StevoD Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 is it like the bbs lm where the center can be fitted reversed which would give a bigger lip/negative offset Quote
BulletMagnet Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 is it like the bbs lm where the center can be fitted reversed which would give a bigger lip/negative offset Nope, the internal lip edge is different than the outer lip Quote
StevoD Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 is it like the bbs lm where the center can be fitted reversed which would give a bigger lip/negative offset Nope, the internal lip edge is different than the outer lip hmm ok back to the drawingboard Quote
embrace Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 hmm is it looking like the offset is wrong then? I will take some pictures tomorrow to show how its sitting at the mo, it already has an inward camber (the top of the tyre is facing inwards towards the car) the bottom of the rim sticks out far more than the top, i dont see how lowering the car is going to pull the wheel inwards to match the pics you guys have posted with similar offsets with only mm difference to what these are supposed to be....

aidan Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Relatively easy to check offset if you have a decent depth gauge and a steel rule accross inner face of alloy. Measure the depth from inner lip to face where wheel / hub locate. Measure the width of wheel (lip to lip) in mm. Half it then. Offset is the first figure minus have the rim width (mm). I think!!! :teeth: Edited March 17, 2014 by aidan Quote
Jay Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I just don't understand how they could be done on two previous 350z I'm really scratching my head at this. I know chris has 255 on his rears.... If that makes a difference. Quote
embrace Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 dont think the tyre will make a difference mate, the actual rim is sticking out further than my 275 tyre, so even if i stretched a 255 tyre on the rim will still be sticking out the same.... Quote
Jay Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I know chris had a slight camber on his but it was stock bar either springs or coils ( can't remember which ) Quote
StevoD Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 what is the rear tyre 275/35/19 or 275/40/19? Quote
Jetpilot Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Has it been ruled out you dont have any hub centric spacers on? Quote
embrace Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 hi mate, erm i fitted standard spacers to the front, but to me on the rear it just looks like a normal hub, dont see anything that I could remove, do they look like normal 20mm spacer plates? Quote
StevoD Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 can you get a image of your rear wheel from this angle, so we can see threw the spokes Quote
embrace Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) here is a few updated pics, passenger side drivers side Edited March 18, 2014 by embrace Quote
embrace Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 will do tomorrow when its light mate Quote
Sarnie Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 These look sooooo wrong, there needs to be something giving this fitment.......take the wheels off and post a pisture of the inside of the wheels and your hub.... Quote

I am not really sure what you mean by standard spacers but I would hazard a guess Stevo is on the money and the centres have been put in the wrong barrels, possibly. If the fronts fit with spacers and the rears stick to far out, it would certainly explain the issues. If you take the wheels off only (nothing else) and photo front and rear hub, hopefully we can get to the bottom of the problem. 1 Quote
BulletMagnet Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 That does make sense, when I had my barrels polished back, the guy did phone me up asking which centre was to to go on which wheel as they forgot to mark them before disassembly. So I reckon that's a good shout Quote
Jay Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I just hope you get it sorted bro! I Defo know these wheels have been on two 350z before they were on my 370! Quote
embrace Posted March 20, 2014 Author Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) thanks for the replies all. right here is what i have done. the eibach spacers have been fitted to the front wheels as without them the wheels would not clear the brembo brakes. the rears have no spacers fitted by me at all and there isnt anything fitted (that i can see), as if they did surely this would make it worse by pushing the wheel further out. i will swap the centers round at the weekend also to see if that makes a difference also would there be a left and right side to the centers? is this possible or would it not make a difference which side they were fitted? i will get the requested pics at the weekend with the wheels off, but here are the other pics that were requested previously cheers for your advice all Edited March 20, 2014 by embrace Quote

embrace Posted March 20, 2014 Author Posted March 20, 2014 Good shout. on your wheels mate, where the bulkier centers in the front or back as you had exactly the same wheels and offset didnt you? Quote
