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

[bullitt5897]

Ok, So I was on my350z today and I was trying to inquire about a set of Work Wheels. The response I got was that the 370z had no where near the same room in the wheel well as the 350z and that the wheels would not fit! I thought to myself riiiighttt.

So lets take a look at what we have to work with and how far we can go with offsets.

I want this to be an educational thread for everyone! No flaming as we are all here trying to spread our knowledge

So stock sport wheels are:

19 x 9 +47
19 x 10 +30

at stock camber this leaves us with about 3/4 inch of room to the outside of the rim and the inside of the fender on the rears and about the same for the fronts.

We have seen that 15mm spacers on the rears put the rims close to flush with a few mm's to spare. I believe the fronts could do the same...


So the real question is at what size and offset have we gone too far?
