19 x 11 +25
19 x 10 +22
I rolled my front fenders slightly as well.

theDreamer 04-13-2011 09:16 AM

What is your camber at?
I have on order, 19x10 +22 & 19x11 +20 in flat black RE30, so this gives me a good idea of what they will look like.

Elysium 04-13-2011 09:26 AM

Not sure what they are set at right now, I'll have to dig up my last alignment printout. I definitely have to take some camber out of the back though before I destroy the Michelins so I have to install some adjustable camber arms. I probably should have gone with a slightly smaller tire in the front as well since there was a bit of rubbing but I rolled the fender slightly and it's fine now.
I had the same RE30's on last year but in bronze with a 255 front tire and no issues.

theDreamer 04-13-2011 09:28 AM

I have a 265 up front right now and that will transfer over to the RE30, I will see if it rubs.
Will not be dropped for another week or so probably but I think the alignment/camber setup will play a large factor.

I do, have exact size and wheel. You're gonna need a 10mm spacer in the to even out the front and rear. I added a 10mm and a 2.5mm spacer from z1

I saw from some of your albums that you are running 19x10.5 +7 in the rear w/10mm spacers...is that correct? Because the ones that I ordered are 19x10.5 +18 already. Doesn't that equal out to the same thing you have(+1) or are you saying that I am still going to need spacers on top of the +18?

Looking good.

Small detail... but why are your slotted rotors "direction" different. Are the internal vanes on the powerslots directional?

Thanks! That was the same exact question the tech asked me, and I told him whatever works. The internal vanes are not directional. [shrugs]

Shane

I believe the +7 he has are with 10mm spacers, so his rear wheel offset is +17. The spacer essentially adds a negative offset, so if the spacer is 10mm, it'll subtract 10 from the wheel offset.

So to get close to that you need to run 10mm spacer as well then you will be +8. I'm running same wheels 19x10.5 +8 rear already with no spacer and I would say it's perfect. You'll need to do that to match the front offset which is more aggressive than the rears so the fronts will look like they stick out more if you don't put a spacer in the rear.

My fronts are +30 offset right now but I bet your +17 up front will be poking out just a tad. It should look perfect if you plan to lower the car an inch or so.

chuckd05 04-28-2011 01:03 AM

Tsolin is correct, I added a 10mm and a 2.5mm spacer making the offset even lower. But I have the exact offsets as u Steve. +17 up front +18 in the rear. But adding the 12.5mm in spacers makes it +17 front +5.5. With 9.5 and 10.5 widths and 255/40 and 305/35 tires... Check out the pics below. Pm me and I'll send u a pic with no spacer installed in the rear and you'll clearly see the difference. The 2.5 just further pushed out the rear but the 10mm h&r looked great too. My color wheel is custom since I had them refinished. It's a local places gunmetal.

^^rear wheels flush nicely with the fenders. Good job :tup:

tsolin01 04-28-2011 08:07 AM

It's looking pretty awesome :tup: That gunmetal color is nice, I wish the Ti Gunmetal ones were a bit darker like those.

Hey guys..need some opinions. I am thinking about getting the Volk GT-C's. My 370 is red and lowered on Sprint springs. Any thoughts regarding this setup? Recommendations? Btw they are 20x9.5f 20x10.5r

Hey Soprano,

I have a red Z as well and I just received my Volk GT-S in the mail yesterday. The finish is Mercury Silver. I am lowered on Swift springs. Keep an eye out for pics with wheels on the car. I will post up as soon as I can. Even though you are thinking of going with the GT-C's this will give you an idea of what it looks like.

Wheels installed today

Volk GT-S 19x19.5/10.5.

Tires Cont DW 285/35/19 and 245/45/19. I am going to re-order the fronts in 245/(35 or 40)/19. I have little to no room in the front with the swift spring drop. That little plastic bump inside the fender of that bolt was getting hit everytime I hit the smallest bump. I have since shaved down that bump within the fender and it's not near as bad now but still hits from time to time. Especially at higher speeds.

Over all I am very happy with the look. I have a 10mm spacer for the rear coming to me in the mail right now. I think once I have the spacer installed on the rear and the smalled tires on the front I will be G2G.

I think I also need to have them check the balancing of the tires because I feel some shutter in the car that wasnt there before with the stock sport tires/wheels. Maybe the tires just need some break in time for the shuttering to go away????? Comments/suggestions here please......

Thanks,

Shane

Juruki 05-19-2011 06:58 PM

^^ wrong tire sizes. Most people get 35/30 sidewalls, 40/35 if you want a little more tire to fill the gap
looks very nice thou :tup:

Are you saying 35 rear / 30 front?

Juruki 05-19-2011 07:13 PM

^^ 35 front and 30 rear
or 40front/35rear

You wanna have a taller sidewall on the fronts

why is that?

chuckd05 05-20-2011 02:06 AM

When you go wider the sidewall also gets taller so you get less of a sidewall...


I have 305/30/19 and 255/35/19, I had 305/30/19 and 255/40/19 and the taller sidewall in the front drove me crazy, i just changed the fronts on monday... this pic has 40 profile which is still too tall imo

http://www.the370z.com/members/chuck...4-img-1267.jpg


the sidewalls are nearly identical now after getting 255/35 because the 305 width makes the sidewall a bit taller... hope that makes sense...

Just get the same tire in a 35 or 40 profile and you are good to go, with the 285/35's I would prob get a 40 profile to match is better but you may still scrape on some bumps here and there

Take the guessing out and hit it old school:

By far best tool since last millennium!
