I had the same problem with my Volks (Gold SF) touching the caliper and they cleared the brembo on 350Z, so I just installed 3mm spacers. So maybe vendors still take the benchmark brembo as size for caliper clearance.

those would look amazing on a blue Z

Im still stuck thinking what offset and what disk type i should use for my VSXX... i asked a local tyreshop to suggest some offsets for the VSXX & didnt really get some results.. Is there anyone out there ever used VSXX on a 370Z?

Brakes: Sports Package
Front: 19x10 Offset: ??? Disk Type: ???
Rear: 19x11 Offset: ??? Disk Type: ???

What i expect for the end result is some deep dishes of the VSXX...

Hope someone can suggest me the offsets and disk type... Thanks Guys...

Doesn't work give u d offsets required? They r d manufacturers n they already got it wrong once.

abgyak · 05-30-2010, 01:08 AM

From what i've been told by my supplier (ALC, Beribi), Work requested us to measure the offsets!! Isnt that ridiculous!! As a big company they should have well knowledge on the cars!! hmm...

wow thats crap.. best to rely on someone who's done the same wheels and just copy off him. i feel you man, ordering and trying takes time..

Great looking wheels! I had some on my EvoX.

My suggestion would be to go to a local shop and try out wheels they have there to see what you can get away with. Then it might be easier to figure out exactly what you need for the Works with your baseline

vehl · 07-07-2010, 12:51 AM

so whats the story on yr wheels yak?
I'm considering changing wheels and the varianza is on my shortlist, either 19s or 20s but I dont want to lower mine.

Work finally told me that the VS-XX doesnt fit the 370Z with the big brake kit.. Only unless i used spacers... Here's the Quote:

I am sorry to inform you… but 370Z using VS-XX, you have to use spacers. VS-XX 19” use 3 different types of center disk, R, A and O type. R = for cars with bigger brake, A = for moderate size brake and O for small brakes. VS-XX is a relatively old wheel. Years ago, the brake system on most vehicle are not as big, so the designer never really had to factor in the brake clearance that is required on some of the newer cars of today. Even if we use R-Disk for the front, you will still need to use minimum of 8mm spacer. The rear you have to use A-Disk with about 3mm spacer.

Today i just confirmed with my supplier that i'll be taking the VS-MS ... Hopefully it'll be here in 2months time... when's urs coming? Varianza T1S or W4S? Both will definitely look great on a 370!!

abgyak · 04-05-2011, 09:45 PM
