trying to decide on wheel sizes
just got my 370z about two weeks ago and im looking at , some "petrol vengeance" wheels , i was looking at getting 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the rear , do u guys think it will have an aggressive enough look , with the 370's wide rear flare out ? i dont want them too look to sunken in . or should i just start looking for 20's that come wider than 10 inches ? and if so can u guys throw out some suggestions of brands ?

The main factor for fitment are the offsets. Can you list the offsets that you are considering?
8.5 front is a little weak, the stock RAYS wheels with the sport package are 9 inch wide in the front...I would suggest going with that width in front if you can. |

so what would be a good offset, i want the wheel as close to flush with the rear and front bumpers as possible , if i get 10.5 in the rear and 8.5 in the front (the rims i want only go 20 x 10.5 and 8.5 ) so i gotta get 8.5's in the front

offset, please explain
this will explain offsets...if you do a search a couple people have posted calculators to give you a tool to calculate what offsets you want with what width wheels. Once the wheel width changes, the optimum offset changes as well. |

and stock offsets on the sport package are:
front +47 rear +30 for reference, I ordered forgestars in the following sizes: 19x9 +24 offset front 19x10 +20 offset rear this will bring the wheels out to be a little more flush with the fenders |

front with 9.5 would need +18 mm if you want to match the 19x9 +24..+20 would probably be pretty safe Last edited by Caravanshaka; 06-12-2009 at 10:59 PM. |

wait a second, let me try again
for same outer postion 8.5 fronts would need +18 and inner clearance would be 12mm more....no lip probably 9.5 fronts would need +30 and inner clearence would drop 12mm 10.5 rears would need +26 |
