Thanks for the quick response! :tiphat: Where can I get these spacers with those sizes? Not familiar with spacers and the types of brands. So if you can post a link that would be great!

8.5 for the front seems a bit narrow, most people at least go with 9 or 9.5, do you plan on lowering your car at all? IMO your offsets are a little weak I would go with something a little more aggresive, but that my .02

MZ370Z 04-23-2013 08:54 PM

Thank you for the information...i will look into 9 or 9.5 for the front... I was not planning on lowering, at least not yet...

Hey guys, need some help. Wondering if I will have trouble fitting these specs with sport brakes..

19x10 -6 (high disc clear bbk)
19x11 -1

Not sure about what tire sizes I'd run at the moment.

Thanks in advance!

How wide of a tire can we get on the base oem 18 inch wheels. Through reading this thread i figured out the wheels are 8 and 9 wide. Will 275 40 18 be too big of tire for the stock 18 wheels?

pokeyl 07-14-2013 01:45 PM

After looking over the data, I'm looking at
10.5 +34 ---285/35-19 front
11.5 +35 --- 325/30-19 rear

Anyone running this NOW??

Camber is factor and the car is on HKS hypermax III lower 1.5" all around.

Stock Nismo
275/30-19 on 9.5x19 +25
325/30-19 on 12x19 +28

Thinking on going with the 295/35-19 on a 10.5x19. and 345/30-19 on 12x19. Unless I switch from the Mich PSS, and go with the Mich Sport Cups. :D

Yep. Bone stock Nismo suspension. Not lowered either. :D

I am a total blank as far as wheel offsets go, so after reading a bunch of threads, I still have some questions.

To start with, I am not looking to do anything extreme, just improve the stance slightly.

It seems that the consensus is that to get a nice more or less flush look the following is ideal:

19x9.5 +22 (front)
19x10.5 +12 (rear)

First question would be is how would these numbers be affected with narrower rims. Say 19x9 upfront and 19X10.5 rear?

Second question/comment - I assume the wheel diameter has no effect on width and offset on the stance.

And third - how would these numbers compare to the "ideal":

19x9 +25 (front)
19x10.5 +25 (rear)

I am not sure how the different width effects the stance on the front, but I would guess I need to use a 20 mm in the rear reach "ideal".

Correct me if I am wrong, but the above front wheel would be like running a 15 mm spacer on sport wheels and the rear would look more like the rear Nismo wheel without spacer.

Please set me straight.

Thank you.

Front, 22mm more than stock inside and pushed out 22mm more. Vs the ideal, you lose 3mm inside and go out 9mm more.

Rear, lose 1mm inside and extend 11mm out from stock. Vs the ideal, you gain 13mm inside and go out 2mm more.

You're wrong, its like running a 22mm spacer. The rear im not sure what the nismo has. Play with that calculator awhile and see what will work. What wheel are you talking about that's those sizes?

2 LARGE factors on what's going to get you flush, Camber settings and tire sizes. IF you want rim flush is going to be slightly different then tire flush. I personally am running meaty tires with almost factory camber settings. 275/40/18 on a 10.5 +12 is flush at -1.2 camber settings on the rear. My fronts are a 255/45/18 on a 9.5 +35 and tire is ALMOST flush at -1.5 camber settings. New tires are a 275/35/18 on front and a 295/35/18 on the rears. Fronts will probably be tire flush and rears will probably poke tires a bit but I have SPC arms so I can adjust.

I think camber is one of the least mentioned things when it comes to being flush which is very important. I had a 18x9.5 +35 with a 15mm spacer on front and my tires were chewing fender at -1.7 camber. Yet you see some people saying they squeeze a 19x9.5 +15 on front no problem. Why??? They are running more camber and probably a more narrow tire or a shorter tire.

Gianelle Yerevan Lightweight. They recomend 20x8.5 + 25 in the front and are saying that 20x9.5 + 25 will not work, but I do not see why not.

chrischhorn 07-24-2013 10:37 PM

20x9.5 +25 will be super easy to fit. they are just being super conservative UNLESS their wheel design intereferes with brake caliper clearance.

cooltoy 07-25-2013 08:47 AM

That's what i thought. Thanks.

