Default why it pokes, i do not know.

I bout 2 extra rear base enkei wheels to be installed in the front for a square setup. Following the examples in "[Official] 370z wheel fitment guide" and "will it fit" threads i thought i go ahead and do a square setup of 18x9+15 with 265/40s on all 4.

front wheel/tire setups i've found in mentioned threads:
Enkei RPF1 - F1 Silver F:18x9.5 +15 R:18x10.5 +15
Bridgestone RE-11 F:265/35R18 R:275/35R18
link to thread post

My desired setup:
Enkei base 370z wheels 18x9 +15 with pirelli p zero 265/40/18 on all 4 corners.

So, with that information i went and bought the base rear wheels to be mounted in front.

Now that i have them installed, they are poking and rubbing at front. where did i go wrong?

reference pic of my wheel setup
front left

front right


Looking into fender rolling. don't care about poke. I just dont like when tires rubbing to fenders and etc... Thoughts and opinions please.

The 265/40's are about 1" taller than the 265/35's you said was on the other Z,
Also you will probably need to get adjustable control arms up front & lean those wheels in some...that will lessen the poke.

Thanks for the reply. I did more reading into fitment.. like you mention i could add camber to tuck it in..

So, which brings me to these two choices;
1) i get it rolled like i said before or 2) i go for the alignment rout and mess with camber. Which one would be the best rout?


Side note:
the Z is my DD with occasional track time (~3-6 events/year) and a lot of late night spirited driving. the goal: eliminate rub (don't care much bout poke; i do understand no poke=no rub)

Some people add lowering springs & don't buy front upper control arms (fuca's) and the negative camber lies within specs....pending on which springs you get.

Are lowered or at stock height? If you are lowe then you could increase your ride height as well. Rolling the bumper will eliminate the rub but it won't help at all with getting proper camber.

Unsure if you ran spacers on your base 18x8's,,,but the outer lip's on the base 9's sits just over 40mm (1.6") further out.

Im on stock everything (toe, caster and camber alignments, suspension height, and suspension hardware) and no spacers.

Im shocked that messing with tire size would take me out the sweet spot what stock fenders can fit. I figured since it was same wheel specs it would tuck fine even if i chose to go with a size taller tires. I honestly thought i have more tolerance if i only missed the tire size by 1 up. FML

a side note. Since my z will be mostly street i only plan to switch to nismo tune suspension and the adjustable alignment kit. But going full coilovers is still a maybe.

Yeah, you should follow what jc said or you need smaller tires. The deal is once you start messing with your suspension it can get costly. You will be looking at about $1200 for spl rear camber arms and front a arms. It is a good investment if you don't want to buy tires every six months!

Yep; those offsets can end up being a huge costly error for some; as be glad you didn't drop thousands on wheels (as I've seen others do) & realize it will take another 2-3k to make everything fit & then will occasionally rub,scrape or wear out the inner part of tires prematurely....confirm what you read on these threads; as all information posted about someone's setup,,,may not be exactly as worded.
Just ask "Rusty" & how many times I messaged him about those HUGE 345's on 19x12's before I ordered mine.
People will help lend a hand w/specs on different things; but you also Learn more when you make a slight mistake/ than when you do it right...

Trying to get the right offsets first try on a 4K+ worth of wheels is stressful. It took me over 4 months of going back and forth, double checking everything 10 times. I have 3 more months to wait to see if I got it right.

I had no worries when I got my Forgelines. I went through Eric at GetYourWheels. It did feel like it took forever tho.

pumpgas89,
Unsure if you would consider going 19's, As 4-19x9 Sport fronts or 4-19x9.5 Nismo fronts w/spacers (if desired & as needed) would be the least likely to rub.
Some guy's on here are running 4-19x10 Sport rears.
I like the 5spoke base wheels myself; as mine came with them...245/45,275/40/18 was a good fitment w/20mm spacers up front & 5mm out back.
Also-post a side picture of your Z, as I'm trying to look up the specs on those Pirelli tires you have & can't seem to find them by that size.
