Crazy vs Normal

JC-Nismo · 10-15-2014, 03:32 PM

I agree with you guys on a persons personal preference, but when the question of it being functional and safe come into play, that when I just say "come on now, that's just ridiculous"
The wheels are gonna be a long shot, but for some strange reason, I thinks it's gonna work. I see post where guys are running G37's with 10.5's with +25 up front with 265 tires with zero issues and from what I understand, the z has a deeper wheel base and wider fender flares. Diego from Vossen has this setup with 265's and has no issues on his G37 along with another member who states the same and says he believes a Z will clear 285's up front with no issues in comparison to his car and the notion that Z's have a deeper wheel base. One question is this, for all the people who run 9.0's and 9.5's up front and then add a 20/25mm spacer to push the wheels out to the fender, wouldn't it be similar or equivalent to just run a wider wheel without the spacer in the first place? The numbers don't always add up to fact when it come to offsets cause I've had wheels on cars that the stats say shouldn't fit, but they do including my SRT8 that I've owned for over 7 years now with the same wheels that I was told wouldn't fit or clear the brakes. Only one true way to find out and that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
