advan gt sizing question
 
Hey Guys,

I want to order advan gt's in racing white

specs

f 18 x 10 et 35

r 18 x 12 et 27

tires are toyo R888R

f 275/35/18

r 305/35/18

I am lowered on KW V3's and I will lower accordingly so I am not really worried about fender clearance on the outside. My main concern is inside clearance ie coil overs and what not

So we called Mackin Ind and he said they wouldn't recommend going so aggressive because those would be sizes for a wide body?

Its basically only pushing out the wheels 10 mm on the outside, so that is why i'm concerned about inside clearance

thanks in advance!

I run 18x10.5 +30 front and 18x10.5 +30 with a 15 mm spacer with 295 30 square with zero issues. I also run 18x11+18 square with 315 30 and no issues. You are only adding .5 inch in diameter so I don't see an issue.

So I want to order project lug nuts and the r40 comes open ended. Do I have to worry about rust living in la?

OptionZero 11-14-2018 06:54 PM

cancel your order, **** those sizes

Advan GT's are nearly $1k per wheel. You're gonna spend $4k on wheels . . . and get WEAK SAUCE FITMENT? Why not light your money on fire?
Thats like buying really, super nice suit, but in a size too small so you look like a goof

You want:
20x10.5 +24 w/ 285/30/20
20x12 +20 w/ 325/25/20

AlWakRa 11-15-2018 04:31 AM

What is your main purpose OP? Is it track or street, r888r are very noisy for a street tires, if track, I think better to go 18x10 +22 front and 18x11 +15 rear with negative camber with your tire sizes to get similar look tires fitment, my car looks goofy with one perfect fitted tire, and one stretched.

I agree, buying right the first time is best option. I think 18 looks nice on 370z, but for a track car :rofl2:
For street or show car, 19/20 will look nicer.

18 x 10 et 22 is too aggressive and I rub in the front. I see what your'e saying although if I can fit a 12 I'll just go up in size next set if they look too stretched. Also yes they are noisy but its a weekend car so why not, and the go-kart feel doesn't hurt

damn 20's son. I had the stock 19's on my last z and it just looked kinda cartoonish at times....too big for the car imo. If you want it to look right you gotta go lowwww

OptionZero 11-15-2018 05:34 PM

Exactly

Get coilovers and arms and do the damn thing right

$4k on wheels and cheaping out in suspension ? Makes nonsense to me

Do you buy thousand dollar suits and wear sandals to work?


This is a prime example of why you gotta plan out your mods ahead of time.

Also, V3's don't even go that low. I think the lowest setting will still leave a 2 finger gap, so if you're worried about being "too low" . . . nah

20's and no rubbing, room to go lower, room to go higher and still look fine

Its ludicrous to think 19's are too big for the Z. They have MASSIVE wheel wells, and hell, the STOCK NISMO comes with 19's

Watchu mean I have spl rear camber arms. I’m running -2.5 all around
Also your ride looks sweet!

OptionZero 11-15-2018 11:49 PM

If you have all the adjustable arms there is even LESS REASON TO 18s

Honestly I’ve had both and like the look of 18’s much more when they’re super concave, whatever tickles my pickle doesn’t have to tickle yours. The te’s look sweet by the way. I was stuck between these two.

Look at this post if you have -2.5 camber all around, it will be tucked, unless you are after this look ;)
