My friend speaking...another question

What about on 19s or on 20s. I know the sujet is delicate but what is the best because I don't want my Z to look like a truck because i'm not lowering it?

What do you mean with this? It's the flushness in the fender but 4inches mabee more 4mm ???
approx (4" [front-spacing] on front & 5" front spacing on rear) (higher offset # 3.75F & 4.75R)

Tks

Backspacing vs Offset.

The inches refer to the former and mm to the latter.

Quote:
Wheel offset and backspace measure the same thing but in a little different way. They tell you where in the wheel well a particular wheel will sit.

Offset is a measurement in millimeters from the backside of the mounting plate to the center line of the wheel. A positive number puts the mounting plate further away from the backside of the rim. A negative measurement moves it closer to the backside. Since offset is based on the center line, the width does factor in. That is to say an 8-inch wide +45mm offset and 7-inch wide +45mm offset results in a 1/2" difference in wheel positioning. The 8-inch wide will be further into the wheel well. To gain a better understanding of the offset of a wheel, read our tech article on this topic.

Backspace measures the distance from the mounting plate to the back edge of the wheel. The higher the backspace the further into the fender well it will sit.

Front spacing is measured from the hub out...if you're driving a nismo, it's worth the effort to try a few different spacers on your wheels to see what you like....28" tires could possibly put you looking more like a truck/if not dropped down a bit.
Good for snow though.
