Wheel too outside HELP!

Sharpinou · 03-13-2017, 12:38 PM

Hi Everyone

Got new Stance SC5 and swift springs on my Z.

Wheels specs: Front 20x9 +20mm with Continental DWS 245/35r20
Rear 20x10.5 +27mm with Continental DWS 285/30r20

I really don't like the front wheel that is way to much out for my taste ( 10/15mm too out). Rear is absolutly perfect. No spacer anywhere.

Car as not being aligned yet, I have to do that first but there is snow here..... but if aligned my car and it dosen't work what can I do? Any tips?

Tks

fronts must be the incorrect offset....guess buy new rims or live with it.

Sounds like you should have done some more research before you purchased wheels with an offset that doesn't suit you

jaytirbhaw · 03-13-2017, 01:12 PM

do you have adjustable camber arms ?

GetYourWheels · 03-13-2017, 01:19 PM

Definitely get an alignment done.

Did the installer have load on the suspensions before tightening everything up? Not sure if this is an importance with the 370z but I've made this a habit when doing suspension work for any car.

complete and utter failure to learn what the hell you're doing before doing it

thats a conservative front fitment that everyone uses. Hell, you should be more aggressive front and rear. Way more aggressive in back.

throw your wheels away
throw your suspension away

get better wheels
get SPL FUCA
get an alignment
prosper

With the specs listed you shouldn't have any issues. Check if they installed the rears upfront? Either that or you received the wrong wheels.

ChaseZ · 03-13-2017, 02:59 PM

How much did you lower?

Those fronts will probably tuck or close to it once an alignment is done. Your front is definitely more aggressive than the rear. Either get different offset rims to suit your tastes (with appropriate costs attached) or once the alignment is done measure the difference where the rear wheels are more inset and get spacers to move them out so they are the same as the fronts. The latter would be my choice in this case.

You can only decrease offset with the help of spacers. Unfortunately, you wouldn't be able to increase the offset without having to reorder new wheels

Volk Z · 03-13-2017, 04:40 PM

How Is that front offset too much poke for you?? Mine is 9.5+15 and it works perfect....

guess u didnt read any of my posts. if u cant return those wheels, lower ur ride and get spacers for the rear. u needed to go with ET32 or higher number if 9" width at stock ride. whoever sold u dat set didnt know wtf he's talking about. too agressive front for stock height, too weak rear for lowered ride.

Fine print: don't do this

kenchan · 03-13-2017, 05:06 PM

btw, alignment wont do crap for ur setup unless u have aftermarket a-arms to give it more camber. even so it will not look right. lower ur ride and get spacers for da rear.
