Pretty sure, but hope I'm wrong about this offset

[RisingPower]

Fairly sure that 19x10 et 15 wouldn't clear the brembos at the front and would look absolutely silly sticking out 2cm past the arches, not to mention whether the tyres would even fit?

i have 9.5 and tbh i wouldnt say a drop more would fit and thats on standard suspension. I'm going to have headaches lowering it. 10 would be V difficult.

 

cant see why it wouldnt clear the brembos though?

[Ian]

I think that would be fine

 

Might need arches rolling if you drop it a silly amount, but theyd be fine

Just I was looking at the brembos and they have maybe a tadge less than 1cm clearance on the stock 18"s (not to say the spoke style doesn't count for anything in this case), so I figured according to an offset calc there would be 1cm less inner clearance.

 

Besides, it wouldn't even be a staggered setup (not sure what min size tyres you can get away with on 10's), nah it's probably a crazy idea Damn. Maybe if I'm lucky they may split the rears.

 

Ian, you don't think pushing the fronts out that much would be an issue?

[Ian]

No.

Isn't TADDY on about doing something similar ?

Its quite a wide wheel for the front - what width do you intend for the rear?

Offset of 15 shouldn't be an issue with regard to brembo's - a 15 offset will clear brembos much better than say a weak offset of 30 to 40. Your bigger issue is gonna be rubbing on the wheel arch but then its not difficult to roll the arches either.

 

TBH I wouldn't put a 10 inch wide rim on the front of the Zed as you're going to have to put a similarly wide (e.g. 275) tyre on which won't be ideal for an NA Zed's performance - it'll be likely to understeer quite a bit more than normal.

Well, there's a set of 19x10's w et/15, so it would be 19x10 et15 all round.

Looking at tyre sizes, maybe I could go 265/35 front, 285/35 rear but iirc 265 is a bit stretched on 10j. It's just not really brilliant for tyres at all (I'd also probably end up refurbing them gunmetal)

 

Think I may just wait until I can get 19x9 et22 and 19x10 et15. Ah well, was a nice thought while it lasted

Lovely rims alright - the same width front and rear would suit a 4WD car like the GTR just fine.

If your budget is 1400GBP though then the world is your oyster though for 2nd hand rims - you're better off waiting for the right set to pop up. I just bought a set of 19 inch Rays in a Zed fitment for 600GBP off ebay (putting them on a Murano though).

I run 19x9.5 et 23 front 19x10.5 et 22 rear with no issues.

The problem is, I've settled on the advans in gunmetal in 19" before now, so it's just a question of just saving until I can get them.

 

Volks are really, really nice, but the GTS's which I also really like look like a maintenance nightmare and they're quite heavy, unlike the RS. Oh and I'd also be copying other people here if I went with GTS
