stuey Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 tricky one but wot is the ideal wheel offset to put on our zeds...... and is the back the same as the front... Quote
rmmackfc Posted January 28, 2007 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
stuey Posted January 28, 2007 Author 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
rmmackfc Posted January 28, 2007 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. Check http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp To figure out what you've got just now see... http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/350Z_OEM_Wheel_Specifications Ross Quote
rickya Posted January 28, 2007 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
stuey Posted January 28, 2007 Author Posted January 28, 2007 im thinkin of perhaps 8s on the front and 9s on the back or possibly 8s all round Quote
rickya Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 IMO better 8 on front & 9 or 9.5 on back Quote
rmmackfc Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 IMO better 8 on front & 9 or 9.5 on back Agree Quote
Revsport Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 My volks are 19x8.5 +22 fronts 19x9.5 +22 rear Works 18x8.5 +22 fronts 18x9.5 +22 rear Dont know what the anteras are but they look the same. All went on with no issues. So id go with between +20 to +25 Lew Quote
Mathys Posted January 29, 2007 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
