Stock Sport Package Rays Rear Wheels on Front?
 

A buddy of mine is selling 2 rear stock sport package Rays wheels. The 19x10 +30 wheels. Will these fit without issue on the front of the car? I have the sport package which includes the larger brakes and want to makes sure those offsets are good to clear the front brakes and not rub with the fender lining/fender lip on the outside. Thinking about doing a square setup front and rear using the factory rear Rays wheels on all four corners of the car.

Anyone have pictures if they've done this? It would be great to see how they fit visually.

According to an offset calculator you would have 4mm more inner clearance and it would extend 30mm further out. I imagine that it depends on if you're dropped or not but you will likely need some negative camber to not poke.

Hmm yeah... So it would sit roughly 1 1/4" out further due to the increased wheel width and offset. You may be right it may need some camber, but it may be all set as is also. Gotta take some measurements unless someone else has already tried it?

Yeah, people DO run 4 rears,
I know someone running 4 rear Nismos! Lol

I don't know how much camber people are running, although I imagine it's a lot

I know there's some folks running 25mm spacers for the sport fronts in the spacer threads but I don't think I've seen anyone with 30's and most of the 25's have been lowered to some degree. I just purchased 20mm spacers all around and I'm slightly worried that the front will be a bit more aggressive than I would like but I didn't want to mess with replacing studs...lol.

I like 20mm on every corner. Although like 22mm would be PERFECT on the rear with 20mm on the front

I think you should just switch the wheels real quick and test it out! Should take you no longer than 30min :tup:

IMO that would look kind of funny though, Hot Wheel status. But if it works and is what you want WGAF.

I had seen pictures of 22mm and they looked pretty good but I took advantage of Z1's sale this weekend! Perhaps I'll find time this weekend to put the spacers and emblems on my car!

I think I will do just that.

Stud replacement isn't too hard.

Post a pic if you do! I wouldn't mind seeing how it fits and what it looks like.

Remember to remove the bolt that's in the front hub that doesn't allow the rear tire to go on the front hub. It simply screws out.

:tup: me too. Interested in seeing how it looks.

I'll probably give it a shot in a week or two. When I do it I will post a picture.

:pics:please sir...

I would like to see that as well

did you ever do this??

Performing CPR on this thread to see if anyone has tried it, photographed it, liked it...

I did, car handled really well. Sat nicely flush. No pics though, sorry

here is a pic of my ride with a square set up :confused: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c412cb18f6.jpg

Here's my square rear setup with 275/35 Federal RS-RR's all around. I'm extremely happy with the setup, and will have this one for quite awhile. I'm running a 20mm spacer in the rears only. Just ignore how dirty the car is at the moment lol.

Looks good man! How do you like the tires over the stock Potenzas? They do alright in rain?

I can't compare them to the stock Potenza's as I've never had a set of RE050A's. however, these beat out S-04's, PSS's , etc in dry grip. In the rain they are decent enough to be safe, but big puddles will make them skittish. However, I have zero issues with that considering how sticky they are.

What are Federal tires? I have never heard of them. Are they an in-house brand for one of the local tire manufacturers? In which comparison/test did Federal tires beat out Bridgestone S-04's and Michelin PSS's??? I am interested in seeing this article, please.

Federal is an outside market company. They are their own brand, and have their own tires. The test was my own personal experience with each tire. The RS-RR's are my 7th set of tires on the Z in two years lol.

I just googled Federal. With all due respect to you and my Chinese friends, there are a number of things that I prefer not to purchase from a Chinese manufacturer; food, medicine, tires and condoms are on top of that list. To each his own.

Edited for efficiency.

With the way some things have been going on this forum lately, it's safer to be in-depth than efficient. :rofl2:
Cheers!

Oh I don't blame you. I only bought these because they were $515 shipped for some sticky tires. I don't have very high hopes for wet hydroplaning, or road noise. But I'm also not worried about them. Their dry grip is what I'm here for.
