I believe that that's a good wheel spec for your setup. I don't think you'll go wrong with it...the most you'll need I'd say is a 5mm spacer if they're not quite flush with the fender.

Thanks man!! +44 is also an option.. That is around 5mm from from +38 right?? So +44 should be spot on

+44 means further in, so then you'll need a 10mm spacer instead of 5. +30, +33, or +35 would be a better option

Be sure and post pics; you may have to get rid of some of that negative camber or the outside of your tire may be off the ground.

Glad I could help...I have a bit of experience with the front too, however it's with stock ride height and alignment...again.

With that said, I have a 285/35R19 on the original front Nismo wheel (19x9.5 +40mm) and they weren't quite flush with the fender. So, I installed 10mm spacers and now they're perfectly flush. That makes the wheel effectively from a +40 offset to a +30 offset because of the 10mm spacer.

The 295 tire is 10mm wider than the 285 tire, so it'll stick out 5mm more on each side. That would make the 19x11 +37 a good fit with a 295/35R19 tire...on stock ride height and alignment that is...but it should be a good fit for your setup as well.

Only thing is, a 10" wheel is more suitable for a 295 than an 11" wheel. Reason being is that the 12" rear wheel with a 345 is gonna give you a slight bubbly look, while the 11" with a 295 will look straight or even slightly stretched, making your front and rear tire to wheel look different. If you don't care about that, it's gonna work just fine.

345mm=13.58"...that's a 1.58" wider tire than the 12" wheel.
295mm=11.61"...that's only a 0.61" wider tire than the 11" wheel.

With a 10" wheel that'll be a 1.61" difference, almost same as what it will be in the rear so you'll get a more uniform look.

10.5" will also be fine, however the offsets you posted aren't ideal as it seems. +43 is too far in, +30 could poke out slightly out of the fender... Although it'll probably be fine too.

Thanks a lot brother!! I'll have to study your posts awhile and it will click.. Definitely very helpful, ive never took the time to learn offsets. I actually have Nismo's also and running 305/30 w15mm spacers and 255(way to narrow)35 w 20mm.. the rear is slight bubble with slight stretch front, I don't mind the look. Maybe I should consider 12.5 Ill just copy all sizes

Well I tried to line the top line offset but it keeps reformatting when I try to post.. Wheels are SSR Executor CV01 super concave dish

I use this chart; pretty accurate/ remember that a wheels width is measured from inner bead to bead- so overall width is usually 1" wider than specs... That will help you... Also on this chart- it shows back spacing in inches/for the + & - offsets....hope this helps.

a little better understanding; it can drive you crazy- with custom wheels; you don't won't any spacers.... Gotta pin the tail on the donkey! Don't forget to upload any pics/ I'm interested in same configuration- just lack of $$$ rite now- off to work & have a good day!

guys ...whats the widest tire choice i can go with on oem 19" sport rays without any issues. i have 20" spacers in rear and my car (2009 370z base) is at standard height.


Any recommendations? Tire/dimensions/make

I'm no help, cause I got base 18's... But if you scroll through this thread-you will see a lot of different combos. Just be sure you are using same diameter tire in front or drivability malfunction will occur. I run 245/45 & 275/40 on factory 18's...8" on front & 9" on rear. Both tires are 26.7" diameter..they work great. (Hjust for example) . Have a good day & im sure you will get some comments.

[jchammond]

Can't believe nobody else has posted/ so I'm gonna give it a whirl.... Not sure about your spacers though.
