you will need at least 15mm for the front and 5mm on the rears should work just fine

hubcentric spacers are the way to go. i recommend project kics and h&r. a few vendors here have them. you can PM 370Ztune, vividracing, kamispeed or fbnissan.

Thanks again bro, with those spacers it would have a good flusch look id imagine or i can go 5mm more on front and rear. seeing that it will be close to stock offsets with 15 and 5.

sure, either way you still have plenty of brake clearance. glad i could help :tup:

khan7860 02-07-2012 09:57 PM

Alright i have question and im sure to get good answers on here. looking at TiRm wheels 19x9 front +35 19x10 rear +25. Now, by reading through these posts this setup is going to look shitty. Im looking for a flush look. I have sport package wheels which is 19x9 front +47 and 19x10 rear +30 on the car now, stock. I would need spacers i would imagine for the new wheels. If so what size spacers for a flush look? Now Iwan you clarified this earlier but I just needed a little bit more before i hit that buy button

bullitt5897 02-08-2012 12:09 AM

front 10mm would work
Rear 20mm would work

whoLEEoh 02-16-2012 08:42 PM

Would a 20x9.5 +5 fit the front?

bullitt5897 02-16-2012 09:13 PM

Not without stretching or pulled fenders or neg camber.

Robert_K 02-18-2012 06:59 AM

Bullitt: Do you have info on the Z33, 350Z?

Ni55anPat 02-20-2012 11:42 PM

20x10.5 front. -5 offset. ...anybody?

that'll fit. with major camber works and fender rolling

FuszNissan 02-21-2012 10:16 AM

So can you put on 15mm spacers on the front with aftermarket wheels, or will you run into the same problem with the OEM studs being to long?

Sh0velMan 03-01-2012 10:10 PM

Guys, with my setup (sig) is a 19x8.5 +22 ever going to have any issues at all?

Meaning under hard braking and cornering..

Thanks!

Hello!

I'm currently looking for wheels for my 370z and frankly i'm a complete noob when it come to offsets. My plan is to eventually lower the car maybe 1"-1.5" drop. I am currently Looking at Forgestar F14s in gloss black

Deep Concave
19"
19x10 +22
19x11 +23

Will this set-up be "FLUSH" Will i need to run spacers in the Rears? And What tire sizes would i be able to fit in these without having any issues?

Thanks in Advance!

Front prob 255/265
Rear I'd run a 20mm and stick a 305 tire

Hey guys, new here. I'm trying to help my friend out with fitment on his 370z. Only issue is i cannot find the offset for his wheels. TSW Jarama 20x8.5(F) 245/35 20x10(R) 275/30 However i am unable to find the offset on tsw's website.
He wants spacers and i am having a hard time explaining wheel offset and fitment to him. Him simply thinks you can throw a 25mm spacer on the rear and it will be the same as a 25mm spacer on stock wheels.
Also he is planning on getting lowering springs

And one of my car for fun

03Z33 05-31-2012 02:34 PM

TSW Jarama come in the following offsets:

20x8.5 5x114.3 +20 or +40
20x10.0 5x114.3 +25 or +40

Based on the pictures, my guess would be he has the +20 front and +25 rear.

Depending on how low he's going and how he wants the wheels to fit, he can go anywhere from 10mm - 25mm spacer front and 15mm - 30mm rear.

TerribleONE 05-31-2012 02:45 PM

Even those offsets would be pushed in a bit... I would do +20/+25 and get some spacers...

mdxj 06-02-2012 04:01 PM

I am looking at running either a 265 or 275 tire up front with a 295 or 305 rear. I am looking at Enkie NT30+M's in 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear. The 9.5's come in 27,40 and 55mm offsets with the 10.5 only in 30mm. I know someone who is running 10.5's all around for the track but I dont want to do anything too extreme to my suspension right now. I am stock height but can do camber arms if needed. I know the Nismo wheels come in 19x9.5 40 for the front but will a 275 tire rub with stock suspension? I also have a feeling that the 305 rear may look odd with a 30mm offset but I am not sure.

Blue Z34 06-22-2012 02:04 PM

I'm looking at getting the VarrsToen 1.1.3s. They only come in 20X10 or 20X11s. I want the wheels to look flush; what offset would I need to run if I'm lowered on the Tein S.Tech springs? (about one inch or so) I prefer not to have to purchase spacers and I will not roll the fenders.

My options are:
20x10+15
20x11+15
20x10+35
20x11+35

i run a 275 on a 20x10 +27. oem camber arm and loweredhalf an inch. so a 9.5 +27 with a 275 is the same thing. never rubbed.

