Wheel Help. 350z to 370z can't remember my offsets.

[Fooch]

I have a set of Racing Hart CR 3-piece wheels (19x9 front, 19x10 rear) that I had on my '05 350z, my '07 350z and I just went up to a 2010 370z. I can't remember for the life of me what my offset was on the wheels. I am trying to find out if they are able to be transferred over to the 370z. I assume that they won't be able to be transferred without spacers or something, but I was just trying to figure out if I need to sell them or not. I just put brand new Yokohama s.drives on them and wheels are a pain to sell lol. Thanks for any help.

wild guess, you have identical to these: FS: RACING HART CR Silver w/ Tires= - MUST GO! - Nissan 350Z Motoring Forums

Front:
19x9.0 +26mm High Pad (Clears Brembo & Non-Brembo)
2.0" Lip

Rear:
19x10 +22mm Mid Pad (Clears Brembo & Non-Brembo)
3.5" Lip

Yeah that is them.

Can these be transferred to the 370z? Do I need spacers? Is it even possible? Or should I just sell them?

You will probably need spacers to make them flush because of the offsets, but I don't see why they wouldn't fit.

What size spacers would you think? And where is a good place to get them? Never ordered spacers before.

Well, I run the 350z track rays wheels on mine (widened, but doesn't matter for this example) In the rears I need a 25mm spacer, but can't really say for the front, as I also use a rear 350z wheel up there, but without a spacer, it fits fine.

I'm not sure exactly...I was going over my wheel/tire notes from some of the things I've read on this form and I'm thinking a 10mm spacer in the rear and the front might actually be fine with no spacer. Maybe someone with more experience can say better.

I am running a +15 offset in the front and a +0 offset in the rear. Depending on your pad height will determine your fitment... Your offsets look like they are in the green to clear the sport brakes as for being flush you have a long way to go!!! mine are 9.5 +15 and 11+0 and I am flush.

[Snakebite202]

Damn bullitt...do you have pics posted?

[Fooch]

So what kind of spacers do you think I would need? Anyone know? They look like they are a couple hundred bucks. Don't want to just take a stab in the dark lol.

OK, here you go.

Fronts:
Your aftermarket fronts will tuck in 21mm from stock. So you could use a spacer between 20mm for a stock look, up to 35mm with no clearance issues.

Rears:
They will tuck in 8mm. You can use a 10mm spacer for a stock look or up to a 30mm spacer to get them more flush.

The upper range of the spacers would rougly be equal to stock wheels with 15 and 20mm spacers on them.

Thanks a lot! Those seem like pretty big spacers. I've heard spacers are not good to use. That true?

Personally, I'd rather have a wheel with the correct offset than use spacers on my car. But that's just me.

I can't believe the difference in offset between the Z33 and Z34. Wow.

done correctly, they are fine. They will effectively add to the pad of the wheel, making them more like stock.

If you want to use those wheels, I recommend 20mm up front and 15 rear. You will probably have to use the kind that user longer wheel studs as your original studs would protrude with the bolt on kind.

I'm in the same boat as the OP, but my 19x9.5 and 10.5s are +22 all around (and I'm gonna put them on my 370 as well). Since we all have the same hubs, wouldn't it make sense to determine the max offset and do the math from there, assuming a stock suspension? Or are there factors here I'm missing?
