Im going to go for 275/305 because look at this pic its just awesome!

The 275 & 305 will look fantastic and fit perfectly, the Z34 has a bit more room for tire fitment with some running 325 in the rear. :driving:

Thank you man! I can't tell you how excited I am for these wheels! :happydance:

I put Nismo wheels on my 2013 Sport Touring. I think these wheels have the perfect dimensions so I am looking for another set of wheels with the same dimensions. I will be running the NISMO's as my summer set. And currently have the stock Sport wheels on with Blizzaks (the offsets on the Stocks are short by quite a bit for my tastes). I would like to have another (different) set with the same dimensions as the NISMO'S.
Any one else running a set of wheels with the same dimensions (or real close)
F: 19x9.5. Offset 40 mm
R: 19x10.5. Offset 23 mm

Please let me know, the more options the better

invader19 01-25-2013 03:21 PM

I know these would fit, but looking to hear how this would look without spacers.

19x8.5 Rear 19x9.5 ET28

SS_Firehawk 01-25-2013 03:34 PM

Not very good. Wheels will be swallowed whole by the wheel well.

Damn, what do you suggest spacer wise?

EastBayZed 02-03-2013 10:32 PM

Hey fellas new to the forum, looking into 20X10 et22 (front) and 20X11 et9 (rear), tires sizes I want to run are 255 or 265/35 front and 305/30 rear. I will be on coilovers and I am wondering if everything will tuck in, I dont mind a little neg camber. Other question is if I need camber arms in front/rear. I plan on being lowered a good amount. Thanks for the advice/help!

nissan394 02-22-2013 09:40 PM

how would 19x9.5 +12 front 19x11+ 0 look ? I want the front and rear to have the same flush look not one more poked or flush than the other.

bro, ive been researching a lot about fitment and i think that combo will give you a good fit with -1 to -2 camber without tires rubbing fender line.
i might be wrong tho.

ZLife 03-05-2013 06:47 PM

I'm running 19x10 et10 front and 19x11 et-2 rear :) New rears coming in soon 19X11 et-6 super deep concave cant wait

should be fine depending on tire.

i ran 275 on + 27. so a 265 on + 22 is the same thing.
I ran 325 on + 20 so a 305 on a +9 is 1mm further out than mine. With OEM camber and suspension i had no rubbing. but the DW tires i had are a bit rounded slightly. keep that in mind.

ZLife, can you post a pic of your current setup? Possibly a shot that shows a good angle of the rim/tire to fender relation? What kind of camber are you runnng front & rear? I appreciate. your input!

New Shoes & Spacers?
 
Offset Gurus:

The wheels I'm looking at are as followed:

19x9 + 20
19x10.5 +25

or

20x9 +20
20x10.5 +30

Here's my current set-up:

Front: 255/40-19 front with 20mm spacers, camber is -1.5
Rear: 285/35-19 with 25mm spacers, camber is -1.2
OEM 19" Sport Rays
Lowered on TEIN springs with SPC rear camber arms

I'm thinking about going wider tires on the new wheels: 265(255)/35-19 or 20 & 305(295)/30-19 or 20.

I like my current stance and would like to keep it as I'm not into the stretched tire look, so I would appreciate suggestions on spacer and tire size for my two wheel size/offset options.

Ok guys so I'm looking at getting a set of work gnosis gs2 in 19x9.5/11 I've asked a few guys for help with offsets but seem to get a wide variety of answers so I'm hoping to narrow it down. I want to run a 305 in the rear and a 265 up front. I plan to be lowered on Bc and would like to have a little more camber than stock. I've been told I could run a +10 15 or even a 0 in the rear and a a +10 to a +25 upfront so being this is my first set of wheels I'm completely lost.

SS_Firehawk 03-15-2013 03:10 PM

15-22 rears and 18-25 fronts is my safe zone. I would still run it through an offset calc.

