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

[Juruki]

Im about to take delivery on a set of wheels which specs are:
20 x 10 +21
20 x 11 +11
Will front and rear match in terms of aggressiveness? Im worrying that i might need a spacer in the rear after reading through this thread :P


Edit: What tire sizes should i use?

using the sport package stock stance as a reference, your outer position of your front wheel will stick out by 39mm further than stock (you will also have 13mm MORE inner clearance)
the rears: the outer position will extend out an extra 32mm further than stock with 6mm MORE inner clearance)

sport package wheels are 9" +47mm / 10" +30mm. using the site below, you can compare the offset and sizes of the sport package wheels to anything you're thinking of doing

If your up to it Juruki I would recommend a 5mm-10mm spacer in the rear, You can run 255 up front and 305 in the rear.

Juruki's rear wheel at 11" +11mm has the same outer position as my 10.5+5 and you are recommending a spacer? guess that means i am safe from rubbing issues with my 10.5+5 if i run a 285/295 in the back

[bullitt5897]

Ohhh yeah ur safe!

[Juruki]

thx for the quick help!
So 255/35/20f and 305/30/20r
or 255/30/20f and 305/25/20?

this thread just helped me a ton... with my rear camber kit I'm now pretty sure I can order the 10mm spacer for the rear on the new wheels I am getting that are:

19x9.5 +17
19x10.5 +18

Going with 245/40/19 up front and this sits very flush if not a "smidge" more than I'd like and 10mm in rear should even out the wheels so it looks like it should.. 10mm spacer essentially turning the offset to +8 on a 19x9.5 or 5mm spacer to +13 ... 275/35/19 in the rear... buying them with 285/40 and 255/40 but taking them off because tires are mis matched and I have a brand new set of stock size nt05's

The tires will be a little strestched for now until I buy the next set but should help with fittment and me getting an idea of what will fit with and without camber adjustments.

Can you take some pics of the setup on the car? I considering a set of 18x9.5 +15 & 18x10.5 +15, just concerned about the front's being a bit too aggressive. Planning on 255/45/18 & 275/40/18 tires.

Bullitt thanks for post #10. I was wanting to save that info (offset on the stock NISMO wheels) for down the road when I can afford wheels. That way I can do some measuring too. I subscribed so don't break the link haha, who knows when I'll have the extra $$.

I don't mean to derail and I won't be cause I dont have more info but a friend at Mackin told me there will be 19x12's on the TE37 for the Z (I'm thinking rears obviously) with mean face profile Lets hope a protoype is available for showing at SEMA.

Im about to put Advan RS-D in following sizes
20 x 10 +25
20 x 10.5 +20

Wanted to know about tyres, would I have issues with running the following setup
275/30/20
305/25/20

[bullitt5897]

275 up front will be extremely tough without suspension parts and rolled fenders

The rears should be fine, but that front is REALLY weak and does not match up to your rear at all. Its going to look weird, so I would not do it.
