The "Will it fit?" thread

httorihanzo · 09-28-2016, 06:52 PM

Just saw on tire rack that RE-11 doesnt come in 20" sizes. Foiled.

OTW Z-Boy · 09-28-2016, 07:55 PM

Why are we upsizing the rim diameter in the rear?

httorihanzo · 09-28-2016, 08:04 PM

I like the staggerd looks. It's common for sport cars to have a larger diameter wheel in the back and I personably like the idea. Wouldn't do it if I saw one done that way and it didn't look nice or if it seemed out of place. Have an opinion one way or another?

OptionZero · 09-28-2016, 10:37 PM

as long as the tire sizing is ok, itll be fine
just that most Z people are super conservative and dont wanna try diff things

jchammond · 09-29-2016, 02:42 AM

Corvette stagger's the wheel size to keep the same amount of sidewall F/R.
1" differential & the front wheel openings are smaller than the rear: as on the Z,,,they are the same size.
But what ever floats your boat. ��

I have double-staggered on my Z, but the sizes are 19x10 & 20x11 w/ 275/35 and 305/30 Michelin PSS. I've always preferred the look so I've done it on all of my cars for the past few years (MK3 Supra, S14, GS430, now the Z).

Fitment Question:
Ran into a good deal on a set of wheels I really like - only concern is the front offset.
20X9.5 +45 all around with 245/35/20 Tires. Thoughts?

OptionZero · 09-29-2016, 04:36 PM

stay away
sunk as hell

dont buy wheels because they're a good deal

dig through threads until you find the sizing you want and target wheels from there

should never be based on "oh hey they look cheap!"

those wheels are probably for a lexus

NRGz · 10-01-2016, 02:38 PM

Im looking at Niche Veronas. 18/45(or 40) 9.5 and 8 with a +40mm in both the front.
These will be rounded up with 275/18 and 245/18 would these clear my brakes?

09 touring WITHOUT sport brakes. Basically a Base touring.

If not, what offset am i looking for? Somethng closer to +20? Or less than +20?

Hopefully looking for something near OEM without any spacers or anything. BUT if it is needed to run spacers. What size am i looking at for front and rear. Will these make it stick too far out of the fenders?

i have a 10 base on megan lowering spring and thinking about going 18x9.5 +22 with 265/40/18 in the front and 18x10.5 +15 with 295/40/18. What are your opinions help anyone !

oh and i plan on getting 25mm spacers in front and 20 or 15 mm spacers in the rear just don't know what kind ?

(first post)

Gday from Australia
Got these recently:

TSW Bathurst (gunmetal)
19x9+30
19x10.5+27

Michelin Pilot Supersports
245/40
285/35

Grey 09 Z, stock height. I believe all Australian 370Z's have the 'sports brakes'.

Front wheels are flush with guards, rears are slightly in, could do with a 10mm spacer, may or may not do so in the future (they're definitely illegal here).
Exactly the fitment I was expecting thanks to my research on here.

One quirk I found was the holes for the lugs are bloody narrow... Had to actually go out and buy a slimmer socket because the one I had barely fit and would've fouled the wheel.

25mm spacers on 9.5" wide wheels with +22 offsets and 265 tires will be too much. How much camber do you plan on running? I have 19x9.5 +20 and 265/35 tires up front and I could maybe, get away with 2.5mm spacers.

For the rear, I'm running 19x11 +10 (+15 really, with 5mm spacers), so you should be good with 15mm or 20mm spacers on 18x10.5 +15 wheels with 295 tires. I would suggest H&R spacers.

solteroblues · 10-10-2016, 05:29 PM

I'm planning on some 20x9 F and 20x10.5 R both with +15 offsets. Stock suspension setup... Will they fit and What size tires should I go with?

jchammond · 10-12-2016, 03:11 PM

Stock Sport Wheels are 19x9+47F & 19x10+30R
The offset differential for these cars is right at 1", so with the same diameter wheels (F/R) 25mm spacers will put them close to spot on...(20-25mm pending on camber adjustment)
That's why you see a 9.5+25 & 10.5+12 a common fitment....1" difference in wheels = 12,13mm offset difference.
