The "Will it fit?" thread

KaienZ34 · 04-22-2010, 04:37 PM

Hello all I've got this setup now wheels are VOLK GT-30 In Formula Silver Front - 20X9.5+35 Tires Toyo T1R 255/30/20 - Rear - 20X10.5 +10 Tires Toyo T1R 305/25/20 I was just wanting to get more sidewall on the rear and maybe wider, mostly wanting more sidewall what sizes would be right. The 370 is stock height with the sport pgk, thanks again for your time...

Kaien, your set-up is so different from what I would run that it is hard for me to comment from my limited knowledge. I hope someone else chimes in to help you.

EVERYONE: I still see thread after thread popping up one-at-a-time in the Wheels section, but all are in one way or another about, "Will it fit?" Let's spread the word and get more people who really know something (unlike me) contributing answers to posters' questions here.

No problem fellas! I am currently at the point of pushing the envelope with what our cars can take. Now I have posted in many threads what I believe to be a good standard if you want an aggressive fitment. These fitments will only require some slight camber increase in the rear. This has it's + and -. By adding camber you will allow the car to corner better than stock. however you increase tire wear and increase rear end instability. But there is a fix called adjusting your toe. By adjusting the toe inward inthe rear (kinda like pointing your toes together) slightly you will regain tire life and keep rear end stability with the added benefits of the added camber. Now each persons setup and likes and dislikes will be different. I will be more than happy to help with suspension questions as well.

This is great knowledge for me... Is it only ness to adjust the toe for tires 295 and up in the rear? I plan on ordering maybe 285s to have it flush.. But I would like all of the wheel to hug the floor for a squared look

370z TT · 05-08-2010, 09:08 AM

What would be the best tire for the track and what size would it need to be to provide the most traction?

bullitt5897 · 05-08-2010, 09:36 AM

That is really going to depend on sooo many different variables! That's like saying which gun is the best for hunting... The only good answer is it depends.

370z TT · 05-08-2010, 09:55 AM

Say if you were going to do road racing in dry conditions

rebe945 · 02-01-2012, 08:40 AM

Can you help me? I have a stock setup in 18s. 18x8 and 18 x9 with 225/50 frt and 245/45 rear. I like the Forgestars f-14s but the sizeis 18x8.5 and 18x9.5, also a 18x9 available. Would this go. How would the stretch look. Bad, good or ugly?. Offsets are26 frt and 26 rear with the 9.5 and 20 with the 18x9. Otherwise i may just go with 19s. Thanks

the brake clearance shrinks a little. i'll just do 19 if i were you

Will the OEM sport wheels directly transfer over to the base car with the correct OEM offset look, as well as re-using the base wheel lug nuts?

Thanks!

bullitt5897 · 05-08-2010, 10:56 AM

Ok let's see here:

I am going to make a few assumptions for you.

Say your running a 9.5" and 10.5" combo. I would run toyo R888 255/265 up front and 295/305 rear. This would I think be an ideal track setup on 19's or 18's

I agree. Excellent recommendation for dry-track racing.

ZBW39 · 06-12-2010, 12:55 AM

bullitt, what offset is good for the setup you recommended?
thanks
