Wondering tire sizes and camber to run
Go 265/35 - 305/30... I'm running on stock Rays with -1.4 in front & -2.1 in back. Also have camber kits F&R, 15mm/20mm spacers, with Swifts. Just had the tires put on last weekend & had alignment done to exact spec. I hated it, so I had some neg. put back in. I'm right on the line of being out of spec. but still in. Time will tell for wear, she handles way better now. I don't DD the Z so they should last awhile. Hope this helps somehow...

Need to,...? It will look a lot better!
The back will clear, front should. Have you seen the recent pics in Meaty Tire thread of the guy with 345's? He's on stock suspension and 20's... he's clearing. But, his wheels are more offset or stick out more than yours. And I think he's got 5mm spacers on the back.
I'd put spacers on if it were me. I think 15mm on all 4 would look pretty good with 305's. I have about 5mm poke at the top with 20mm spacers. My 2 cents. What tires did you get?

Nice... I wanted RE-11's. But had to go the even cheaper route S-04's. If you decide to go with spacers...The Z1 spacers are nice and from what I found the best for the money. I went with replacement stud type... Post pics when you get em on. BTW, I grew up in Harrisburg, PA.

Yea I wanted pss's again I really liked my last set but I'm in need now lol so re-11s were my second choice regardless of price.

Once they are on I'll see if I feel spacers are the way to go. Ill post pics as well

Harrisburg is about 3-4hours from me depending in how you drive lol

Yes you can fit a 305x35x18 on the rears, no rubbing and no spacers needed.

Sup Guys, Gonna be picking up SSR GTV03 19x9.5+20 (Fronts) & 19x.10.5+15 (Rears).

For the rears I will be going with the 305/30/19 MPSS. But for the fronts I don't know yet. Will 275/35/19 MPSS fit in the front without any issues?

2012 Base 370Z with stock heights.

THANKS!

Guys, hate to have to ask this but my wheels were just stolen the other day. I found somebody local willing to lend me their 350z touring wheels for the time being. I have the sport brakes with 20/25 spacers so I need to confirm it will clear the brakes.

The specs of the 350z touring wheels:
Front
Size: 18x8.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 24.4
Tire: 225/45/18

Rear
Size: 18x8.5
Offset: +33mm
Weight: 25.8
Tire: 245/45/18

Thanks!

If you are planning on lowering it I would stick with 265 unless you like to be out of spec on the camber.

I have a base model that has been upgraded to sport brakes, so if a setup I'm looking at fits on a sport model I should be good right? No difference in the fenders or anything like that between base and sport?

My goal is a reasonably priced wheel setup that is as light as possible, and quite a bit more rubber on the ground than this base model setup. I was originally wanting RPF1s but I'm now thinking Forgestars instead.
So the plan is 18x10 +34 Forgestar F14 all around, based on what "Mike" has posted in another thread.

Tires would be 285/35 Continental Extremecontact DW

Just looking for a sanity check before I go for this.

I am about to order some work wheels, I can specify exact offsets...

I have a 11' touring with sport package.

I am at stock height and will be staying at stock height because of the roads around where I live.

Will these fit and how will these look at stock height? Will it be flush with the top part of fenders width wise? I am not worried about fender gap.

Front - 19x9.5 +33 (255/35/19)

Rear - 19x11 +18 (305/30/19)
