rmmackfc Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Personally i'd go between 20- 25mm Some info here .... http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5702&highlight=offset What you got fitted just now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuey Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 so the lower the offset the more sticky out they are and the bigger the offset the more tucked oi they are.............. is that right........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmmackfc Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Smaller offset the more they stick out Larger offset pushes them in Just to confuse you more, if you increase wheel width this also comes into the equation.

rickya Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Dont forget to take into account the width of the alloy, as that affects offset proportionately. e.g 9.5inch(e.g 275 tyre) wide alloy on the back & you can get away with a 20mm offset. But on a 10 inch wide rear alloy (e.g 285 tyre), a 20mm offset may stick out of the arches too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuey Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 im thinkin of perhaps 8s on the front and 9s on the back or possibly 8s all round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickya Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 IMO better 8 on front & 9 or 9.5 on back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathys Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I can confirm that with a 10.5" +17 volk rim in the rear, it does stick out the fender a little . IMO it looks aggresive though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
