Wheel Offset Discussion Thread... How far can we go?

[Nithmo]

How would 19x9.5 ET22 and 19x10.5 ET20 look, with 265s and 285s, respectively? I feel like the front would be ok, but the rear might need like a 5mm spacer? Thoughts? Should I up the tire size? 275 and 295? 285 and 305? I'd like to keep the bias the same as oem.

I found some TE-37s in the above mentioned size, for $3500, asking. Not sure if I should jump on them, or not.

I'm on stock suspension now, but will look to going with some Ark lowering springs, in due time.

5mm last i looked was less than 1/4"..can 1/4 inch spacer really make a difference in looks.

Fronts are easy. 19x9.5 +22 is the standard TE37 fitment that everyone uses without any work, on 265's

19x10.5 will look like ***. The STOCK NISMO is 19x10.5 +23 with 285/35, so google any stock Nismo and you can see how sunk it is

The standard fitment of TE37 19x10.5 +12 is better, but still sunk a bit

Something like 19x10.5 +0 is what you need to be flush, but then you need more aggressive fronts too and probably m0@r low

Anyways, i would look for a different set that comes in 19x9.5 +22/19x10.5 +12 and throw a small spacer in the rear if you HAVE to go that route. Will work with 265/305

i thinking about getting TSW watkins black 19x9 +20 and 19x10 +25. will the fronts poke out to much?

Ill have more pics after the little photoshoot with a friend in July...but here are a couple I took this evening.

Work XSA04c 20/10" +10 20/11.5" +15. Rear fender measure 26.25" from the ground and the front is just about the same, maybe 26.5".

Camber, Im not sure of just yet. I leave for vacation tomorrow so the alignment wont happen for about 10 days. Obviously not taking the Z. I will be increasing on the front to stop the rubbing and I will probably go to -3 to -3.5 in the rear to possibly toss a 10mm spacer in the rear.

its been a over a year, figured i would dig it up... a lot of great info on this thread. Ive finally narrowed it down the wheel now need to get to the offset. there are 2 options ive seen being ran on multiple 370z's. Right now its stock suspension but i do plan on lowering on springs soon.

19x9.5 22
19x11 15

or

19x9.5 15
19x11 22

[OptionZero]

First option is better

For reference, the stock Nismo rear is 19x10.5 +23 w/ a 285/35 tire.



It is pretty sunk and looks terrible, and will get worse when you lower the car.

The 19x11 +22 is around 7mm better, which is not much better at all. You can go pretty much as low an offset as possible in the rear since there is massive space back there.

Track folks are running 11 or 10.5 inch rears with around +15 offset, so it is certainly functional

Fronts you CAN go much much better but that will require more effort, so a 19x9.5 +22 is safe and easy

When you want to step up your game, you'll be selling the whole set anyways

So I'm looking to pull the trigger on a set of Work T7R 2P. I've read through multiple threads and have a good idea on the spec I'm trying to run. It'll be my first set, so looking for opinions on if it would fit.

19x9.5 +20
19x11 +10
*A Disk (Deep Concave) on both F/R.

I'm sitting on swifts. No plans to go lower anytime soon, or camber arms.

From what I've been reading, seems like the rear is good. I have a base model, so no akebono calipers. I'm thinking the front should have clearance, but unsure.

What do you guys think?

What size tires and how much camber do you currently have?

[sza392]

For Tires, im looking at:

265/35/19
305/30/19

Don't know the camber angles. it's definitely more than stock since installing the springs, but i'd have to get it checked out for an actual number. Unless there's an easy way to check this at home.
