GT-S fit?:19x9.5 +17 / 19x10.5 +18
 
I found a local deal and wanna be sure this will fit my 370 Sport..

Tires are Toyo Proxes T1R 255/35 and 275/35.
Rims again are GT-S 19x9.5 +17 / 19x10.5 +18

I really hope so..

The rear would work, but not sure about the fronts, I think it would push the wheel too far out, and also negatively affect your steering.

My max recommendation on a 9.5 rim would be a +28, this effectively moves the wheel out toward the fender 25mm more then stock.

This wheel calculator may help you out:

Here are the stock 19 sport wheel settings:

19x9 +47
19x10 +30

I run 20mm spacers with my stock set up. Hope that helps.

Kevin,

The front wheels would better fit the 350Z and G35 coupe than your 370Z. We recommend the 19x9.5 +30 GTS for the front of the 370Z, for optimal fitment. The 19x10.5 +18 rear fits nicely though.

Here are some pictures of our GTS setup, with the specs that we recommend: http://www.the370z.com/members-370z-...70z-sport.html

Kevin,

Some of us Venaci wheel owners are running 9.5 +10 on our fronts and they fit fine... slightly aggressive but they fit fine. Your rears will fit fine too.

Thanks,...

I found a thread with the above thread title I displayed only after I posted and searched for a while..

Seems that the wheels will fit and that no one is going larger than 255's in the front with this setup. From the 2nd post tho,..how badly will it effect the handling as I can see that the wheels are further away from the suspension, but in what way will my handling suffer? I can see grip being better with wider tires, but is it at the sacrifice of responsiveness or overall handling?

If anyone can chime in would be appreciated so I know what to expect..Still going to pick them up since its a good price locally...us Hawaii people gotta pay like $600 just for shipping of rims...

Got them on and I love the tires..Car looks like a 4x4 with the oem suspension, but I cannot afford to lower the car due to my steep driveway and streets in Hawaii with the FI exhaust im running.

Sorry Bad pics as I took em last night, but will post nicer ones when I have the chance..

lol they do make the Z look like a jeep. take that baby rallying :tup: j/k

abakja1 12-16-2009 03:49 PM

I'm looking at getting at least Eibach springs at the least....Im jealous that you mainland people get free shipping and living in Hawaii will have to pay $100+ to get it..

Anyways,...No rubbing at all since checking tire pressure (was 28 psi when I took pics since they were used).... some more pics I took yesterday afternoon after leaving work..

looks great

NYBladeZ 12-16-2009 05:16 PM

any noticeable effect in the steering due to the offset?

abakja1 12-16-2009 05:43 PM

Dont know why someone posted that comment about effecting the steering, but I dont notice any degration at all..

Due to the wider front tires, I think that there is better grip for sure with wider looking stance. Sure the Toyo T1R are the reason why,...braking seems to bite more too....

How's the 275/35 working for you? I ordered 285/30 from what Forged Performance recommended, but I'm afraid the wheel gap will widen. I was really hoping for 285/35 or 305/30, but wasn't sure if it would rub.

Are you still stock height? It doesn't look too bad. I don't plan to drop my car.

Looking real good.
