The rears were the ones that I was worried about but from what you have said it seems that it should not be an issue as long as I am not super low or anything.

10.5 +0 you could run a 305 no problem!!! I am running 12 +0 305 with a custom pad height to push mine out further. Metz is running 12 +0 too if I recall with no problems...

When you scrape on big bumps do you mean just the plastic liner or the fender itself?

You should be fine. Also remember my car is pretty low with a 2"+ drop all around...

Now I see how this fits so easily on your car. A 2" drop sucks the wheels in a lot. Most of us have around a 1" drop.

How about some pics? Your setup sounds awesome.

I also have this question as I just found a 2.5" gash from what looks like a knife in the side wall of my rear 19" Ray, but the answer was sent in a pm. I am looking to get the RE 11's in 305/30/19 or 285/35R19 or KDW 2's in 295/35/19. Would I have any fitment issues with any of these if I did a Swift drop? Which would look the most aggressive? Which do you suggest for spirted daily driving (no road course, most likely a few drag days)?

Also I bought the car new and have since put 5500 miles on it with 10-15 runs at a drag strip with minor burnouts. Should I looking at getting 2 new rears or just the one replacement?

I have lots of questions so thank you in advance for any help.

Lots of questions in here lol...

1) which ever tires you choose to get. Get the matching fronts. Also, in my personal choice I would go with the RE-11's... This is from my experience with them and they have always proven themselves.

2) both tires would be good for Daily driving. However, the RE-11's can bridge over into the Drag and Road Course arena with better performance figures.

3) 305's will look more aggressive with or without the drop they are just wider...

4) Please do not mix match tires! You will find out the hard way which side has traction and which side doesnt as your spinning out... I have done that and its not fun. Dont risk it! Stay with one brand/model on all four corners. if you have stock tires get a replacement stock tire simple as that.

I answered your question in your thread go check it out :tup:

sexZness 03-25-2011 06:59 PM

Hi, guys! I'm sure you've answered this a gazillion times but I'm not very educated when it comes to wheel/tire sizing :(

I would like to know what size/offset I would need to get to be able to support 305's (or other aggressive-looking sizes) in the rear... I will be dropped on H&R springs and I'm looking at a set of 20's.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

KaienZ34 03-25-2011 07:30 PM

Check out my album all the info is in there under the pics starts with the 3rd pic. I'm running 20's and 255/30/20..front and 305/25/20..rear, here's the link

sexZness 03-26-2011 04:23 AM

thanks!! that's the exact setup i was looking for! do they ever rub? are you dropped?

ilostmypill 03-26-2011 07:53 AM

dont worry, i have 20x12 -35 and 20x14 -50 and fit just fine. go for it

NISMOFO 03-26-2011 09:41 AM

305s are by no means a tight fit on the 370z. There is plenty of room for more depending on offset, camber, drop.

Good Lord!!! What's your secret?! Please enlighten me, oh wise master! :bowdown:

370z owner 03-26-2011 11:05 AM

ok well im a complete noob haha so let me ask you guys this. looking to buy a set of volk g2 matte blk. which ones should i go for? i was thinking 19's but would 20's fit on a z with ease? also im looking to get new tires and was looking to possibly get wider tires. what should be a good set up for the tires?

i wanna put spacers and also wanna drop the car a little.
if you guys could elaborate on this i will be extremely thankful.

I'm sure but I'm too afraid of going wider and mess it up. I wanna play it semi-safe :tup:

In terms of drop, the H&R's should drop the front by 1.3" and the rear by just 1" so it's not a huge drop...

No rubbing, and no drop, stock ride height.:tiphat:

The amount of camber you'll have from a drop like that will suck the wheels in quite a bit...like a lot. Especially the front.

I just realized who I was replying too! Lol....yeah you've seen my car...there is plenty of room. Only difference now is I changed my rear camber from -1.2 back to a stock -1.6. 305s ain't no thing on these cars...they are just a smaller diameter than stock which I don't like.

20"s will fit...no problem. Depending on the width of your wheels, you can fit up to a 275mm tire up front and probably a 325mm tire in the rear, although I've seen a picture of a 345mm rear tire on a 370Z. A 305mm rear tire seems to be the most popular.

Yup It's me!!! :hello: I remember your car... vaguely lol
With a drop like mind, how wide do you think I could go? I'm trying to go as wide as possible without using spacers

ok wow thats pretty wide for sure but what about dropping the car would it be possible with 275 front and 305 or 325 rear? wont rub or anything would it?

It depends on the width/offets you get on the wheels and also how aggressive of a drop you go with. Post up some mofre details of the exact size/wheels you are interested in and what you plan on lowering your car with and I'm sure one of us here can help you.

Calvin 04-13-2011 04:16 AM

Currently -2 camber in front and -2.3 in the rear I believe,

Does anyone know whether these specs would fit??
20x10.5 +5 FRONT
20x11.5 +0 REAR
with stretched tires of course

JunoonX 04-17-2011 04:16 PM

Hey guys, looking for some advice here. I have a 2009, PG 370z 6MT. Interested in the following wheel & tire pkg that I picked from getyourwheels.com:

Wheels (staggered fitment):
- 20x9 5x114.3 ET20 Axis Wheels Axis Angle Matte Black - Front
- 20x10 5x114.3 ET25 Axis Wheels Axis Angle Matte Black - Rear

Tires:
- 255/35/20 Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110
- 285/30/20 Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110

I have two questions:

- "Will it fit" (can I go bigger on the tires?)
- Is there a better deal on these wheels and tire pkg? (I know it deviates from the primary topic, but anything would help before I drop $2300...)

Thanks in advance for any help!

haha thanks bro
My friend and I pretty much figured it out the other day with an even more aggressive fitment =)haha

ryann.mendoza 04-21-2011 08:06 PM

hello.
2010 370z with sports package.

SSR type-C
19x9.5 +22 front
19x10.5 +15 rear
swift spec-R springs

1. will these work to clear the sport brakes?
2. will these work without needing to use camber kit/camber arms?
3. advise what size tires will work to prevent rubbing and needing to mod fenders.

thank you in advance.

ryann.mendoza 04-23-2011 10:35 AM

2. will these work without needing to use camber kit/camber arms? With Swift springs, you won't NEED a camber kit...you will probably be around -2.3 to -2.5 camber
3. advise what size tires will work to prevent rubbing and needing to mod fenders.I think you should be ok with a 255 up front and you can easily do a 305 in the rear
thank you in advance.

See above

ryann.mendoza 04-23-2011 03:16 PM

Thanks 98Intrigue. +1 rep.

What offsets should I be looking for to run 19x9.5front/19x10.5rear without needing for spacers and clear the brakes?

genki370z 04-23-2011 11:22 PM

i have the volk te37 rims with 9.5 with +22 offset front, and 10.5 with +12 rear. im looking at the hankook ventus v12 tires. i was looking at the 255/35/19 and 305/30/19 setup, but i wanted something more aggressive, and i noticed hankook doesnt make a 265 size tire. so my question is will running a 275/35/19 in the front work fine without any rubbing issues? and note im dropped on H&R springs

I have a 275/35/19 tire up front on a 19"x10" +26 dropped on H&R springs and I only rub on big bumps in the road. You should be fine.

nice! thanks alot! :tup:

Hey guys
about to pull the trigger on the following wheels
19x9.5et22 and 19x10.5et12 also installing the swift sports springs which gives the following drop 1.25" front and 1" back. What would be the best tire set up as far as size for performance?
thanks in advance.
