Stock Akebono brakes. I have read that 18's will clear however, the HR are the rim I have in storage to use. As for the MT DR, can you clearify why you would choose them over Nittos?

No new camber arms or anything. Everything is stock other than the power adder and urethane rear dif bushings.

I didn't see that he wanted 245/35-19 on the front. Missed it. So the 245/35-19 PSS is 25.5" Yea, that will most likely play hell with the computer with what the OP wants to run on the rear. The 275/35-19 might be a better fit on the stock rim for the front.

Nitto's High Quality tire also; both will wear out the inner part of tire faster-unless camber is brought to "0" or ver close to it.
These cars negative camber when you launch-which may lead to a slight + initial camber setting,to get maximum rubber surface touching.
NT05R 305/35 should fit as well. 27.44" tall

I'm not sure what OEM camber is. Anyhoo, if it wasn't, what I want it to set it to 0 correct? Will it affect handling much or at all. I mean, that's the "golden egg" of a Nismo. It's not the speed, the looks, it's the balance of handling.

Factory specs are -2.16* min & -1.17* max
-1.67* nominal.
My factory eccentric bolts are adjusted all the way to positive & it peaks at -1.7*,,, you can always set it back after you drag the car/ these cars are not set up for dragging & factory arms will not let you get to (0)
Also remember; when you adjust your camber more +(outwards) it will give you more +(inward) toe.

Hum.. so what I'm reading and understanding is I should get me some drags, and camber arms to set the rears to 0. This should greatly help lay it all down w/little to no change to my ability to corner?

Nobody said it would affect your cornering ability; you added that.

You want to go fast in straight line 0 camber in the rear, you want to corner...camber helps!

Thanks for the information, I completely forgot about the computer...always had an old school muscle car so never had to be concerned with keeping the computer happy. Does anyone have a feel to the delta in tire height when problems arise on a 370? How does the problem manifest itsself...ABS come on too soon....fronts lock up?

/Z/

Found this article. My other question is Do I need the Toe bolts with SPL camber arm? I don't think I will be doing the DIY until I get a car lift (which might be never) but want to know in case there is a crazy sale and these parts are practically given away.

Call them up or await for someone who has them; I know that you want to lock the camber bolts to a fixed position & adjust at the arm...not sure if you are purchasing the rear toe arms also. SPL is Premium stuff $$$....they should be able to walk you through what you need.
Mine is still stock & is maxed at -1.7* and this is what a burnout does with 275/40's on back... Notice the inner part.Attachment 109762

anyone running a 285/35/19 rear and a 255/40/19 up front? i'm trying to get an idea of how that would look

I have front/rear SPL camber arms and did not need toe bolts.

This is almost the OEM Nismo specs except front is 245/40/19

Im just wondering if the front would look too tall

Go to [official]370z wheel fitment guide (pics/specs) only
There is a blue one with that size on 20's
Post #31 , so they would be 1" taller than the 19's Attachment 109836

alright, one more for you guys. after a lot of back and forth i´d decided to go 20x12 in the rear, however, after coming to that conclusion I decided to switch my suspension setup for a true-type coilover.

i know after reading Rusty´s comments as well as discussing it a bit with him that this will limit the width of tire I can go with. So long dreams of 345s in the back :crying:

at any rate, i suppose my question is, should i not only give up the idea of runing 345s but also that of running 12s. Is anyone running 12s in the rear with true type? should i go down to 11s and stick with a 305 in the rear? i think this is the safe bet, but that´s no fun, hahaha.

i don´t want extreme camber or too much poke, so that´s what makes the problem more interesting.

as always thanks for the help and comments.

You could still run 12's with 325's. Think you would have room with a true coilover.

Not sure about coil over clearance/ but measuring my base : with 18" wheels & -1.75 camber....looks like my pinch point is gonna be the traction/ trailing arms(closer on rt.) 3" backspace everywhere else...snug at filler cap.
I like them 345's on 12's, but my plans were to stand the tires more upright & that gap at traction arm will get closer??? Won't know until I put on SPL camber arms & set it up.

yea, i guess i could wait til i have the suspension together and measure everything to see how much room i am playing with. i am just impatient and want to buy my wheels and tires. i guess i´ve waited this long, i can wait a few more weeks.

