flamez Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 19" 8j et-43? non brembo, oem suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Good question. Ive got 10J ET -40ish on the front of mine, only just clears Brembo's but needs large arch extensions. 10J ET -18 is what the wheel itself is and we thought we could fit it with a little arch work, but it wasnt anywhere near clearing a Brembo. My calculator tells me you would have 26mm more inner clearance, so it would very tight on the brakes, and 24mm less on the outside so its going to be tight again ........ my advice would be a trial fit, its too close to guess IMO.

flamez Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 so are are you sayiing i'll need to get arch work? as i dont really wanna modify the car at all tbh. They havn't got any tyres on at the moment. rears are 10.5j offset unknown but im guessing around +20ish. so the fronts will stick out more than the rears. will this mess up handling?

Stew Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 No idea about the handling but with the fronts sitting prouder than the rears it'll look a bit lame in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamez Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 might have to space the rears out then... docwra, according to my calculator 10j -18 extends the same as 8j -43. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 docwra, according to my calculator 10j -18 extends the same as 8j -43. Like I said, its going to need work, I know that from trying to test fit my 10J's - they looked almost perfect with a bit of a flare. The more I think about it thought the more I think brake clearance is going to be the major issue, it was with mine Whether its possible or not I wouldnt like to say, Id personally be looking elsewhere TBH, get something that fits better in the first place. Like these: He is asking £1450, TBH Id still hold out for 19's but if you want crazy ass VIP rims these are probably your best bet atm.

brillomaster Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 -43?!!? are you positive you've read that right? (pun intended) i can't imagine a car which would ever want an offset that low on a relatively low width - maybe some monster 11" rims would have an offset that low, and then some major arch work. that wheel would stick out 73mm more than a standard 8" wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamez Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 would those vienna's fit? they look wider than mine. They came off a widebody 350z that was running spacers in the front and even wider spacers on the rear. The wheel width is actually pretty sensible, especially when it comes to getting tyres on without having to resort to stretch or crazy tyre sizes etc. I was thinking maybe 18's front, 19's back, if i cant source any more 19's for now? i definately want 19's on if possible, so if i cant fit the -43's on the front or back, then i might just sell them and try and source a more conservative offset for the front, because i dont really wanna mess with the arches.

TBF it only looks like that because the wheels wouldnt clear the brakes, but its certainly different Its unusual to have an 8/9J with a high negative offset but it does happen, I know a lot of AE86 Corollas running negative double figure offsets on 7/8J's. 8 -43 is including the spacer as well remember, the wheel is 8 -18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamez Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 WoW! do you have any more pics? What tyres you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Tyres are 255/35/18 front and 285/30/19 rear I think, RE050's all round Moar pics below, not many on here seem to like it but its looks great in the metal http://s152.photobucket.com/albums/s161/docwra/350Z/ - bear in mind there are the three stages there, standard spec, nice rims spec and then "ZOMG what have you done" spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
