Will these rims fit the 370z ?
 
20x9.5 +15. 20x10.5 +10

Thos offsets and widths will fit the 370z well. I would highly recommend your car being lowered as the front is very aggressive so negative camber will be needed.

If you are lowering the car I would recommend a 20x10.5+0 to match the aggressiveness of the front... The setup above will have a more aggressive front by around 15MM.

Lastly, since you didn't list a specific wheel, I would recommend ensuring the width/offset on this wheel will fit over your calipers. It should be fine but I would hate to see you get a new set of wheels and it rubs the caliper.

Is there a way to check for that without seeing the wheel?

Calling the company up or vendor and see if they work with the sport brakes on a 370z... Otherwise it would depend on the pad length on the wheel, concavity of the spokes, lip depth... Too many little factors to consider but like I said those offsets/widths should not be a problem...

I don't think I will be lowering the car. The wheel I had in mine is works hs202

Well then that front offset will be wayyyyy too aggressive for a stock height car the rear will be ok. If you are not going to lower the max I would go is a 9.5 width with a +22 offset but that's still pushing it.

Do you really have all of those cars listed on your sig? Or are those all the cars you have had through the years?

I have driven all of them and all but the RSX-S were a blast to drive... Of course the Z is fun to drive as I own one, then the EVO is 2nd then the S2K, RSX-S was not half as fun as my Celica GT-S I had years ago and the power was similar.

What year Celica?

Volk Z 09-22-2013 02:19 PM

I had a 2000 Celica GT-S in 2001 when I was 19 and loved it so much that in 2008 I bought for a 2nd car a 2002 Celica GT-S with the TRD package.
I had my 350z I only drove in the warmer months when I lived up North so the celica was my fun all year car :)

I just sold my 2000 GT-S. With the right kit it's one of the sexiest cars around (IMO). Even now it holds up well, as far as looks go. A bit slow though.

Ditto, I really like my 01 GTS. Added a NX kit to it and that helped with the speed. We should have a post your Celica thread since it seems so common for them to move on to the Z and a next car.

Toyota with the Supra back in the 90s and the Celica in the 2000's were WAYYY ahead of their time for design and appeal. I remember after I got my 350z people asking me is that the new Celica... Oh boy

I wish Toyota would get back into the performance cars like back in the day... Toyotas claim to fame right now is the 200HP scion FR-s which was a bit of a fail with no turbo.

Imagine a Toyota Supra Twin Turbo for maybe 55K NO mark up like the GTR and a Toyota Celica re-release with a 4 Cyl turbo :) ditch the scion brand please
The scion FR-S would have been cooler if it was named Toyota 86 and bring back the trueno 86 name like tak fron Initial D :)

Agree. When I decided to get a new car, I test drove the FRS (Scion bleh). After the test drive, I figured why trade one Celica for another (power wise) and decided to get a Z.

But we are off topic. I hope matrix2 got his answer and does not mind.

Do it.

At least this forum is not as political as newcelica.org.

I remember newcelica.org... The members were pretty rude to each other and not super welcoming, reminded me of my VW buddies up north... It was like if it wasn't about a celica they would all hate, I actually had haters on that celica website on my 350z when I posted my 2 cars Celica GTS and 04 350z with a lot of Japan parts... I was like ummm my Z would destroy all of your celicas and they actuall have similar designs... Its not like I put a mustang on there that's not even a japanese car.

OP I believe got his answer by me like 10 posts ago! Lol
