Look at my setup. I run 19x10's up front. It's posted in this section somewhere.

That's 190 pages to look through. It would be quicker if I just drove over and looked at your car. Unfortunately, both of our cars are in the shop. :rofl2:
I did look at an online offset calculator and since the fronts are the same offset and a half inch wider and I'm currently running a 265 , it showed about a half inch closer to the fender. I think they'll be about flush with the 285's.

I'm so old that if I tried looking through all those pages I'd forget what I was looking for before I found it.

Not any more. That was before the alignment. We set the camber to -1.4 front and they are perfect. I have a good bit of the SPL catalog. LOL

What was the front camber before?

It was -1.2 I think. I don't have my old alignment sheets here. They are in the car.

Do you ever plan on lowering your car?

I'll be installing 255's on the front and 325's on the rear and will be about a 1/2" lower than stock ride height. I'd like to have them flush with the wheel well lip. Will I have to run a spacer in the front and how will the rears be with the 325?

Edit: I also could go with a 20x10 +40 offset and 285 front. I wonder if that may be a better choice. I just don't want any poke.
Which wheels are you going to go with? Talk to Jason at getyourwheels. Theyre in Santa Fe Springs. He should have examples off what setup youre looking at.

Jason is not there anymore. I think the new guy I think is named Josh I think. He was very helpful when I bought wheels for my wife's Audi.

Only about a half inch. KW-V3's, SPL fuca's, SPL end links, Hotchkis front bar, SPL rear camber and traction arms.

I'm going with Rohana's again. Getyourwheels (Josh) is who I dealt with last time. Unfortunately, the last set I bought with his recommendation I ended up with poke on the front and I had to return the front wheels which was a pain in the azz. He was good to work with but he recommended the wrong offset.

i guess i have to ask

why are you going with a 3 inch stagger between wheels and 70mm staggered tires?

even if you don't want "poke" (ugh) those fronts are TERRIBLE

Look at the standard TE37 size for fronts, 19x9.5 +22 with a 265/35/19

http://www.the370z.com/members/zero-...40-008-web.jpg

It fits fine! No crazy camber! You have full SPL, you should be running at minimum something like that

is this a freakin' drag racer?

Toyo doesn't have an r888r in 265 20. That's why I'm looking at going with a 10" wheel with a 285 front instead.

OptionZero 05-23-2019 11:34 AM
you can run a 285 in front with a 10.5 +30ish wheel

hell, i think thats what Hotrod runs for track purposes

and if performance is the goal, then you'll WANT negative camber, so you can really fit more aggressive ****

i mean i have a 275/30/20 in front on a 20x11 +15. Going more conservative than that, like a 10.5 +24 could fit a 285 easily

my next set of tires, i'm actually gonna try the 285 on my fronts

What about a 285 on a 10" +40 wheel?

OptionZero 05-23-2019 11:43 AM
Never heard of a wheel that sunken in front, so my concern would be rubbing on the INSIDE

why are you so hung up on these crappy offsets? you have the SPL FUCAs, right? You can run literally anything you want in front

It's like having a lifetime pass to any strip club you want and going to the library instead

We only have 7in of backspacing on the front. It can be an issue. I looked at running a 10.5in wheel at a +32. It was right at 7in of back spacing which is the limit. I am running R888r's with my current wheel choice and on front I run a 285/35/19. Rears are 325/30/19. That is 12.1in of tire tread width, from what I remember, in the back. R888r's are very wide.

Aren't the stock 9.5" Nismo front wheels +40 offset?

I want to go minimum 11.5 rear, not a lot of offset choices out there without going custom.

A 9.5" wheel with a +40 offset is not the same as a 10.0" wheel or a 10.5" wheel with a +40 offset.
Take your time and don't order anything yet. it appears you have a ways to go to get the look you want.
I would suggest talking with Josh at Kamispeed.

I'm definitely taking my time, the car came with fairly new 265 front and 305 rear RE71's on the stock V1 Nismo wheels. Thanks for the tip on Kamispeed.

OptionZero 05-23-2019 12:28 PM
Stock nismo is 9.5 +40
Look at the fitment:
https://img2.carmax.com/img/vehicles/17109736/1/750.jpg

There is a CAVERN of space, which is why the stock fronts are so terrible

I agree. I was hoping the 285 would take up some of that space but if there's going to be rubbing on the inside then I'll have to go another route as the wheels I was looking at only come in the +40 offset front and I don't want to run a spacer.

Custom order and get what you want. That is the only way to do without spacers properly.

OptionZero 05-23-2019 12:56 PM
grab one of those sets of used TE37's in the for sale section
forged
19x9.5 +22/19x10.2 +12 will fit easily
you can fit a 275 in front if you want

I was hoping to find off the shelf but I'll probably have to end up going custom.

I might have to go with 19's as there are a lot more choices out there but I wanted to go with 20's as they would fill in the fender gap being that I have to stay close to stock ride height due to clearance issues in my driveway.

OptionZero 05-23-2019 04:50 PM
if you're using the wheel diameter to fill the wheel gap then you're doing it wrong

get some damn coilovers or air and do it right

From your mod list it is apparent that budget isn't an issue


Why would you dump that much money into your engine and go cheap on suspension?

There's plenty of setups that will achieve better fitment, useability, and performance if you're willing to shell out the money.

Good coilovers and air cups

Hi,

I made a Wheel calculator for cars. The car 370z is available but I don't have web hosting for it. Do you think this forum could host it, or someone on this forum have a website to host it ? Here is a preview image of the calculator for 370z.

If you want to try it, the FRS/BRZ calculator is already hosted here : https://www.ft86motorsports.com/wheelitfit

Thank you.

Fix your driveway dude.... LMAO. I navigate 1/4 mile down a dirt road with a little red clay in the middle. I make it happen on coilovers and lowered.

It's the transition going from the access road into my carport. I can literally get my car high centered if I don't back out at the right angle. Ask me how I know. Nothing I can do about it unless I move and that ain't happening.

OptionZero 05-23-2019 05:54 PM
coilovers + air cups

done

Thought about that but damn, they're expensive. :eek:

You spent the money to put out 650 hp

Spend the money to put it to the ground

and get on your driveway

As long as I stay close to stock ride height I can get in and out just fine and the reason for my post was to try to find a wheel/tire combination to help put it to the ground. Lowering my car isn't going to do that.

OptionZero 05-23-2019 06:21 PM
do you not know what a cup kit is?

Quick question

I've been scouring through the forums and so far it seems like a greenlight, but, I'm currently running 245/45 in the front and 275/40 in the back on my base 18" wheels, and planning on lowering on ARK GT-S springs and running 20mm spacers in the front and 25mm in the back until I buy new wheels down the road. Will it fit?

Thanks in advance!
