I can get a set of Racing Hart C4 wheels made to my specs.
I prefer to stick with 18" as my tyres are near new and the car handles fine for my purposes (have a set of comp rubber for track)
What i need to know is what are the best offsets to specify F/R if I stick to 8/8.5" or 8.5/9" widths.
Would like it to fill out the fenders but with plenty of clearance.
Like the staggered look but not too extreme as I'd like the front wheels to have a reasonable lip on them.
Your expert advice appreciated
Cheers
Chris

 

Good taste




Racing Hart recommends 19x9 with +26 offset for the front, and 19x10.5 with +22 offset for rear. I say they're wrong to recommend 19x10.5 with +22 offset for the V35. It should be 19x10 +22 for the rear because that 1/2 inch makes it difficult to lower the car without rubbing the fenders. They recommend the same size for 350Z.

My wheel setup:
Front - 19x9 +26 with 245/35/19 - 1.25" lip
Rear - 19x10 +19 with 275/35/19 (custom offset) - 3.25" lip

When I asked Racing Hart to make me the size I wanted (19x10 +22), they said it would take about 6 months. How long will it take for yours?

If you're going to with 18's, what are the size of your tires? Based on my wheel specs, I think it's safe for your offset to be between +22 to +26 for the fronts, and +20 to +26 in the rear. Keep in mind the lower the offset, the bigger the lip.

It's not expert advice...just my .02 cents. You should call Racing Hart and ask them what setup they recommend for 18" C4's.

 

sick wheels........what happend to the Blitz wheels??

 

G How long did it take to get yours with the custom offsets?

 

When I asked Racing Hart for 19x10 +22 rears, they said it would take forever and a day. So my stupid vendor sent me 19x10 +17! They fit outside the fender well, and would have definitely rubbed. So I took them to a wheel repair/machine shop and they increased the offset by shaving down the mounting surface on the rims. They were only able to increase it by 2 or 3 mm. Any more and they would have jeopardized the structural integrity of the wheel. So that's my custom offset 19x10 +19 or +20 .

Oh, and I don't think I ever had Blitz wheels

 

Firstly they were a pain to clean.
Secondly down here it is hard to find a tyre wide enough and tall enough to fit 18x9.5" wheels. The tyres just looked too small (265/35-18s)

 

Whereee do u get these rimsss
