KyleR Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 235/40 and 265/40, or 245/40 and 275/40, or standard sizes but they may be a bit too stretched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I run 18x8.75 and 18x9.75 with standard tyres. Reckon thats the limit stretch wise but each alloy is different - ie they might state 10" rim but when you measure two differing brands there may be difference. FWIW If i keep mine, I'll be swapping to 275 back and 245 fronts when (if !!!!) my tyres need changing. Can take a side on pic if it helps shpwing standard tyres on above rims?

AliveBoy Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Are they real split rims? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 What is the offset of the wheels themselves? if they are less than 35 you will definitely have contact arch problems with those spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-350 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 What is the offset of the wheels themselves? if they are less than 35 you will definitely have contact arch problems with those spacers. Was waiting for someone to ask this vital question... I am assuming they are weak as he is using a 30mm spacer, but we would need to know the ET to comment on tyre sizes.

KyleR Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I'm pretty sure they'll be your typical +40 ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Dish/lip like that on a 10J has got to be offset of -20 or even more, youll need the spacers to clear your brakes and then youll need severe arch modification to fit the wheels under as well. Comme ca: Thats 10J ET -16 running with a 25mm spacer, and it only just clears the brakes .......... you may also notice the 70mm odd arch extension that was needed to make it fit as well Edited March 6, 2014 by docwra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y23DRH Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 There +22 rear And +30 front Godspeed omega rims Still waiting email back to confirm shipping but there 8 hrs difference so should have email later tonight I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 The rear probably won't need a spacer and the front could maybe do with 10mm or so. Providing the rear clears the caliper of course, but I think it will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y23DRH Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 I was told 10j rear would fit fine ?? On a 350z so I'm guessing +22 will need a lot of work to fit then ? With or with out spacers ??? And same on front +30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsybriggs1 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Not fancy 20 inc alloys they would look ace on a wide arch zed in the Godspeed :-) nice alloys anyway mate :-) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 The website says $38 shipping when I go through the process, I can't see that being right from the states, more like $300-400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y23DRH Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 I had 20 inch alloys before on the car looked to big that's what I stayed 18 inch this time Sadly they don't do 19s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I think youre a little wide of the mark here TBH mate - if youre buying wheels brand new then why not get better offsets and lose the spacers, and I still maintain theres no way a 10J ET22 will have 5 inches of lip like in that top picture - a quick fag packet calculation suggests that the midpoint will be 127mm from the face, if you then take 22mm off for the offset it leaves 105mm which means even if the mounting face is only 30mm deep (which it wont be) youve only got 3 inches of wheel remaining for the lip. A 10J ET 22 with a 30mm spacer is effectively 10J ET -8 anyway which would require a fair amount of archwork to get it to fit as well, Id head back to the drawing board for a bit before you go shelling out any cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I think you can get a 5" lip ok. They look like the spokes are convex rather than concave, so they bow out towards the edge of the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 There +22 rear And +30 front Godspeed omega rims Still waiting email back to confirm shipping but there 8 hrs difference so should have email later tonight I hope Are you sure they are positive and not negative offset? Z wheels are normally negative offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
