Tire/wheel guys- need help!

NickTurnon · 03-27-2013, 12:56 PM

A friend of mine is selling his f14 Forgestars...

20x9.5 +7
20x12 +39
245 30 20 yoko s drives up front
325 25 20 pirelli out back
$$$make me a FAST CASH offer, these need to go FAST. $$$

He originally bought the wheels for his TT 350z. They are too big and too low of an offset for him. He is willing to sell me the wheels and tires for $1500.

Will these fit the base 370z without having to roll fenders?? Rubbing?

Wheel guys who know your stuff, give me a yes or no.

If they don't fit, I might be able to find someone else I can sell them to.

NickTurnon · 03-27-2013, 03:09 PM

He said the tires are all 90-95% Tread life...

Retails for $2500 and he is posting on CL for $1600.

Hopefully he can give me a hookup.

Anyone know if these will fit?!

cossie1600 · 03-27-2013, 03:17 PM

It wont fit

kenchan · 03-27-2013, 03:54 PM

it will fit in my fit.

The front offset is about 8mm lower then a VERY agressive front offset with that width.

The rear should be fine.. The thing is that pair on your 370z would look VERY odd. The front would be super aggressive while the back is not agressive at all (similar to the Nismo rear wheel offset 10.5+23 vs 12+30 is 3mm difference extending outward)

NickTurnon · 03-28-2013, 11:49 AM

This is from the seller/friend from Z Club.
im selling them new but mounted previously ( ZERO brake dust in barrels proves never seen the street) for 1600 bucks obo including all tires.

The bolt parttern was for nissan 350z, 370z 5x114.3

These are deep concave wheels in Brnze burst powdercoat
One wheel has a small scratch on the wheel face, not from curbing etc.
Tires are used but are at 85-90 percent and show no odd wear or balding from camber etc.

sizes are as follows:
fronts 20x9.5 +7
rears 20x12 +39

tires are yokohama s drives 245 30 20
and PIRELLI PZero NERO 325 25 20... these are 569 dollar ea tires folks.

carbon fiber FS centercaps are included as well and are still previously unmounted.
these also include nissan TMPS already installed in rear, and are included loosely for the fronts

the fronts have room to have about 5mm removed.. making them a +12, this would cost 75 dollars per wheel at Tempe Wheel Specialists. [/COLOR]

A +12 front on a 9.5 width is done... You won't be able to slam the car without rubbing issues (rolling fenders with possible pulling fender as well if slammed) but with a moderate drop you should be ok.

But again the rear offset with the width wouldn't match the front. You should do a 19x11+10 to match that front 9.5+12.

I would be keeping the stock height-

No plans to drop the car.

Should i buy these for $1400?

I have the base 18s now. Clueless..

GetYourWheels · 03-28-2013, 03:59 PM

I have a hard time believing the front offset is a +7

Straight from forgestar's website

20×9.0 offsets from +18 to +56

These numbers are straight from the seller.

He says:
They can be shaved 3-5mm each wheel?

I know nothing about offsets and wheel sizes.

I don't think I can afford to get them and have them not fit because of how weird the fitment is. He had them custom made I believe

Waiz · 03-28-2013, 06:42 PM

Those wheels were intended to be on a widebody 350z, way too aggressive for your car

I would just pass and find a vendor who can get you a more conservative setup

raymondo510 · 03-28-2013, 06:59 PM

Before I ordered my wheels I was looking into these and I believe the deep concave only came in 19's. Why don't you just spend a little bit more and order a new set from Getyourwheels and get a better size and offset's

HELLO- We have a winner! This is the best idea yet... OP i would roll with this.

If you are keeping your car at stock height i would suggest staying away from a more aggressive offset as it will look a little odd. When you lower a car with aggressive offsets the wheels will camber in and not look like a 4x4 truck.

If you plan to lower it go with a 19x9.5 +15 to +20 and a 19x11+10 rear
255-30-19 front tire and 305-30-19 rear tire.

If you plan to keep it stock height then go with a 19x9.5+25 to +30 and a 19x11 +15 to +20

My suggestion is to lower your car even a mild drop will make a world of difference when you do a new set of wheels.

Op- Just to give you an idea of how offsets really change the look of your car i put 2 pics of my old 350z

First pic is a 19x9.5+22 front 19x10.5+22 rear
2nd pic is a 19x9.5+12 front and 19x10.5+12 rear
10mm is less then a half inch difference but made the car look a lot more aggressive

Haha it's funny cuz I actually saw some some other pics you posted I'm not sure if they were yours but they were Works and it was those exact same specs I went with except I think I'm gonna run a 285/30 265/35 combo. Ill be stock for about a month but will be lowered on Stance soon after.

Nice, actually those pics i posted to help another Z member out about the perfect offsets for the 370z were of another forum members car.

I will be rocking some new wheels soon myself with the offsets i listed 9.5+15 and 11+10 or +5

Love your Sig too! Ricky Bobby for the win
