Can some one help me with Tenzo wheel

[mike0983]

Hi, I just need a picture of the Tenzo concept 9 wheels mounted on a 370z with the sport package brake.
Coz i would like to have those wheels in 19''x8,5'' +45 front and 19''x9,5'' +19 for rear.
The problem is that Tenzo dealer told me that it would not wit on my 370z because of the size of the brake caliper??

I'm quiet sure they are wrong, and i would like to have a confirmation with a picture.

Thanks for help, would be much appreciated.

They are not going to clear the sport brakes.

They do not have enough caliper clearance in the front.

Ok, so they were right:-)...
and what about the tenzo type m??

i hope it's all good for these, in 19''x8,5'' +45 and 19''x10'' +22??

You would want to run the 19x8.5 +20 and the 19x10 +22

Or you could do these

19x9.5 +20 and 19x11 +18 made specifically for the 370z

I'd love to go with that dimensions, but for the front in 19''x8,5" +20 it Will push the wheel out about 25mm more than the factory wheel. And this is too much regarding the regulation of my beautiful country;-), so it's not permited.
I know it is strange, and that why is so difficult to find a good and permited wheels;-)...

So for you, the dimensions i gave you before Will work?!? I can go for it...

I don't have one of the type M's here in stock so I can't say for sure yes or no.

If you want to know if a wheel will clear your brake calipers, call the company and ask them if the X-Factor (which is the distance between the hub mountain surface and the spokes) is at least the following:

Front: 50mm
Rear 22mm

If you don't understand what i'm talking about, read this thread i made a while ago and you'll understand. But the wheel company should know what you are talking about.

Sport Package Caliper Clearance

Jeff is correct but that is not the only measurment you need.

You also need the sweep of where the caliper starts in relation to the distance to the center of the hub.

on the 370z your caliper starts at 120mm and ends at 190mm

yep. when i got custom wheels i was dealing with flat face mesh style wheels so i didn't really have to think about that since it was just... well.... flat. it would either clear the entire caliper the whole way or not at all. I'm assuming its a big factor with concave wheels though, yes?

its interesting how many measurements there are when you really delve into it.

All good information in this thread.

I personally like the stock wheels more than aftermarket wheels that don't fit properly.

[GetYourWheels]

Since this is a face concave wheel the center will tend to have less clearance near the back pad.

The front +45 offset is to high and doesn't have enough back pad to clear the calipers. A +15 to +20 is ideal. Even if they did clear the calipers the wheels would tuck way under the fenders and not look right.

The stock 18" wheels are 18x8 +43 so they will not stick in. They will actually come out a little further than the stock 18" wheels. As poster stated his country will not allow for the wheels to be a lower offset.
