Is this a 350z forum and I didn't know it?

obliterx8 10-04-2013 08:42 PM

So guys, I need some advice on fitment. I found some wheels I like at a good price and want to know if I can fit them (hopefully without any roll/pull/trim and especially no camber).

I will soon be lowered 20mm on the MS springs/shocks.

So here's what I am thinking:
Front: 19x8.5+36 with 245/35R19
Rear: 19x9.5+43 with 255/35R19

Wheels are what they are, tires can change if needed. So, will they fit?

I don't really want a staggered setup, but these might be too nice to pass up if they fit.

I know some of you guys have some crazy fitments, so maybe you can weigh in on something less aggressive like this. Any advice you have would be appreciated.

Those should fit no problem....

obliterx8 10-05-2013 09:55 AM

Awesome, thanks.

So, with the 20 mm drop, you think I could get away with 265/35 rear tires? What about 275/30? I think I'm getting into fender roll territory with the 275s.

J8635621 10-05-2013 10:07 AM

Then get a fender roll. Duh

I run 285 - 645-18 slicks on 18x9.5 45 offset wheels...and they fit wirh stock wheel arches....but I am running -3.75 deg camber front and 2.5 rear. Car is lowered as far as functional.
I would think you are going to be ok....a roll is an easy way to get some more room and doesn't trash the car

hocknscary87 10-05-2013 06:55 PM

hey guys. I lowered my car and threw some xxr 530s on it. 18x9.5 +20. its rubbing on the back bumper tabs and a little at the pinch weld behind the front fender. for the bumper tabs would you just trim them up or cut them and relocate the bolt.

Danmn858 10-06-2013 11:35 AM

what size are the tires?

and you can just shave the bumper taps.

justin888 10-06-2013 02:32 PM

hello, im new to this forum and I was wondering if these wheels would fit
18x8 with 40 or 50 offset
im lowered idk how many inches but about 1 in. of the top of my tire isn't visible

dannobre 10-06-2013 02:48 PM

Either will be fine....but the 50's would be sunk in even more than stock :)....

J8635621 10-06-2013 02:55 PM

18x8 +50 is stock size

dannobre 10-06-2013 02:58 PM

LOL...been so long...I thought stock were 8.5" :)

justin888 10-06-2013 03:00 PM

Ok thanks! so would the 40 stick out more than stock or sink in?

dannobre 10-06-2013 03:09 PM

They outer lip of the rim would be out 10mm more

justin888 10-06-2013 03:15 PM

Thanks! Thats what I wanted to hear.

2legit2quit 10-06-2013 08:58 PM

I need to give this a go.

Will 18x9 wheels with +15 offset fit?
Gonna run a 225/45/18

Suspension:
Koni Yellows
Tein S-tech springs

Danmn858 10-06-2013 09:32 PM

switch to a 40 sidewall and you wont have any issues. Otherwise you will probably rub a bit on turns depending on camber spec.
If anything, just a fender roll will be needed.

Hey hey hey, lol this is the will it fit section. I wasnt sure if having a +15 offset would need camber arms and shit or put more stress on wheel bearings. I might just buy them in +38 because i dont care much about being hella flush yo'

J8635621 10-07-2013 06:42 AM

Well that would be better.

JCrane82 10-07-2013 08:03 AM

If you don't care about the HellaTard thing, then get the +38 and put wider tires than the 225's on it. Put some 245/40 or 265/35 on those 18x9 +38.

No Vossen wheel is actually that aggressive. The only issue is the don't come in sizes smaller than 19's for the nice concave ones.

So will the 19x10 fit?:/ Or should I ask for offset and go from there?

Yes 18x10 will fit. If you you go with an offset from +20 to +30 you'll be fine depending on what size tire you choose. I would recommend a 235/40 or 245/40 depending on how low you are. You would need a fender roll though. If you want to run a lower offset its still totally doable. Even like 18x10 +10 if you run like a 225/40 or 235/40 with some increased camber.

EDIT: Also note that you could run a much higher offset like +40/45 if you want to have a meatier tire.
