This is a great little tool to help figure things out.

OK so I'm wanting a set of rays gram lights 57fxx.
The measurements come in at

19x9.5+15
19x11+18

So to speak the front should be 38mm further out and 26mm more inner clearance. And the rear should be 26mm further out and 1 mm less inner clearance?

I'm going to measure tomorrow, anyone run these wheels?

Tempestz 09-29-2014 07:57 AM

Just a quick question, looking at trading wheels with a friend,

18X10 +12 square set up

id like to run 275/40-18

still stock height and I don't think im going to drop the car yet.
is this too aggressive? Thanks in advance for the input.

Fronts will stick out way too much ... I just had the 19x9.5 +25 fitted in my car and they were too aggressive, 35 would work much better for the fronts. I can't speak for the rears, but I think they would also stick out too much by about 5mm

aszyd 10-01-2014 07:42 PM

Here's 19x11 +18 rear. No tire, but the suspension is compressed.

Zerocool 11-16-2014 10:17 PM

so the lower the offset number the more the wheel will stick out?

There are these varrstoen es552 wheels that I'd like to get.

website I'm looking at has them at
F 19x9.5 +22
R 19x10.5 +22


Will that be fine? excuse the ignorance.

I think you'll need 10mm spacers in the back

The rears fit perfectly with no spacers and doesnt stick out.

I bought some 15mm spacers and placed them on the front to clear BBK but stick out way to damn much. I guess its time to either re-barrel the fronts or sell them and get some other options.

Ok so I'm getting ready to order the new work emotion c2p wheels and I need some input. First my 370z has bbk's, coilovers and camber arms front and rear and a lot of hp. So what I'm wanting is maximum lip on the rear with widest tire as possible. And decent lip on front. I'm OK with some camber just nothing crazy. I am also willing to stretch the tires some but nothing extreme on this either. The wheels will be 19's also. So what's the best offset to achieve what I'm looking for?

I'm running 19x9.5, +28 in the front with 275/30-19 PSS. Was running 19x12, +25 rear with 325/30-19 PSS's. Perfect fit. Change the rear tires to 345/30-19 PSS's. Same rims. Now they poke some.

boosted180 02-18-2015 12:14 AM

Someone please help me decide. I'm ordering Forgestar 18x9.5 front and 18x10 rears. Tires will be 255 40 18 F, and 285 35 18 R. -2.25 camber front and -1.75 rear.

What offset do I need for a flush or close to flush fit??

I've read wildly different numbers. Some guys are saying a +30 for the front will be flush and others are flush at +20. By my rough calculations, it should be closer to +20. For the rears, I figure about a +16??

The only problem with the fronts is that the semi-concave only goes to +26. The don't have anything lower than that. So should I go deep concave in the front and super deep for the rear? Or just stick with +26 in the semi-concave and it should be ok for the front and deep for the rear at +16? Or if I go with 18x9 in the fronts, what offset do I need? Something around a +28?

Help me decide!

Corona 03-09-2015 07:56 AM

So about to pull the trigger on some new wheels. Advice on my current plans?

Currently Rays w/ stock tires
19x9 +47 (+27 w/ 20mm spacers)
19x10 +30 (+10 w/ 20mm spacers)

Planned CSL Rims
19x9 +30 (+25 w/ 5mm spacers)
19x10.5 +20 (+10 w/ 10mm spacers)

I assume if I want the same stance I currently have that I will need smaller spacers with the new rims, correct? ET 30 front and ET 20 rear would be fairly tucked in, i think… Thoughts?

For reference, most guys with Volk GTS wheels are running 19x9.5 +17 and 19x10.5 +18. TE37 owners with the same wheel widths and diameters as mentioned, however, run +22 front and +12 rear. For your Forgestar 18x9.5 front and 18x10 rears, I would get between +22 and +15 front, and maybe something as low as +6 in the rear since you intend on running 18x10 wheels.

