Buying wheels need help on fitment.

WYSlide · 02-21-2013, 04:59 PM

Looking at a set of wheels 18x9.5 front and rear +12 offset will I have any issues with fitment, will I need or any recommendation for spacers? thanks

Fronts will poke outside the fender. Rears will be a tad sunken in.

Needs +22 Front

Depends on the specific wheel and whether or not if you have the sport brakes on your Z

What are you looking at purchasing?

I have a friend with Enjuku that can get me a deal on 2 sets of Square Wheels. I am putting one set on my 240sx and thought about another on my 370. They only come in 18x9.5 +12 I have a base model Z.

X2 I actually poke a bit outside the fender at 18X9.5 +20. You'll need a 10-15mm spacer on the rear.

Well....if the fronts aren't going to fit then that option is out.

fronts CAN fit with a slightly stretched tire with some camber but how you wanna go about it is up to you. -2.5ish degrees of camber would make it possible to squeeze with a 255/40 or more risky with a 275/35.

Yeah I was hoping to just put a good set of springs on it for now and a nice set of wheels, I think I am better off to continue looking.

Most get 10.5" wide wheels with +12 offset in the back. That means you'd need 25 mm spacers in the rear.

yea square setup is no good unless you are willing to work with tires and camber
