The "Will it fit?" thread

Tiny Tokes · 05-30-2013, 01:01 PM

Been scrubbing all the blogs on this for a while now... I have a 2012 Nismo

and just purchased Swift springs and H&R 15mm/20mm for my ride. I have stock rims and tires. Apparently everyone says this is THE setup to have..
I was going to just go 15/15 with no change in springs, but the rebound I was getting on the highway was starting to bug me and my GF a bit. SUPPOSEDLY, this will smooth that out a bit and tighten corner turns a lot.

My only worry is that I live in Michigan and our roads are not like Cali and Florida...

oh well... wish me luck, pics to follow.

Let me know if anyone has the same setup. From what I hear, the ride should be perfect and hopefully I won't rub and/or bottom out!

With or without spacers?

Spacers, but I don't remember what size they were.

I could swear I've seen someone list 325's for the rear, that would be the sh*t !!!

Remember wider isn't necessarily better, unless you need the extra width for.traction ie 500+rwhp. The added cost of those tires wont give you much if any benefit, hell it may even negatively impact your objective. However if you're just going for a certain look knock yourself out. Just be prepared to pay to play, especially if you have to run significant negative camber. Just my friendly 2 cents

I'm thinking about getting 20mm Z1 bolt-on spacers all around and I'm also thinking about going 275/35 or 285/35 square on stock '13 Rays when I need new tires. Does anyone know if I'd have a problem with rubbing anywhere?

Edit: Forgot to add this is on stock suspension with no plans to drop.

Would these fit a 370Z Sport?

Rim Width: FRONT 9.5/ REAR 11
Offset: FRONT +12 / REAR +15

Yep...got a TT on the way. I don't want ANY camber adjustments, just the biggest tires that will fit with the stock Rays with spacers if needed.

my 275 front / 325 rear was 1200 for a set of tires brand new. and they were great. and last a long time.

Also slapped em on OEM suspension and drove off with no camber adjustments or lowering etc needed.

Just have to pick the right setup!

Amused TT · 05-31-2013, 12:27 PM

Anyone able to help me out and tell me if these will fit?

Is this on your Mustang or 370Z with stock Rays?

I've been search the forum off and on all day to try and answer a couple of fitment questions.

I'm considering a set of Varrstoen ES 2.2.2 and I'm lowered on Swifts.

From what I've read, if I got the 9.5 +22 up front, they would not clear my sport brakes. The +12 up front just seems crazy aggressive.

My question is, how much of a spacer would I need up front to clear the sport brake kit? Is a 5mm spacer going to do it?

Secondly, if I get the 10.5 +12 for the rears, how close to flush am I going to end up? Would I be better off running spacers in the back too?

Lastly, are my stock tires going to fit this setup?

Any photos anyone has of a similar setup would also be greatly appreciated!

Stock tires will fit no problem as long as the varrstoens are of course 19's. Spacer wise on the front, I think most people just took vendors advice and got the +12. Its not super aggressive but mild camber will be needed to clear with no issues. +12 on the rear could use a 5mm spacer to be perfect flush but I'm running +12 and its almost flush already. I never realized how heavy those Varrstoens were till just now lol.
