Put a flat piece of cardboard or plastic on the face of the wheel. Make sure the piece reaches under the fender. They use a ruler to measure the space between the cardboard and the fender edge. That is the spacer required to make the wheel flush.

Get a ruler and a plumb bob. Use the plumb bob at the point where you want the tire to be and then measure it with a ruler. That's what I did. Or you can eyeball it with the ruler

It measures close to half an inch. I'm going to go with 20mm.

Went with 20mm bolt on style spacer.

Anyone know how many foot pounds of torque for the lug nuts?

Aftermarket wheels with NO drop
 

Got the spacers installed. Did rear only for now. Like the quality of the spacers. Now thinking about the front.

Here's before

Anyone with 19s with a bigger lip on them at stock height? For some reason a lot of the photos aren’t available anymore.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How wide of rim, and tire size?

No big lips on outside for me; as I have 7” backspace on front & 8” rear’s...Front spacing is 4” Front & 5” Rear.

I plan on lowering mine, and I hate the monster truck look, so far the z34 isn’t to bad for it. So just trying to decide coils or wheels first. I know I want something with at least a 3” lip. So just want to see if anyone’s got anything similar

I'm looking to get some cr2p wheels. 19x9.5 in the front, and 19x10.5 in the rear with stock ride height. Any ideas on what the offset should be? I'm not trying to have massive wheel gap I just want it to look flush with the fender.

+23 or so in the rear
+30 in the front.


Use this to visualize where the rims will be.

1. Place a strait edge across the front of your stock rims, and measure from straight edge to the fender to find out how much you need to move out.

2. Input your stock rims and tires into the calculator. Print off both front and rear for reference.

3. Input your desired set up and change the offset until the rim is sticking out as far as your earlier measurement.



Don't be surprised that you can not find a rim with the exact offset you need. But a few mm off will not be noticeable.

IMO, it's not about aftermarket wheels but not using rubber bands for tires.

Thanks for the input.

Gap Man! NA NA NA NA GAP MAN!

All jokes aside you do what you want to do! If you don't want coils or lowering springs, then screw anyone who says otherwise. I remember when I was told to put spacers on my car to fill the wheel gap out. I just lol'd for two reasons - 1) No replacement for tire displacement and 2) Structural integrity. Bonus - most people who told me to do "this or that" drove nothing or their parents cars and putting two step systems on them. "LuK aT mY tWo sTep bRoOoO"

If you don't wanna do stuff to your car, cool

But don't be ignorant

There are people who track their cars who run aggressive wheel specs with functional rubber. In fact, the common setup is 18x10.5 +18ish with 275 or 285 square

Your stock height setup is just that. A stock height setup. Let's not pretend to be hip and special

Depends on the tires. If I want to move my rim 20mm (for example) outward
The calculator shows 19x10.5 ET15 with tires 285/35
in case wider tire 305/30 offset needs to be +25
Correct me if I am wrong. :driving:

Yes of course, if the tire is wider, you do not need as low of an offset.

Also different tire manufacturers have a different side wall profiles. PSS have a flat side wall profile which does not stick out much. The same size tire in a different make, might stick out more due to a different side wall profile. The calculator does not take this into an account.

Thank you cooltoy.
Can you, please, share your current setup wheels and tires.
I hope you still on stock height.

20x9 +32 Front
20x10.5 +25 Rear

I haven't changed anything yet. Probably go wider in the rear next set.

Thank you sir :tiphat:

Looks like a monster truck but it’ll do for now until my finances are back to normal

cool thread guys and good timing as Im in the market. After reading thru Im settling on F+30/R+15 with stock height. Can anyone comment on full suspension compression and clearance?

Love the concave wheels, couple of inches of drop and :yum::yum:
