Hey guys!!!

Quick question before I spend money on something that won't work.

I have been running enkei rpf1s 18x10.5 +15 all around.

I had some 265/35/18 tires on all 4 corners and they are perfect. No rubbing at all. I found a set of Firehawk indy500s for a good price that had a bigger sidewall but should fit fine.

275/40/18 are the tires that I just got put on.

The front rub a little but I wanted to know if I could get away with a little camber in the front or would I have to roll my fenders?

Currently on Swift springs with stock shocks/struts.

Thanks in advance!!

Add some camber and you shouldn't have to roll your fenders. Do you have fuca's.

I have some fucas from z1 but the stocks are on there now. Would I need them on to get the best fitment or would stock be fine for now?

throw the Z1's away

buy the SPL FUCAs

take it to your alignment shop

problem solved

also,just roll your damn fenders

You get what you paid for. The only fucas worth having is the SPL. A lot have made the mistake and bought other arms. Then turned around and bought the SPL's.

If I were to pick up some Forgestar F14 Super Deep Concave in 19x9.5 +15 and 19x11 +15, wrapped in 265/35/19 and 305/30/19 respectively...

Would they fit fine with sport brakes?

Furthermore, would they rub or need modifications on BC Racing BR coilovers, lowered about 1.5" in the front and 1.3" in the rear, with SPL rear camber arms and toe bolts (and as close to factory alignment specs as possible)? Should I raise the car a little bit to prevent rubbing, and if so, how much?

Thanks in advance!

OptionZero 08-10-2019 10:06 AM

Superdeep concave does not clear the akebonos. This is a known flaw with that wheel design, you have to get the regular concave to clear on that specific wheel.. I am not sure how much of a spacer you need to clear. At that point, I think you're going to need camber in front too avoid rubbing

SPL front upper control arms will give you full camber and caster adjustment

Rears should not be a problem at all

OZ - I meant to bring this up earlier in the thread where we were speaking about it but I actually met a Z owner that had 19x10 +22 (I believe that was the offset, I'll double check in a bit) that had SDCs in the front with Akebonos.

OptionZero 08-10-2019 10:36 PM

Are you sure it's SDC?

It was Get Your Wheels that said this a few times- no way for SDC to clear akebonos

Edit:
Apparently there IS a way to fit.

Best fitment is deep concave front and SDC rears. :tup:

I will note that GYW is wrong, 19x10 +0 can be done on stock body, albeit with a bunch of work (camber, stretch, roll)

Of course the poster was asking about 19x9.5 +15. Those won't clear

Enkei PF01 EVO Wheels for Nissan 370Z


Notes: (18x9.5 for the front , 18x10.5 for the rear + 15mm)

Question : Will the +15mm offset fit a BC Racing coilover lowered (to the highest) 370z?

2) and what size tire do you recommend? 225 / 50 F , 245 / 45 R ??

Im really new to tires and wheels and I usually got what it says in the manual.

edit: I was looking for a flushed setup as I dont want the rims to stick out too much as it's illegal here.
to do that , would increasing the offset 'push' it in?

Customer didnt tell me his suspension setup. But it does look to be stock height. So this should give you an idea. But I have sold plenty of wheel setup similar to this and you will be fine with your 1 inch drop. It will be a little inside fender. He also got a set of the Black/Blue center caps and the new Project Kics Monolith lugs from us as well.

With your limitations, throw dreams of "flush" out the window. Or down the toiler, i guess.

+15 is probably going to stick out too much for your parameters. I'd go with something around +25. The higher the offset the further IN the wheel is positioned.


Tire sizes:
F 245/45/18
R 275/40/18
Both are 26.7 inch diameter, which is close to stock.

Picking up a 370Z sport 6MT next month. I already have some new HKS Hypermax IV GT coil-overs that come from factory with a minimal 3/4" drop. Where I live here in N AZ the roads can have some pot holes and speed bumps and I also live in a house with a driveway that has a slightly steep incline so I am not looking for a big drop.

Been doing a lot of research on new wheels/tires and going to go with 19's at 9.5/+25 - 10.5/+12. I was thinking of just going with the Nismo spec tires (245/40, 285/35) but after seeing those pics above maybe the 265/305's might look better with the minimal drop. Don't want the sticking out poke look but I do like the more meaty look.

Opinions?

The Nismo Spec is actually slightly taller in comparison to the 265/305 set up. I run HKS IV and it looks and runs well.

In my opinion that is a perfect drop.

So just to be clear your running the 265/305 combo?

Got any pics from the back or front looking down the side?

What size should I get for the pilot sport 4s? I'm thinking 255/40 front 295/35 rear. Sport Ray's stock suspension.

Hello I have 2010 370z with sport brakes will a 19x9.5 +25mm and 19x10.5 +23 Konig Ampliform rims clear the sport breaks ?

Just in case you don't have this, should answer all questions you may have.

https://tiresize.com/calculator/

In short, the Z can fit pretty beefy wheel/tire combos, however you may want to be careful on width, as you don't have any camber adjustment from the factory. Look into SPL for suspension upgrades....great guys to deal with, amazing support and proven parts that are worth the money!

In case you don't have it, this should help comparing different offset combos...

https://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Whee...et-Calculator#

The factory sport is 19x9 +47 up front and 19x10 +30 rear. Overall these should be fine in clearing the brakes, however that rear fitment won't be that great, particularly if you are lowered or plan on lowering the car.

I’m new to trying to understand offset but I do plan on throwing air suspension and trying to get a tucked looked but keep getting confused by seeing all these different offsets

That link is useless to his question - SPOKE DESIGN dictates brake clearance, not offset. Two wheels of the exact same offset/width may have different clearance. Good wheel mfgs will have a chart that breaks down the difference clearance options for various sizes. Crappy ones have no idea because they haven't tested anything. Call your retailer, or better, the mfg to see if they offer any assistance.

Thanks for providing clarification on my response. The link was for educational purposes, not to provide direction. I guess this wasn't something that had been discussed before....I guess he could have also called the manufacturer or a vendor to discuss this as well, but seeing as there were no responses to his question, I thought to provide a link to provide some insight and maybe get the ball rolling on a potential thought process for another member. Instead I guess I could have come across a little more aggressive and just said, SEARCH?

There are multiple wheel fitment threads, that you NEED to browse through at minimum. You shouldn't be buying anything until you understand offset. It is not that complicated:

The lower the offset, the farther away from the hub (mounting surface) the wheel will set. Offset is usually listed as a value next to a plus sign, like "+22", to denote a 22 offset. Hyper aggressive wheels that poke way out may get to zero or even negative numbers, showing that they are going to by far, far away from the hub.

Simple abstract diagram of the different concepts positive/zero/negative:
https://cdn.pmctire.com/media/pmctire/offset-en-min.png

A more practical demonstration

https://images.customwheeloffset.com...e37-bronze.jpg

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-frqMiULEx5...0/100_5711.JPG

The first picture, the rear wheels are 19x10.5 +12
The second picture, the rear wheels are stock Nismos, 19x10.5 +23

The combination of a lower offset and wider wheel pushes the outter edge of the wheel much closer to fender


IF you intend to go with air suspension, you need to understand that it's gonna cost thousands of dollars. You will need a MUCH more aggressive wheel spec than what you're looking at

Hey guys, looked through this whole thread and a couple others trying to find what size tires would work best with my set up. Main thing to know is that I'm going for street-ability and maybe some track use, so performance only. Not a stance guy.

The wheels I have are 18" rear face enkei GTC01rr's and are 10" up front, 11" in rear.

From what I've read I'm thinking 265 up front and 295 in rear. I know I could probably go a bit wider but I'm not seeing as many options. Just wanted to see what all y'all think before I pull the trigger. I found some good options on tirerack- Michelin PS2 Front: 265/35ZR18 (97Y) XL and Rear: 295/30ZR18 (98Y) XL, but I know there's other spots as well. Any recommendations greatly appreciated!

OptionZero 01-15-2020 05:10 PM

Near universal feedback from the track section is that square or close to square is best. You'll also need to stay close diameter wise f/r. I think you should have researched your tire selection BEFORE buying wheels, since tire and wheel sizing go together.

265/35 is very short - stock is 26.7 in front. That is 25.3 inch. Nearly an inch and a half shorter

295/30 is even shorter - stock is 26.9 in rear. That is 25 inches. Nearly 2 inches shorter.

I'd probably wanna go 265/40 and 295/35

or sell your fronts, put an 18x11 in front and run 275, 285, or 295 square

Go big or go home! 315 30 18 rear and 295 30 18 rear. This is slight stagger but not huge.

You got that right! Also it doesn't make a lot of sense to stretch your tires to much with the larger wheels. Take advantage of the size by maximizing the tire sidewall. Ps2 is a better street tire than track tire. I would make the leap to ps4s or Toyo R888Rs.
