The "Will it fit?" thread

AParagon · 08-07-2010, 07:58 PM

Hi All,

I am a complete newby and have spent 3 hours online trying to figure out the answer to this questions but still don't know. I hope a few minutes of your time, will provide the answer.

I just bought a 2010 370Z Base. I understand current rims are 18x8 in front and 18x9 in back with 225/50/18 tires. My research tells me that these rims are 5-114.3

I have no intention to go on the track and have fallen in love with some rims which are 5-114, 18", with recommended Tire Size: 215/40-18 . I found some places online that say the difference between 5-114.3 and 5-114 is minor and so as long as you ensure the lugs are tight, you shouldn't have problems. Questions:

1. Will they fit
2. Any problem having same width wheels of both front and back?
3. What will I need to do to adjust the front or back given that the width will be different than the originals?
4. Would I use the recommended tire size of 215/40-18 for he 370Z or use the original 225/50/18 tires or ?

Thanks SOOooo much in advance. This answer will be very helpful.

The 20" wheels will fit depending on the offsets.

The widest you can go on the stock wheels would be a 245/45/18F and 275/40/18R.

Hello, I recently bought the two front Nitto Invo’s 245/35/19 second-hand off someone and wanted to know if they would fit on the 2015 OEM sport rays.. On websites the recommended is 245/40/19.

Thank you for the help!

Welcome.

Are you running the stock-size tires in the rear - 275/35/19? If so, you're going to have nearly an inch of difference in diameter between the stock rears and the used fronts you bought, which is just over a 3% difference. Potentially, this can cause issues with the traction control and VDC systems.

So I've decided to get the Hankook V12's in 265/35/19 and 285/35/19 for the Sport rims. Would 15mm F and 20mm R spacers work good for this setup? I'm assuming so, but I figured I'd ask before I ordered anything.

Actually it looks like Hankook doesn't have 265/35/19. What would be my next best choice for fronts then? Should I just fall back to the stock 245/40/19 size?

bullitt5897 · 05-18-2010, 08:50 PM

Go for 255's also the spacers will be just fine

flashburn · 05-18-2010, 09:08 PM

255/40 or 255/35?

bullitt5897 · 05-18-2010, 09:22 PM

stick with the same aspect ratio of 35

Yes it will fit and ride just fine. Remember you will feel more of the road.

antman22 · 08-02-2010, 05:17 PM

What is the max set up you can have on the sport rims? Front- 265 or 275? Rear- I'm guessing 305?
