Default Need an answer that I can understand.

I don't really understand how to get a flush look with wheel offsets. I do not want to use spacers. Ive asked a couple of vendors, but they haven't explained it. So i will ask you guys.

This is what i want...19 Advan RS wheels and a flush look on the 370z. My understanding is that I can get 19X9 and 19x10 wheels in the RS. I don't know if I should stagger or go 10 all around. The offsets provided by one vendor for these wheels was Front 19x9.0 +22 and rear 19x10.0 +15. What i don't understand is how those can be identical to the offsets recommended to me when I had a 350z. From my research, I've found that stock 350z wheels were Front 18x8 Offset: +30mm, Rear 18x8.5 Offset: +33mm. and the stock sport wheels on the 370z are front 19 x 9 +47 19 x 10 +30.

Basically my questions are: will the recommendation give me a flush look? How can they be flush on both the 350z and the 370z when these vehicles have different stock offsets?

Thank you.

If your specs are correct on the stock 370 sport rim. The recommended new wheels will stick out 22 mm more on the front and 15mm more in the rear. Which doesnt seem ideal.

Go staggered, the advan wheels are better designed for the 370z. It will fit on the 350z but the front will be tucked in. I'm hoping to get the rgd in the same size.

I don't know your idea of flush but you can get an idea how flush it will be if you take out a ruler. The rgd is .5 inch wider in the rear so that will push the wheel out by about 20mm. I installed 20mm spacers and it looks much better than stock offset.
