I'm still looking for 18s to clear the Akebono's, found a couple but are slightly over my budget.

I did find a couple of sets that can be had either in 8.5 or 9.5" widths, but are 20 or 22 offsets. I like flush, but don't like them to stick out at all.

Thoughts are gladly appreciated.

Thanks.

You'll be poking out big time. Not flush at all.

 

He's not gonna poke with a 20mm offset. It'll be perfectly flush, take Marcus's ride and also Arcee's ride. They're both running the same wheel set up.

 

Thanks, guys. I've checked out a couple of rides and have seen some +20s that does seem to stick out. In any case, which Marcus and Arcee should i be looking for?

 

I have 9.5 +35 in the rear and it's perfectly flush. How is +20 not gonna poke?

 

Stretch + negative camber....

I also have a 9.5" +37 rear, and with regular tires (275/35/19) and around -1.5* of negative camber I would not want to go any lower in offset.

The 8.5" front with the +22 would be close. I really think the ideal "normal" offsets are around +30 on a 8.5" front, and +40 on a 9.5" rear. To go more aggressive, you really need to run more negative camber and/or stretch the tires....

 

Thanks, guys. I certainly don't want to have negative camber or even use stretched tires. On that note, i did find at least two sets that i can live with and will fit over the brakes, just have to make up my mind before either is sold.

 

I meant it will poke if you run normal tires and camber settings.

 

i was running 20x8.5 20mm offsets on the fronts and 20x10 40mm offset on the rears and they sat perfectly flush with the car lowered on H&R springs with neg camber and stretched tires



im now running 17x8.5 24mm offset fronts and 17x9.5 38mm offset rear with only a few mm difference. but the tires make it appear perfectly flush

 

19x8.5 27mm offset and 19x9.5 38mm with Eibach.No rub at all.(Rear -1.5 of negative camber)

 

Not sure how much help this is since I'm a first gen.

19 x 8.5 +15 / 19 x 9.5 +20

Its out of focus on this pic, but you can see that the rear wheel defintiely pokes a bit.

 

i have 30 offset in the rears with my 370z wheels and they stick out very little bit but go right under the fender when ppl are sitting back there. i know if i were to go 25 or so ill rub unless i dial in crazy camber.

 

20x10 +20 rear on eibach, no rubbing at all

 

You'll be fine with +20 on 8.5 and 9.5.

 

No rubbing cuz your tires are stretched. What size tires are they?

I personally don't like stretched look as much as meaty look on tires
as well as some other factors such as interference with the VDC.
