Varrstoen es 2.2.2.
Alright so I've been looking around at the volk TE37 and varrstoen's version- the ES2's. I've looked at the "will it fit thread" and the "meatty thread" but I still can't figure out exactly what wheels to choose. I want to have the widest possible tire in the rear without rolling or cutting fenders. Can I go wider than the usual (F)19x9.5+22 265/35/19 (R)19x10.5+12 305/30/19?
I'm thinking (R)19x11+15 315/30/19... Reason for changing my wheels : 1: I'm planning on going forced induction so I would like to have more grip. 2: I desperately want to change the wheels that my car has right now. They are Ruff Racing wheels that were on the car when I purchased it and the only good thing about them is that I got the dealership to drop on the price because of them |

The 370z has much more room than the old 350z. If you read the will it fit and how far can we go threads I have posted several times the ranges in size and offset that most people get and also what aggressive fitments with out fender modifications.
In the rear you can run the 11+0 or the 11+15 with no problems.

I'm just giving you an idea of what is possible. I got plenty of clearance.

I was running a 19"x11"+4 in the rear with a 305/30/19 and I never rubbed. I was lowered on H&R springs, which dropped the car pretty low. The rear never rubbed. With a 11"+15, you can fit a 315 or 325 depending on your camber and ride height.
