Fitment Question

D-Vicious · 10-06-2010, 09:04 PM

I was interested in buying some rims for my Z, but before I do I wanted to make sure they will fit without rubbing, or what I will need to do to make them not rub.

Bear with me as I just started learning about how the offset, camber, rim size, and wheel size all work together. I cant seem to grasp it yet.

The rims Im looking at are 19x10.5 0 offset in front and 19x11.5 0 offset rear. What size tire will fit and look good?

I'd say that's a pretty aggressive setup in the front. Stretched tires + camber = good to go.

19x10.5 in the front? interesting.

i think that is definintely pushing it

Thanks for the responses. I guess what im really trying to figure out is what rim/tire size is the widest I could safely go (while having a pretty deep lip)? Or could someone point me in the right direction on figuring it out.

I dont think I want to do stretched tires, but im not ruling it out.

19x10.5 0 offset in front and 19x11.5 0 offset rear! That's really aggresive. You are going to be poking out and stretched with those.

Post up a picture of another Z with the look you are going for. This may help us tell you what size to go with.

He must be buying those 360s because that Z in this thread how san antonio shows z love ;) has the exact fitment. That particular person is running 235/30 up front and 275/35 in back asper his reply to a question asked about what tire sizes he was running in said thread.

Haha I was thinking about it, but seeing as I would need to stretch the tires to pull it off maybe not. Does anyone know what the widest rims that can be put on without needing to stretch the tires are? 9.5/10 for the front? 11/11.5 rear?

Mainly I want my wheels to be flush with the fenders, but have a deep lip. Here are two videos of what I want my wheels to look like...and does anyone know what rims those are?
