would use extended studs on any spacer 5mm or larger... you possibly could get away with a 5mm with stock lugs but I wouldnt... you would def need extended studs for a 10mm spacer)

Econ 06-20-2011 07:55 AM

basically i'm looking at the avant garde m310 and tsw nurburgring rf

i just paid about $150 for the spacers plus an additional $280 to have them installed, so i dont really want to throw that money away by removing them.

the TSW's come in slightly less aggressive offsets, which would make my 15/20 spacers fit perfect. (offsets of tsw's would be +41, +27), however i dont know if 305's would be too much for 10.5" wheels

cant really decide what i want to do here. i am buying today, so i need to decide asap

Ron 06-20-2011 08:20 AM

305s on a 10.5 with a +7 or +8 will be good, maybe a liiiiiitle camber will be needed to avoid rubbing.

Econ 06-20-2011 08:35 AM

maybe i can just remove the spacers and do open ended lugs?

or

i can get the +41 +27 tsw's and either run

15mm front and 20mm rear netting me:
+26 (f)
+7 (r)

20mm front and 15mm rear netting me:

+21 (f)
+12 (r)

Ron 06-20-2011 09:02 AM

what tire size on the front?

Econ 06-20-2011 09:11 AM

19x9.5 w/ 275/35
19x10.5 w/ 305/30


i have 15mm and 20mm spacers

Ron 06-20-2011 09:24 AM

19x10.5 +27 with the 15mm on 305/30s on rear will fit for sure. They will even clear with the 20mm spacer.

I don't know about 275s up front...I know 265s on 19x9.5 +25 will sit flush soooo..

OK, so 275's +26 should be ok. worst comes to worst ill trade someone 1 15mm spacer with a 10mm spacer.

thanks for all the help guys.

daisuke149 06-20-2011 10:13 AM

im running 275 up front continental dw (among the wider of the tires compared to some) and have an offeset of +27. I am not lowered and also atm my camber isnt dialed in (less than 1). There is no rubbing and the top of the wheel is pretty flush with the fender. When i put in a bit of more camber it should look about perfect and in fact im considering a 285 or 295 tire next.

Econ 06-20-2011 12:29 PM

ok guys, just wanted to thank you all for the help. i ordered wheels.

i ended up going with the Advant Garde 310's in matte black.

19x9.5 +20 Front 275/35
19x11 +18 Rear 305/30

i will be removing the spacers completley however will keep the studs, and use extended open ended lugs.

This way if i get new wheels in the future, the studs are there for my use

Ron 06-20-2011 01:00 PM

Good luck with the fronts! Back wheels will still take a 10mm spacer I bet.

Econ 06-20-2011 01:21 PM

why good luck?

+20 should give me plenty of clearance, correct?

Ron 06-20-2011 01:27 PM

Well idk LOL. I am at +20 with 245s and its just a hair inside the fender. Daisuke is running 275s on a +26 and its flush... So I guess +20 on 275s will poke a little. Are you planning on lowering the car?

chuckd05 06-20-2011 01:32 PM

you will be fine up front with +20 ...... i have + 17 and its fine, I can meet up with you to show you the fitment If you would like. I just cant get all the way out to your meet on wednesday night...

305 on 10.5 wheel fits perfect too

mines flush also cus my camber is not dialed in at all. less than 1. i would guess its around a .7 atm. so if you dial that in to a 1.2-1.6 it should sit inside the fender a tad.

Econ 06-20-2011 01:36 PM

well ron you scared me so i changed the order from 275's to 255's.

better? :tup:

final sizes witll be

19x9.5 +20 255/35
19x11 +18 305/30

now just gotta find someone that wants to trade a 5mm spacer for a 15 or 20mm so i can space the rears an extra 5mm

yep but you are at +26

Econ 06-20-2011 01:43 PM

well regardless, my sizes are pretty much set at this point

19x9.5 +20 255/35
19x11 +18 305/30

daisuke149 06-20-2011 01:56 PM

u should go to 265

also are you lowered??

not lowered, and i wanted the extra sidewall offered with the 255 sizing.

265 only comes in 265/30 vs the 255/35


i will lower the car for next summer. not enough cash to do it now.

daisuke149 06-20-2011 02:11 PM

dang what tire. Maybe stick with your 275 then :p

Econ 06-20-2011 02:19 PM

hankooks. Cost was my main priority. i saved $50 switching from 275 to 255, and the hankooks are cheap to begin with...

i just bought wheels about a month ago and they bent, so i cant sink any more money into wheels....i could have bought a supercharger instead...

Ron 06-20-2011 02:21 PM

Those are the exact same size as Chuck... sidewall on front tires looks a bit taller than the rears.. check it out:

http://www.the370z.com/wheels-tires/...questions.html

Econ 06-20-2011 02:29 PM

yea id prefer slightly taller sidewalls in the front seeing as i could use the extra protection for peice of mind.

other than that, i think this set up will work out well. I will be recieving extended open lugs with the order and ill remove the spacers. (might put a 5 or 10mm in the rear)

thanks again

Ron 06-20-2011 02:31 PM

Then your golden my friend! 10mm on the back will be perfect. Congrats on the new set of wheels! :D

This is a great tool I ran across when looking for wheels on my 300ZX

Tire size calculator

and this one too:

ive probably clocked about 10 hours on that website hah

I orignally had a 255/40 in those pics, I have since chaned it to a 255/35/19 in the front from the 255/40/19 ....

so this pic is 19x9.5 +17 , with a 255/35/19 , you will have your fronts 3 more mm in... which will be PERFECT imo, the rears are 19x10.5+18 with 12.5mm of spacer so 19x10.5+5.5

this pic is 255/35

http://www.the370z.com/members/chuck...k-housings.jpg

this pic is 255/40