Anyone running a 265 40 19 on a stock ride? I'm looking to run the Goodyear G2 265/40 and 325/30 on nismo wheels

Will these fit or any issue?
Front: 19x9.5"+12 255/35/19
Rear: 19x10.5"+12 305/30/19.

Thanks

The problem I see with your combination is the front isn't a run flat, and the rear is. That's the only way they come in those sizes from looking at the tirerack charts. Also the tires are asymmetric/directional.

The directional doesn't bother me, I've never cats for run flats I'm just worried about the fronts fitting to be honest. I'll probably run the g2 on the rear and the extra kumho xs I have up front

The fronts are doable, but might cause you some rubbing. Look up carlitos_370z. I know he was running that size offset wheel on the front and it worked pretty well for him. not sure what camber he was running though.

:iagree: Bro! like you said it work perfect on my Z and I use my car daily... i have camber for sure... but is nothing crazy... but to be honest i dont remember my alignment specs :wtf2:

Ok guys so I am a complete noob when it comes to wheels, I know the basics about sizes and offsets and what not but I am wondering if these will fit my Z. I have a 2014 base 370z.

Front: 18x8.5 5x114.3 offset 25 OR 35 (Don't know which is better)

Rear: 18x8.5 5x114.3 offset 35

or

18x10 5x114.3 offset 25

Forgot to add these will go on my OEM base tires!

I will chose 18x10 rear man... or if you want to run square setup i will look for 18x9 o more ;)

Sweet thanks man I will probably go with 18x10 on rear, would you recommend spacers as well since the offset on OEM is +45, if I remember correctly, and on these its 25?

OH JK. Offset is +15 on rear lol. 45 is on front. I should be good with this info.

no problem bro! well you dont need to run spacers on the rear with that offset ;)

What size/concave
 

Ok so I want 18 and I believe I want 11s in the back and 10s in front. I would like to do semi concave/f deep concave/r or deep concave/f and super deep/r

I would like to keep stock camber and probably going to stay stock height, I might possibly drop 1 in in the future but no more. What offset would I need and what would be the best tire size?

offset for front would be around +31(+ or - 1,2)
offset for rear would be +19(+ or - 1,2)
these will sit close to flush/ seller should know & would be great to test fit some.

What Brand Tire? & do you want stock diameter or close to it?

Haven't researched that far yet. My came with Michelin pilot ss and they seem to stick really well when they are new. Not so sticky now though. Any suggestions. It's my daily. Might see a track day once a year but not much until I make more money. I do some dig racing with some local guys.

Not Quite sure what Dig racing is (maybe drag racing?) but some people on the forum swear by the bridgestone re11's, it's just gonna be hard to find a daily driver tire in the 18"wheel diameter to fully fit those 11' wheels.
Also; if it is drag racing/ that wide of a front wheel & tire will slow you down.
Look over that PM i sent you & it will give you some additional ideas.
Mine is not a daily driver/but i know all about the finance issues...lol

What wheels & tires are on your Z now?

Dig drag same thing. I was thinking that might be too wide. Prob go 9f/10r to save on tire prices. Stock wheels and Mich pilot ss

19x10 -6 Front 19x12 -6 Rear
 

Wondering if 245/30 will fit the fronts and 285/30 the rears? idk if 285/35 would be better for the rears.... Gonna have to camber and pull as well. Going for the thin tire look but also want to avoid as much stretching as possible

Have a pic with them on the car?

alright guys...

i just pulled the trigger on a set of forgestar f14s in
20x9.5 +20 and 20x11 +15 with PSP in 265/35 and 305/30.

i´ve done a ton of research and you guys have helped me through a bunch of questions. so i feel relatively confident this will fit.

the plan is to run 2-2.5* camber front and 1.5-2* rear.

so final question. should i have gone more conservative on the offsets? particularly in the front?

The "Will it fit?" thread
 

I had exact same set up, but on 19"s and 255 in front. I ran 1.5 in front and 2 in the rear to give kind of an idea. I'll try and find my alignment print out for you!

much appreciated. my primary concern is the added diameter from going 20"

it´s a 27.3" diameter on the 20" wheel vs 26.3" on the 19"

i´d still love to see your alignment specs.