I'm running 20mm front and 25mm rear spacers on my stock Rays so I know where you're coming from. With your new setup (plus the spacers you mentioned), your front wheels will stick out by 2 mm , which I think would look better. The rears, on the other hand, will stick out by 6 mm, so it's like running 26 mm spacers on your OEM rear Rays.

Work Emotion CR2P Offsets
 
I just put down a deposit for a set of Work Emotion CR2P wheels in the 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 sizes. However, I'm still undecided on what offsets to go with. I understand most run the +22 front and +12 rear offsets for TE37s, but I'm pretty sure +17 will fit nicely up front considering some guys have GT-S wheels with those offsets.

The question is, what offsets would you suggest I get? I'm leaning towards 19x9.5 +17 front and 19x10.5 +12 rear. I'm lowered on Swift springs and do not intend on getting camber arms, or anymore negative camber. Regarding tires, the wheels might eventually end up on my 350Z so I'll more than likely get 265/35 and 285/35.

With that said, what car/wheel combination do you prefer? A 350Z on TE37s and 370Z on CR2P, or a 350Z on CR2P and 370Z on TE37? The 350Z is a bit lower so I'm guessing the "flashier" CR2P would suit the car better? I could then just put the TE37s on the 370Z. Thanks guys.

Thanks for the reply. I decided to just buy the rims and throw them on first. Then I can safely figure out what spacers to buy.

The whole new problem is finding the right lugs for the new wheel, lol.

Gilianz 03-26-2015 02:33 PM

Looking for some advice. I'm looking to get a set of Gramlights 57FXX in 19 9.5 and 19 10.5. I have no idea on what offset I should go with. I currently have stock sport Rays with 15mm spacers in the front and 20mm in the rear. Thanks in advance for the help

Personally I would go 19x9.5 +25 with 19x11 +18 but you will still probably need a 10-15mm spacer on the rear to flush it up. It just depends what tire sizes you're going with and if you plan to stance and flush or if you want meaty tires.

I am currently running stock sizes for the front but have 285 in the rear. I am lowered on Tanabe coilovers. But I am looking to have it sit flush. Will I still need to keep the front spacers or will it be fine with just the wheel offset?

Shirichqin 04-30-2015 06:49 AM

How would these specs work on our Z's?

19x9.5ET10
19x11ET-2

You'd have to be slammed and run negative camber. put a 285/30 or 295/30 around the rear and you could be ok at a low ride height and a decent amount of negative camber.

With a good drop, fronts should be ok. I would not run wider than 245/35 on that front wheel width and offset. I have a that size on my 9.5" front wheel and it's flush. you will clear the front with a good drop at 1.5-2.5 degrees negative camber.

bm37Oz 06-27-2015 03:08 AM

Hello,

I bought two set of rims from two separate ppl from this forum.
First set is work miesters sp3, 19x10 -2 245/35/19 and rear is 285/30/19 -7, very aggressive. I am lowered about 2.75 running -3.5 camber all around.

I am thinking about changing it up to forgestars for a bit. tires are 255/55/19 ALL AROUND. FRONT IS 19X10 +22 AND REAR IS 19X11 +0. YOU THINK WITH THIS SET UP I CAN GET MY ALIGNMENT MORE IN SPEC OR WITHIN OR CLOSE TO SPEC?, THANKS . MISESTERS ARE CHEWING MY FRONT TIRES UP.

3FIDDYZ 07-12-2015 10:02 PM

Hi everyone,

Quick fitment question. I have just received my set of Work Meisters for my 350Z. Clearance is fine with my brembo's, 19x9.5 +24 (R Disk) and 19x10.5 +23 (O Disk). Have heard different stories about the clearance on the 370Z and akebono... brakes are bigger on 370Z?

Any rough fitment advice on whether these could fit the 370Z would be appreciated - will upgrade from the 350Z to 370Z in a few years.

