Default Wheel sizing help

Hi All!

Copying this from the new owner thread since i got no reply there. I just picked up a 2011 370z base model and I'm looking at a staggered set of 19" Avant Garde M310 Wheels. But before I buy, I want to make sure they'll fit with the stock setup, if they'll be flush, etc. I've been searching and reading threads for two days, and I definitely feel a little smarter, but can't get a comfortable feeling that I know what I'm doing yet.

Here's what I'm looking at:

19x9.5" fronts / 19x11" rears
Offset: et 20 fronts and et 18 rears

I know i've seen plenty of posts on here with 11" rears, but I don't know if something had to be done to make them fit. Any help is greatly appreciated!

You shouldn't have any problem with those fitting. You might even need a spacer on the back if you want the front and back to lineup the same.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks w0rM! I'm going to go ahead and order them. I'll keep the spacer in mind if they don't line up exactly right.

Any recommendations on tires to look at?

I'm not expert on tires like some of the guys around here but...

The Michelin Pilot Super Sports are very popular and they comes in lots of different sizes. So, if you wanted to do something like a 305/30, they have it.

The Potenza RE11s are really popular. The folks who like to track some to favor these. I don't think they have as many size choices though.
