What spacers do I need?

ShoFamous · 04-07-2011, 05:17 PM

I'm getting the enkei LF-10 20" in staggered fitment [20"x8.5" & 20"x9.5"] & I was told 10mm will sit flush with the fenders. Is this correct? Anyone know where I can get a set or have some for sale? Any thoughts on these rims? Thanks!

We would need to determine offset of the wheels first.

I feel you need to do alot of searching here on proper sizing, offsets, and spacers if needed. Those width's you want are awful IMO. Look at other people setup and styles then make a good decsion. Don't rush it. There's so much to take in consideration.

Yeah I'm thinking I should go wider that's why I ask. The stock sport Rays are 9 "& 10" so I wasn't too sure about losing that half inch. I want some really clean looking black rims so feel free to shoot me some ideas.

Offset on these is +40 on both F&R

19x9.5 & 19x10.5 in +22 or below is ideal, the 370z has bigger fenders than most cars and needs something at least that aggressive.

IMO, it's going to be best in your case to go ahead and mount the wheels and tires first, then do a measurement to find out the best fitment for your personal tastes.

Any ideas on a different set of wheels in a black, staggered setup? Not really too happy with the width of theses wheels. I'm looking at around $1500-$2500 price range with tires preferably.

tough at that price range with tires includes on a staggered set of 20's

Your best bet might be some forgestar F14's, check with the vendors on the site.

If you want open up some choices, you can move down to a 19". You can have Varrstoen 2.2.2's in that range, or keep with the forgestar also. TSW and Avant Garde are 2 other choices. Hope that helps a little

I'm not biased to the 19" at all, I just love the look of a full wheelwell & fat tires. I would only be dragging at the strip maybe 3-4 times a year tops so looks with function is what I want most. I really wish these wheels were wider. Love the look but I had 11" on my Cobra so I'm sure in person they will look anemic on the Z.
