295/35/18 on 9.5" wheel

Apollo8642

I run a 305/30 for my rears on my Nismo

I'm also going to be running the RFP1's 18x10.5 +15 all the way around with either the 295/35 or 305/30

The first owner of my Nismo ran 17x9.5's on it, they fit, and barely cleared. You might been able to put a business card between the two. There is some little scuff marks on top the calipers from the rim and caliper deflecting into each other under hard corning and braking.

I cant wait to see the result of 10.5 +15 RPF1 on the 370z.
Because with those 9.5 +15, I had to roll the fender and then getting those 10.5, they will be sticking out even more by 12-13mm !!!

post some good pictureS with that setup as soon as possible

By all accounts, RPF1's will NOT fit over the Sport brakes, so if you're running base brakes, you're good, otherwise... might wanna do some research.

I thought the OEM BBK were slightly smaller than the AP Racing BBK ??? The sport brake arent 14'' disk ? APR are 14.25''. This is why I always thought the APR would have less clearance.

anyway if this the case the OP must get the base brake OR go with the AP kit from what you are saying? The RPF1 will fit no problem, and good luck with the 10.5 +15 as Ive been saying , the 9.5 +15 is pretty much the only one that will work with some more neg Camber and some fender rolling.

I always been taking about the +15 offset, since I always mentioned which spec im talking about. The others offset wont work unless you run spacer.

I should have said I want 18x10.5 +15's but hey if they don't work then there is the option of 18x10 +38 and run spacers. I've also been eyeing the Cosmis Racing wheels in a 18x10.5 +20 or 18x10 +25 It depends on the brand of tire, size, side wall, camber, and how low the car is as.
I'll post pics as soon as I have some and what I end up doing. I just want to get the largest amount of rubber up front as I can, and run squarded up so I can rotate tires.

If guys are running 20x10 +25 on a lowered car

and 20x10.5 +30 there should be room to play with.

I'm no tire+wheel wizard, but just to aggregate and comment on some things people have said above:


I personally run 10.5" RPF1's with 285/35 square with no spacers and have had 0 issues with spacing/rubbing/hitting the wheel wells so far.

arent you on stock ride height suspension?

18x10.5 RPF1 only come in et15

clintfocus

their's no way et15 18x10.5 is going to fit up front with any reasonably wide tire AND be used for track use without fender modification.

18x9.5 et15 is the same outside fender clearance i run currently which is 18x10.5 et28. And i run -3.2 camber. Ive seen some street guys run 18x10.5 et15 with stretched tire but that hardly counts as "fitting" especially under performance usage

I run the 295/40s on one set of wheels that are 18x10 and one that are 18x9.5. No adverse affects and no feel difference between the two.
