All depends on your use case scenario.

And for the offsets +22 & +15 works for flushyness just have to take into account akebono clearance if need be.

I currently don't have akebonos, just the base brakes. I do plan on upgrading to those, but that's not until far into the future.

Just a quick question more than anything.

Looking to run 18 x 10.5 +15 squared.

Tires sizes is my only concern.

tires im looking at are 275/40/18
should i stagger that sidewall like i see most others do make it 40 front and 35 rear or would 40 all 4 corners be fine ?

Lowered on swifts FYI

Thanks! <3

Figured it out.
thought there was another reason besides the tires over all size of the tire. 275/40/18 will work for all four corners no prob

wheel question: If I decide to purchase a set of forgestar f14 wheels (the polished copper version is calling my name!!) do I need to get longer wheel studs as well, or will the new wheels and lugs be safe on the OEM studs? My Z is a new 2018. I have read that some aftermarket wheels do not allow a safe amount of grab for the lug nuts on the OEM studs and just want to know all that will be needed to use a set of F14's.

I have f14s, did not change studs, but you'll need aftermarket lug nuts as the oem will not fit or sit properly.

I use project kic r40 lug nuts.

Yes...... knew I would need new lug nuts as well, but was just concerned about length of factory stud being sufficiently long enough. I take it you have had no problems using the F14's on the stock studs and had plenty of stud length for the new lug nuts?

Just ordered my works....

9.5" +10 front
11.5" +15 rear

Im expecting around -3 rear camber on 315s

[Boosted Performance]

Hoping for a bit of input. I just picked up a 370z Nismo, and ordered (deposit sent) some wheels. Still trying to nail down the offset....this is what the supplier is looking at:

F 19x9.5 +23 265/35
R 19x11 +18 305/30

Looking at lowering via RS-R coilovers, at about a 1" drop. Wanting to keep camber at rear in the OEM range, but on the higher end (closer to square), as I will be putting a turbo kit on it right away. This of course is for traction purpose.

So, in other words, looking for the "square" look.

Thoughts?

Thank you very much...not my area of expertise, so it is nice to get some input from those that know this much better than I do.

I’m no expert on coilovers or lowering or the amount of clearance on backside of Wheels requiring the coilovers.
But I also ran the more upright camber on my Z,, roughly (-0.8 to -1.0) Front & Rear.
My Wheels are tight on backside w/7” backspace Front & 8” backspacing on rears...very close (finger tip) at all pinch points.
But the front spacing (hub face to outer wheel lip) is 4” on front & 5” on rear’s...your front spacing is just over that at 4.36” & 5.29”...not bad; as you will need more clearance on backside & your tires will be a more square/stretch look than the 285/35,345/30’s I have on 19x10’s,12’s....I’m sure you can dig through this thread or through the [official 370z] wheel fitment thread & find one close to what you’re looking for.
You may want to set your suspension up & then measure up for wheel offsets.
As my goal was to maximize backside & tuck as much underneath fender as possible/ while tuning Wheels more upright.
You’re in the ballpark with what you are posting: it’s just how ocd you’re gonna be with it.
Good Luck & here’s a small pic of mine.

This is what I run. -1.5 for camber on the rear. I could do -1.2 if needed.
the inner fender liners do rub a little. I have some small trimming to do.

^^^^Thank you...yeah, I'v been reading and searching for two days straight. I think I'm at a point where I am just starting to confuse myself even more.

May be time to take a break from offset searching.

Your sizes will fit fine. refer to this post here:

5- Corner balanced on KW V3
6- No spec.

9- Great suspension upgrade and look.

NOTE that a 11 inch wheel +18 is the same outward spacing as a 10.5 +12 so your wheels will sit the same from the outside.


Get some SPL arms and you can fit anything, especially since you aren't aiming to go low. I have a 20x12 +20 wheel with a 315/25/20 tire and approx 2 deg camber. There is room to spare.

The Z has essentially infinite clearance. You would be hard pressed to find something that won't fit if you are willing to do a few small things like a fender roll and suspension arms. (Big things to me are negative offsets, overfenders, and extreme stretch)

Thank you, and yes, that is one of the vehicles (wheel specs) I used to derive some of my decision making. It is the look I am going for.

I have already ordered the SPL gear, so it sounds like I'm well on my way.

Roll those fenders and you are good for anything. Go 325 in back, GTR level

Thanks. No need to roll anything on the NISMO's, but I'll probably have to trim the plastic fender trim on the inside. May just remove the altogether.