Noob question
 
Hey guys, another "will it fit" question or perhaps, "is it the same". I'm rocking
Nismo wheels with 19x9.5+40(+15mm Spacer)F and 19x10.5+23(+10mm Spacer)R;
they are equiped with RE-11 265/35/19F and 305/30/19R and right now they are
right below the fender, just exactly flush and not rubbing.

Here is my question, if I get wheels that's 19x9.5+22F and 19x10.5+12R, "will it fit"
or mainly, will i get the same results in terms of exactly flush like my nismo wheels
and not extruding the fender? And will it perhaps rub? I'm dropped on H&R springs
with SPC camber kits, close to OEM camber right now.

If it helps, I'm "thinking" of getting >insert legit forged wheels< in Matte Black on those sizes
and offsets. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

You lost me when you mentioned Varrstoen. :shakes head:

:roflpuke2: hey I said "thinking". But after spending a few minutes of researching,
I'm holding back. But back to the question (if it was not varrstoen), if I was to
get Volk or Works or any legit forged wheels, will that offset work?

I couldn't find wheels I like. Most I've seen so far
on that site are good looking for muscle cars.

Use the calculator to figure out what wheel/tires sizes/offsets you want. :tup:

I'm going for positive offsets all around because I need more traction for my turbo

F 19 x 10 +45
R 19 x 11 +28

Question...Flush is not the primary goal but a beafy tire is. What would I need to run if I wanted a 295 Front and 305 Rear? Would it be possible with the setup mentioned above?

Note: Swift springs...camber arms in rear. Possible Koni shocks eventually. I want to run a square setup but I don't think I can get that big of a tire up front. Also, camber would need to be streetable for now until I buy a daily driver.

bullitt5897 08-06-2012 01:08 PM

Why would you want to run a 295 up front? I have over 1000rwhp and I dont even run that big up front.

I believe our goals are completely different and no disrespect implied but just because you don't do it with 1000rwHP (jealous lol) does not mean its right. I hardly think 1000rwHP is right on a road course let alone an autocross LMAO...But it would be a blast! I ran 275/35/18's in a square setup on my old Rx8 and it killed in autocross on a car with much less power than the Z.

While I am not going square with this setup I am trying to stay close to it. Eventually I may buy 2 rims that will allow me to stay square so I can autocross and road course. In other words just swap the rears...staggered on the street and square on the track.

The Z has far more weight in front in compareson to my old Rx8...I can feel the lack of traction up front when pushing this car in stock form. It obviously needs more negative camber up front but a bigger tire would work wonders also.

The reason I ask is that under stock or near stock power levels the more rubber up front i.e. 295+ your going to run into under steering problems especially if you don't add more aggressive camber to allow you to fully utilize the 295 series tire while turning. I have seen aggressive setups like you are wanting but most of them run 275's up front and run almost -3* of camber as well. The most aggressive I have seen was a 285 square setup... I would recommend max 285 up front even at this width your going to add a lot more rotational mass and very possibly over-cook your brakes...

Well, the way I see it we need more grip up front. I figured a 295 would definatly help in that regard. I dont know about running -3 camber up front cause that would not be very streetable but I will run a more aggresive camber profile overall on the car. As far as overcooking the breaks never thought of that but that increase in mass could be offset by a good set of light weight wheels.

My question is then do we know for sure that using a larger tire upfront causes issues? Has anyone had issues with this? In other words do we have any data that would imply a slightly smaller tire is better? ETC? You mentioned someone with a 285 tire upfront...What issues did they have with going with a bigger tire?

The only thing I could think of is if we use too big of a tire (anywhere) it will take more effort to move the car but no one seems to complain when we see someone put a 315 tire in the back lol! At the end of the day I would rather the car by slightly tale happy then for the front end to push into a corner.

I do welcome all recommendations I just like to argue lmao! :tiphat:

Perchi 08-08-2012 11:39 AM

maybe i need to look better on the forum but all that i readed already is not helped me(

so dear Z-brothers help me plz if u can))

I have touring/sport package 09' Z & before wheels I will set a AirLift so my Z will be dropped how i want (to the ground %))

i want to order Rotiform wheels 3 piece

question is offsets of wheels & tire specs for:

20x10,5 ?mm front
20x12 ?mm rear

what i want:
1) little "hellaflush" stance or just "flush" with stretched tires ofcourse
3) BIG LIP on the rear wheels
like...