TonySlimfast 03-21-2013 05:56 PM

hey guys i will be running 20x9.5 +12 and 20x11 +11 , planning to run 245/35/20 front and 285/30/20 in the back or, will the back need a 10 mm spacer to sit close to the fender? or should i run 245/30 and 305/25..

rAiN 03-22-2013 01:00 AM

how about 19x12 offset -6? what tire size you recommend to run that offset?

Did you ever end up getting those Works you mentioned earlier?
I should be ordering from Vivid tomorrow and im pretty sure ill be going with
19x9.5+15
19x11+10

Now I just gotta figure out the right tires

pfdaxe 03-27-2013 09:27 AM

UPDATE:

Purchased my new wheels and rear tires :happydance:

19x9 +20

19x10.5 +25 w/Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 305/30-19

I think I may not need spacers up front, but will add 10mm or 15mm rear. Thoughts? I like a bit of a poke vs sunken.

Also, still deciding on front tires. I've received some responses stating 255/35, but according to all the tire calcs. I have used, the numbers for a 265/35 appear to look better. Thoughts please?

Zis4me 03-29-2013 09:37 PM

if flush is
19x9.5 +15 255/35/19
19x10.5 +22 285/35/19

with
20x10 +25 255/35/20 (other offset options 40)
20x11 +20 285/30/20 (other offset options 10 and 28)

I will be
front -4mm inside of fender
back +2mm outside of fender

this seem acceptable??

Nah. I really wanted them, but I'm burning through money right now. House is priority currently. I'm going to settle for spacers and maybe a powder coat. Made cut back on suspension upgrades too lol. No coilovers anymore. Sways, Nismo dampers and some lowering springs.

For tires, 265/35/19 fronts and 305/30/19 rears.

Lol yea I hear ya it gets expensive, I already ordered my wheels but I was thinking about going with a 285/30 265/35. I like the idea of running a wide tire like a 305 but I don't want a really chunky looking tire.

would that set up be stretched?

asdfsammich 04-02-2013 12:14 AM

Hey guys.

Can anyone confirm if 265 on 9.5 and 305 on 11 would give a straight sidewall look?

I'm pretty certain it won't be stretched but also want to confirm that it won't be the opposite (bulged). I want a flat look.

Wheels are Work Kiwami and tires I'm looking at are Advan AD08 if that makes a difference.


Tapatalk2 ...

03Z33 04-02-2013 10:51 AM

Will be bulged. 245 front and 285 rear for normal non stretched look.

Depends on the tire. I've had 245/40 & 255/40 on my 9" wide Rays and looked a bit stretched. Also, I've had 275/35 & 285/35 on the rear 10" wide rays and they looked a bit stretched to me. You should be fine with those sizes. I currently have 305/30 on 10.5" and they some bulge and will be putting 265/35 on 9" front to match the rear (slight buldge). All were Michelin Pilot Sport PS2.

He is planning on Work Kiwami rims. 265's and 305's won't bulge. There isn't really a noticeable bulge on a stock SP rim

03Z33 04-02-2013 02:19 PM

PS2 run narrow
AD08 run wide

Correct, which further proves the point that 305 is too wide of a tire. If the PS2 is super wide, then you can imagine how the AD08 which is even wider would look.

Thanks for all the info guys.

That pic with 305 on 10.5 isn't all that bulgy I think I'll be good.

Even if it bulges a bit on 11s cuz AD08s are thick, i'll be good, since I'll get an even 26.3 diameter front and back.

Kayzee 04-10-2013 01:59 PM

A little help please,

Front 20X10 +15
Rear 20X11 +15

I am lowered on swifts.

a) Does this clear the sport brakes?
b) If no, what size spacer do I need to use to make it clear?
c) what size spacer would i need to make it flush? For both rear and front.
d) what size tire would work well? I hate the beefy look and prefer a low profile... So a little bit of stretch.



Thanks a lot for the input guys

Not sure what you are looking for, but in general, absolutely.
