Reverse mount? What does that mean, exactly? Also, what is the offset of these wheels?

:confused: Ok, now we know you have 20" diameter rims. How wide are they? And what is the offset? Without those numbers (no guessing). You won't get an answer. You guess, you may get anything. It's GIGO. Garbage in, garbage out. To find the numbers. They are stamped on the backside of the rim disc on most rims.

trying to go 275 square on OEM staggered rays, with 1 inch drop on coils, would the front have any issues?

jsavvy 11-05-2017 08:35 PM

Finally get to join the Meaty club!!!

Picked up some TE37SLs on craigslist :stirthepot:
19x9.5 +22 Front
19x10.5 +22 Rear -20mm Spacer, effective offset +2

285/35 Front
325/30 Rear
on the all new Michelin Pilot Sport 4s

Lowered on Swift Springs

With the spacer it has super aggressive poke but would rub on the outside of the fender quite horrifically so I had to take off the spacer and it is actually quiet flush considering it is +22, thought it would be much worse. Dont have pictures without the Spacers but will add if requested.

No rubbing without the spacers. ONLY if i have a passenger, get some slight rub occasionally on the front right for some reason, havent inspected the cause. (No fat chicks) :rofl2:

This is WITH. without the 20mm it is actually flush. I think because the tires are so wide, +22 looks good.

Thanks for any input/ as these tires look great!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...aa707e5d45.jpg

Fuhhhh 345s :stirthepot:

I like the PS4s but to be honest- I havent driven them super hard because my fronts rub more than I like. Low key wish I got 275's probably wouldnt rub at all. Need to roll my front fenders for sure.

Yep jsavvy; being lowered & +22’s on your 9.5/10.5” combo is 3/8” more aggressive up front & 1/8” less aggressive in rear; vs my +38 10/12’s on Factory ride height.
I plan to lower a tick/ after I get supporting parts to retain my -1.0* camber all around.
But those PS4S meats look really good!
I gotta get out the base Wheels & my All Seasons,,,cause weather is dipping cool here in S.C. Invo’s don’t like the cold & I sure wouldn’t ruin a set of summer Michelin tire’s in it either.
Ty for reply. :)

No issue at all

Well I just finished reading this entire thread. Yup, all 1135 posts, and I did learn a lot, and I recently replaced my tires with a bigger than stock size.

Sadly the most noticeable lesson here was that what is seemingly “meaty” to me is apparently only lunch meat to some of you guys...

No pics posted, I’m outta here... LOL

I'm waiting on someone to run a 325/345 combo, or a 345 square set-up. :eek:

LENTZ 01-31-2018 06:39 PM

What is the best 325 wide all season? It snows every now and then here and rains damn near every day. I run Continental DWS06 currently in 285's but want to go back to meaty. I used to have 305 NT05R's and loved the traction. I want something wide for all year long when I order my new wheels here in a week. The sizes will be 325 rears and 285 fronts. All I found that wide on tirerack is the A/S+ Run Flats in 325. Are there any other options?

Spooler 05-27-2018 12:07 PM

WOW, we have a good many folks running 19x10 front and 19x11.5 rear now. Very few when I ordered my set. If I get another set, I guess I will need to fit 19x10.5 and 19x12 to be different, LOL.

I'm thinking of doing 325's on 19x11 on the front. To go with my 345's on the rear. Now that would be Extra Meaty. :tup:

If I had to do it again I would do these offset. They should fit.

19x10.5 +22 Front
19x12 +24 Rear

I would need to double check the offsets and a list of SPL parts will be needed to camber them in to fit along with possibly rolling the fenders.

Tires:
Front: 285/35/19
Rear: 335/30/19

wheee! 06-13-2018 01:46 PM

Added some Michelin PS/2’s in 305ZR30/19 size to RoZy.... so far I am impressed.

Did a lot of you guys relocate the front bumper/fender tab? My side wall is getting chewed up on my 265.

You lowered?

Zbrah 06-17-2018 06:15 PM

I have 285s on the front and lowered 1”....rubs on the wheel liners only when I powered through dips and speed bumps. Sounds like you’re too low on the coil overs with aggressive offsets.

Noop, I do get a touch of rubbing on the tabs if I hit a massive bump like the Gravity Cavity on the Dragon.

I am via coil overs. I’m on 19x10.5 + 7 (305R) and 19x9.5 +17 (265F) p front just barely tucking tire. Fenders are rolled, tabs have been cut, liners have been slightly cut as well and it seems like the culprit is the front bumper/fender tab. Just wanted to see how many, or if there people, that have done it.

t_n0d 06-29-2018 12:53 PM

Well, I ended up cutting out the old fender/bumper tab and relocated the bolt further down about an inch and I am clear. Finally.

Omnibeelzemo 07-17-2018 10:29 AM

I'll be joining the 305's club by tomorrow. I went with Hankook 265/35/19 and 305/30/19. For the time being they're going on the stock rays. Also bought some permanent tire lettering, yes I know cheesy.

1UPZ 10-02-2018 06:11 AM

Hi Guys,
I'm new here and new to the 370Z club, just like to share some photos about Meaty Tires

Not as wide as some here, but I went for what is legal over here and maximum recommended tyre size per wheel width, again due to road rules.

Tyre Brand: Goodyear
Front: 265/40/19 (Wheel is +25 Offset)
Rear: 295/35/19 (Wheel is +12 Offset)

Goodyear have wider treads than other tire brands per width spec.
Example. The 295 has 12 inch Tread and it shows clearly when you see it, compare it to a Michelin 305 or 315, it actually has wider Tread.

Compare the Goodyear 295 to the Stock Nismo Dunlop 285, the tread is a good inch and a bit wider even though they're suppose to be only 10mm difference.

The wall ratio I chose also led to a 2.5% increase in height increase for the front and about 1.2% increase for the rear. End result is the wheel gap for front and rear are reduced, with the front reduced by about 0.4 inch, on top of the Nismo's already reduced by 0.4 inch the front looks lowered even though it is on stock springs and suspension setup.