Thank you.

the front will look like you put on 25mm spacers on the sport 19" front.
the rear would look like, as you said, nismo wheel fit if you run minimum 285/35/19's.

kenchan 07-25-2013 03:07 PM

im not a fan of tire tread being clearly visible from the front. unless one sports a lip, it makes the car look like a tank.

Would that look unbalanced/odd?

Is that too far out up front? If it is not will I need to run a spacer in the back?

too far for me, but if you're lowered it could look okay i suppose. this is all subjective.

most of the time the car looks good from the side or diagnally from the side/rear... but from the dead front, the tire tread sticks out waaaay too much imo.

Xplicit97 08-09-2013 06:59 PM

I posted in another thread but maybe this is a better place for my question. I am interested in going with a 20" staggered set up. I am dropped on Ark springs 1.5" F and 1.25" R with stock camber arms. I am curious what I can go with that will allow me to achieve the following: close to flush (but highly functional), as close to factory camber settings as possible, no rubbing, and a meaty tire setup. im thinking of around a 265/35/20 and a 295 or 305/30/20. Thanks for the info!

cooltoy 08-09-2013 07:33 PM

You are right, I do not like that loo either, but I am thinking the Amuse front, not being rounded at the bottom like stock front, might help out somewhat.

jtgarza3 09-23-2013 09:28 AM

Does any one know if 19x10.5 +25 will fit the front of the Z? and if so what tire size do you recommend?

maximusz 10-17-2013 02:00 AM

Ok guys have some forgestar f14
19x9.5 +20
19x11 + 15

Going to be stock height for awhile but eventually lower

Going to run stock nismo tire sizes until I need new tires

Will it work?

Zwolf81 10-20-2013 10:37 PM

I'm right there with maximusz. I swapped over my 350 wheels (19x10 +15 255/35 up front and 19x10 +15 285/35 out back) and I'm about to buy 19x11 +15 for my back two. I'm lowered on swifts and would like to know if this would work as well and a tire recommendation.

Zwolf81 10-30-2013 10:41 PM

Anybody?

thongthumper 03-01-2014 01:59 PM

Will 20x10 -2 rear, 20x9 +38 front work? 285/25 zr 20 rear tires

Xplicit97 03-02-2014 05:42 AM

So I have a Nismo with Ark springs all factory camber arms. Im curious what size / offset, wheels/tires I can fit with minimum neg camber and not stretching tires. Obviously I don't want to rub either.I'm Looking at 20" wheels. Thanks

Kmccarthy714 03-15-2014 07:14 PM

I Have 19x9.5 +12 Front
19x10.5 +22 rear

Can i run stock tires safely, and without stretch? or do i need to bump them up if so what sizzes?

Awwthentic 04-14-2014 01:32 AM

Hey guys, I been researching sooo much on rim sizes haha. The look I want the most agressiveness but sit flush with the fender.

I'm on swift drop springs no camber kit YET.

I have 19x9.5 -2 and 19.10 -11.

These are laying around from my Infiniti build and was wondering if I added a 10mm to the front will it sit flush? They dont clear the BBK and I tried a 5/16 spacer but still hit caliper =/
So couldnt see if it stuck out past the fender with them on or not.

Here's the wheels :tup:

I'm curious I'm looking at Forgestar F10's. I would like to get a 20X10 F and a 20X11 or 20X12" R combination. What offsets will I need to get to be pretty close to flush, and clear BBK? 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

DETROITBOY27 06-12-2014 10:21 AM

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

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.

Honestly I dont think those will work regardless.... The faces are flat and are not going to clear the Akebono's.. Do yourself a favor, sell those to the VIP crowd and buy yourself some new wheels with specs for a 370z... Hit up Mark @ Ravspec for advice and prices.

sktvietdragon 07-30-2014 11:32 PM

Would this be too aggressive? I'm currently on -2.5 camber in front and -3.3 camber in the rear. I'm planning to get this set up...
19x10 +0 with 245/35
19x11 +0 with 275/35
Opinion?? If you have pictures, please post it up. I wanna see how it sit
