Here you go!

370z offset

Those are the stock specifications. Do some measurements if you can access a 370Z and go from there.

Hope that helped.

Hopefully this info will help. The numbers to follow all should work.

For a 9.5 width front wheel offsets 30-47 should work mid to low 40s being ideal IMO

For a 10.5 width rear wheel offsets 15-24 should work 24 being the least aggressive but probably what I'll use.

Wheel Offset Calculator

^This is a handly little link I came accross and what I used in conjunction with common Volk offsets to draw these conclusions.

OMGWTFBBQ · 02-06-2009, 10:10 AM

Just looking at the numbers you provided above makes me drool. Low offset, high width.

JoeyD · 02-06-2009, 12:51 PM

Keep in mind that these offsets are just a guide. Even when using one of these offsets a specific wheel may have caliper clearance problems. Most distributors allow you to test fit and return as long as no tires are mounted. Until 370Z owners have test fit wheels this would be prudent.

Too bad no 9.5 +22 on the fronts.

love67 · 02-07-2009, 02:24 AM

thanks guys, but will it be ok to use 8.5+36 for the front and 9.5+37 for the rear? because i have a set of volk for this specs and wondering which spacer should i add to it

mvlz · 02-10-2009, 04:25 PM

^The front would be fine but the rear would be sunk. I'd recommend a 15-30mm spacer on the rear. To be honest, I'm pretty dissapointed with the factory wheel specs and the big difference in wheel offset between the front and rear

love67 · 02-11-2009, 02:20 AM

thanks alot!, but do they ever have 30mm spacer? is it safe enough to use 30mm this wide?

mvlz · 02-12-2009, 12:07 AM

bolt-on and hubcentric is what you want, plus some threadlock for extra measure.
