I wanted to run 9.5+15 front RPF1 and got mixed response on facebook. Still don't know if the face has enough clearance. What is the width of the front wheel you want?

I'm running an 18x9 +35 in the front currently.

i'm on the base wheels with +20mm spacer in front so for a good fitment you'll need a spacer. making clearance for brakes a lot easier. I wouldn't buy +35 if you're buying new wheels tho personally.

18x9.5+15 and 18x10.5+15 clear bbk on the 370z actually has a pretty solid fitment upfront. I have a set and ran them with no spacers

Return your fronts and buy better sizes

EDIT:
18x9.5 +22 is sold out. I mean this should make it pretty obvious what size spacer you need . . .

but a better solution:
Return your fronts AND your rears

buy 19x9.5 +25 and 19x10.5 +12

question, so i had a set of rpf1s, in the front 18x9.5+15 upfront. I loved the fitment it was great, so im currently trying to match that since i have the 18x9.5+38. For the same fitment would i have to run a 25mm spacer? Since 38-15 is 23? Is that how that would work? I would have tried to 20mm but Z1 doesnt have it in stock

Yes, your math is correct. 20mm or 25mm spacers will give you what you want. There are plenty of vendors besides Z1 that sell 20mm spacers.

Aodhan DS06 19x9.5/11 +15 f/r fit over akebono sport brakes on a 370? Want flush fitment with having to roll/pull fenders, would like to stay away from using spacers if possible as well. Can't find any info on these wheels with the same brakes. All results are for 18s...

275/35/19 on a 9.5” ET20 front wheel lowered on Eibach springs.
I’m running 305/30 in the rear. I am running a 255 front tire now but I don’t like the sidewall stretch.

Will the 275 fit?

The 275 with fit the rim nicely. I ran the 275 on the 9.5" rim for awhile. I don't know about the rest of the fitment.

k67p67 · 08-27-2021, 03:16 PM

It will definitely fit. Though, most run 265/35 with 305/30.

Will the 265 have sidewall stretch? I really don’t like that look.
I made a mistake and allowed my wheel vendor to talk me into 255’s
They look very stretched. That was 700.00 down the tubes.

Keep in mind that you will see slight dimensional variances between different manufacturers and even between different models of tire from the same manufacturer. Search for images of a 265/35 on a 9.5 wheel. You should be able to find a ton.

HapaZ · 09-13-2021, 11:21 PM

Just wanna double check what a vendor is saying will fit...
