I figure the 20X10 will need to be somewhere around the +30 range, but what would a 20X11 or 20X12 need to be? This will be going on a 2011 Nismo dropped on ark springs 1.5"R 1.75"F with stock camber arms. I don't want any crazy negative camber or stretched tires, preferably a meatier set up. I'm more about function than form. Thanks for the info

20x10 front +27 with 275/30/20 continental DW
20x12 rear + 20 with 325/25/20 continental DW

this fit at oem height and camber (eventually lowered the car .5")

if thats meaty enough for you go for it.

since you wanna drop and then adjust camber maybe later on go with a +30 and +23 if you can.

I've read this whole thread and still haven't found the answer to my question. I used the tire and offset calculators and I think I'll be o.k. But I'm still a little unsure.
19x9.5 +35 offset 265/40
19x10.5 +35 offset 295/35
I also have the option of plus +15 offset, I'm on stock suspension and I really don't want to get into any major suspension mods.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance

This is a great little tool to help figure things out.

OK so I'm wanting a set of rays gram lights 57fxx.
The measurements come in at

19x9.5+15
19x11+18

So to speak the front should be 38mm further out and 26mm more inner clearance. And the rear should be 26mm further out and 1 mm less inner clearance?

I'm going to measure tomorrow, anyone run these wheels?

Fronts will stick out way too much ... I just had the 19x9.5 +25 fitted in my car and they were too aggressive, 35 would work much better for the fronts. I can't speak for the rears, but I think they would also stick out too much by about 5mm

Just a quick question, looking at trading wheels with a friend,

18X10 +12 square set up

id like to run 275/40-18

still stock height and I don't think im going to drop the car yet.
is this too aggressive? Thanks in advance for the input.

Here's 19x11 +18 rear. No tire, but the suspension is compressed.

[Zerocool]

so the lower the offset number the more the wheel will stick out?

There are these varrstoen es552 wheels that I'd like to get.

website I'm looking at has them at
F 19x9.5 +22
R 19x10.5 +22


Will that be fine? excuse the ignorance.

I think you'll need 10mm spacers in the back

Ok so I'm getting ready to order the new work emotion c2p wheels and I need some input. First my 370z has bbk's, coilovers and camber arms front and rear and a lot of hp. So what I'm wanting is maximum lip on the rear with widest tire as possible. And decent lip on front. I'm OK with some camber just nothing crazy. I am also willing to stretch the tires some but nothing extreme on this either. The wheels will be 19's also. So what's the best offset to achieve what I'm looking for?

I'm running 19x9.5, +28 in the front with 275/30-19 PSS. Was running 19x12, +25 rear with 325/30-19 PSS's. Perfect fit. Change the rear tires to 345/30-19 PSS's. Same rims. Now they poke some.

Someone please help me decide. I'm ordering Forgestar 18x9.5 front and 18x10 rears. Tires will be 255 40 18 F, and 285 35 18 R. -2.25 camber front and -1.75 rear.

What offset do I need for a flush or close to flush fit??

I've read wildly different numbers. Some guys are saying a +30 for the front will be flush and others are flush at +20. By my rough calculations, it should be closer to +20. For the rears, I figure about a +16??

The only problem with the fronts is that the semi-concave only goes to +26. The don't have anything lower than that. So should I go deep concave in the front and super deep for the rear? Or just stick with +26 in the semi-concave and it should be ok for the front and deep for the rear at +16? Or if I go with 18x9 in the fronts, what offset do I need? Something around a +28?

Help me decide!

For reference, most guys with Volk GTS wheels are running 19x9.5 +17 and 19x10.5 +18. TE37 owners with the same wheel widths and diameters as mentioned, however, run +22 front and +12 rear. For your Forgestar 18x9.5 front and 18x10 rears, I would get between +22 and +15 front, and maybe something as low as +6 in the rear since you intend on running 18x10 wheels.

Hi everyone,

Quick fitment question. I have just received my set of Work Meisters for my 350Z. Clearance is fine with my brembo's, 19x9.5 +24 (R Disk) and 19x10.5 +23 (O Disk). Have heard different stories about the clearance on the 370Z and akebono... brakes are bigger on 370Z?

Any rough fitment advice on whether these could fit the 370Z would be appreciated - will upgrade from the 350Z to 370Z in a few years.

Cheers,

So about to pull the trigger on some new wheels. Advice on my current plans?

Currently Rays w/ stock tires
19x9 +47 (+27 w/ 20mm spacers)
19x10 +30 (+10 w/ 20mm spacers)

Planned CSL Rims
19x9 +30 (+25 w/ 5mm spacers)
19x10.5 +20 (+10 w/ 10mm spacers)

I assume if I want the same stance I currently have that I will need smaller spacers with the new rims, correct? ET 30 front and ET 20 rear would be fairly tucked in, i think… Thoughts?
