The "Will it fit?" thread

I dont know if this is possible but maybe some type of reference sheet would work better for this type of thread. you could list out all the wheel sizes + offsets that will work with the car and also add a field for each on wether a spacer would be needed and its size. might be too large of a undertaking though with all the different wheels out there and then you run into the issue of will a specific wheel clear the bigger brakes or not. Just an idea.

Excellent idea! But I don't think it should be "instead of" or replace this thread. The stat sheet would be very helpful, but there will always be times when we want to ask each other questions, offer the benefit of our experience, etc.

BTW, I should point out to all concerned that I am no expert like Bullitt, RCZ and others. I just thought the thread would be a good idea. I am pleased to see such a healthy response already!

Here is an interesting article. I don't entirely agree with everything said, and the writing is a little amateurish, but it's more information to throw into the hopper.

Performance Wheel Test - Modified Magazine

[striderx88]

Wheel Style - Rota DPT
Wheel Diameter (Inches) - 18"
Wheel Width (Inches) - 9F/10R"
PCD Bolt Pattern - 5x100/114.3(dual drill)
Offset - +20F, +20Rmm
Hub Bore - 73mm

will it fit ???

Come on people, lets help each other out. (OP)

Striderx88: I think it will, mainly due to the offsets. But remember, as I've said before, I am not an expert. I hope someone else chimes in for you.

Here's my current setup: 18 X 8 front/18 X 9 rear; 225/50 front and 275/40 rear.

I'm looking at getting the following setup: 18 X 8.5 front with +30 offset and 18 X 9.5 with +25 offset.

I don't know enough about offsets to say what will or won't work so I need help! I mostly worried about the rear offset, will it fill the rear wheel-well. Also, will I need a 245/45 tire for the front?

Thanks!

These sizes and offsets are very weak! I would as a minimum reccomend a 9.5" up front and a 10"+ rear. These are more suitable to our cars and will allow you a greater range of tire widths. I would also reccomend a 245 upfront and atleast a 275 in rear. Let's put it this way... I Could slide the 370z on 255/305 setup and do standing burn outs while my car was stockand don't forget I'm on 20's! If you go 9.5's try to get as close to +20 offset. Now for the rears if you go 10.5 I would say as close to +0 as possible!

Good luck

Ahhh. Thanks for the feedback/help. The setup I'm looking at now is:

18 X 9 +30mm and 18 X 10 +15mm. I'm going with 245/45 upfront and for now, a 275/40 rear. On a 10-inch wheel, what's the widest tire you would recommend?

Hey, Bullitt, thanks for helping with some specific information. I'm sure Drum1972 appreciates it, as do I. I sure hope we can get more knowledgeable people chiming in. And if not in this thread, I still advocate a "Central Clearinghouse", Sticky type thread to integrate all these questions about wheel fitment in one handy section.

Thanks again.

Will this fit properly (and NICE! not cheap like i have a wrong set up without me doing anything else to my car (2009 base)
Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110

not sure if you ment 8.5 or 9.5+20's on front,
rear's should be fine 6.71 backspacing & 5.29 frontspacing-almost 1/2" further out than stock nismo 19x10.5+23's.
front's 8.5+20 has 5.54BS & 3.96FS.......9.5+20's have 5.96"BS & 4.54"FS
factory Nismo 9.5 wide wheels are +40 7.08"bs & 3.42"fs
running the size tire you mentioned are 26" tall-so the fronts would be the one's i'd be more concerned with.
8.5's should be fine,,,not sure about 9.5's-have them send you pic's
have a nice day!

Hey guys im about to change tires for the first time. I want to run 285 rears and 265 fronts. The tires I want are fine for the rears (285/35/19) but the matching tire for the front only comes in a 265/30. Will that smaller aspect ratio look weird in the front? And with those size tires what specers should I run to flush the tires with the fenders? Thanks

[bezzita]

will Nismo OEM rear wheels fit at the front? 19"x10.5" +23?

I am thinking to get a square setup

it will fit but only with camber and a tire stretch. You will most likely rub too if your lowered. Most guys are running 10 +20~25 or so in the front when they are trying to go big like that. Your adding 6.5mm more to the outside making you more aggressive than most people on 10's up front. You can try it but its going to require some work. I hope this helps

[bezzita]

Thanks bullit

Off topic:
Any one sell wider fenders? It would look sick if I can run 4 OEM REAR Nismo rims w/ 305 tires front n rear