Cheers,

Ghost116 11-24-2015 12:56 PM

Any help would be great, almost have it narrowed down for spring. Work emotion cr2p step lip. Front 19x9.5 +20 I think it's the a disk (clear bbk)
Rear is what I'm deciding on, looking at sizes similar to rusty 19x12 +20-25. I want to run a 305 out back with camber within factory spec or dam near. My thinking is rustys running +28 with a 325 on stock suspension. So the 305 with -5 more offset should put me just a little more tucked then him? ( to allow for closer to factory camber specs)

Does that sound about right?

Ghost116 11-24-2015 03:02 PM

Oh and 3fiddyz work may offer template or contact them they should know if no one knows for sure. But from what I've read it should clear akebonos (on sport models)

OptionZero 11-24-2015 05:25 PM

I'm planning to run 20x10.5 +22 front and 20x12 +12 TE-37 Ultra
anyone have this setup?

Ghost116 11-24-2015 05:52 PM

From wat I've read the plus 12 will be really close if not hitting the fender without pretty excessive camber.

OptionZero 11-25-2015 01:35 AM

Sorry, i typed that wrong. Rays only makes the 20x12 in +20, which is still cool

I was running 17x9.5 +12 and 18x10.5 +18 on my S14; i'm
used to making stuff fit (and that wasn't even uber aggressive, even for metal fenders)

I've dug around enough to know the rears will be fine with stretch, camber, roll, and the Z has enormous space in the rear. I'm not planning on tucking the entire tire or anything.

I'm mainly just checking if the 10.5 +22 will have any rubbing issues on the INSIDE.

For my S14, i kept rubbing on the wiring harness on the front, and had to ziptie the damn thing near the top of the front frame inside the fender.

Wish they made 20x9.5 +12 with face 4

Ghost116 11-25-2015 06:54 AM

With camber and stretch ya u should be good in the rear. Plus they are already rolled ;). And I'm not 100% on the inside of the front but I've heard of close to that fitting with a roll. Front aren't rolled. Could always run it through an offset calc. And see what happens

skosmc 12-02-2015 09:37 AM

You can make them fit. At the most you may need some camber, a tire stretch, and possibly the fenders rolled. I'm personally running 10.5s but with a big negative offset (18s with a slammed car) They took some work, but they fit.

Want some opinions before I order a new set, I want to run 285 35 19 front and 325 30 19 rear, I've seen the nismo wheels hold these sizes nicely but I won't be running any spacers, lowered or more camber. Should the nismo offsets be the best option or is anyone running something similar but better?

Kraken370 04-18-2016 12:14 AM

I need help with wheels. There are these varstoen es2 wheels i want, the sizes are:
front 19x9.5 +22
rear 19x10.5 +22

There are all kind of sizes for offset but i was wondering if this one will fit my base 370 and will it look good? I am lowered an inch on ark gtf springs. What tires do I choose? I'm a beginner to car modding sorry. Ordering from concept z performance website.

OptionZero 04-18-2016 01:57 AM

thats the size that like . . .every run of the mill z owner runs.

Kraken370 04-18-2016 08:47 AM

Are you replying to me or the one of the guys above? Also would .12 offset front and back work on 9.5 and 10.5

OptionZero 04-18-2016 09:56 AM

For +12 you may need some camber depending on tire size imo

Ghost116 04-19-2016 08:27 PM

U should be ok with +12 considering u can run 19x11 +5 no rub. I was going to go with es2 but they only go up to 10.5 and y oh y run 10.5 when u could run 12 ;)

Anthony@Royal 05-14-2016 05:39 PM

Our 370z on Work CR 2P
19x9.5 +12 - 245/35
19x11 -5 - 275/35
Approx. -3* camber all around

Here's some photos for you guys to reference if anyone is questioning their future setup with similar specs.

just bought 19.5 +25 and they dont clear my sport brakes

!@#$%^&*

OptionZero 07-14-2016 03:50 PM

been mentioned over and over

offset doesn't dictate clearance
spoke design does

most reputable brands will tell you if a particular size will clear

what wheel did you buy?
