well I put my boy's 20x10" TSW's on my sedan with the 350z H&R springs installed



downfall is that they rub way too much. so at least now i know i can't get a 10" wide wheel even with a different offset. it was a fun experience just to test it out.




also got a nice pics of the old alti thanks to neal376







btw-- NOT A IC

 

Yeah 20x10's will fit if you roll or cut your fenders and get the right offset. I have +43's, 275/30/20's and rolled fenders with no rubbing at all.

 

+1. that offset and tire look way too agressive. what are the specs?

 

i know 20x10 will fit on a stock height but remember i have the H&R 350z Race Springs on my sedan. The offset was from a coupe so I'm figuring about a 28-30 offset which yes it stuck out way too much. I might just stick with a 9.5" wheel and 255/30/20 tires

 

I also had 20X10 with a +42 offset on 275's lowered on stock 350z springs with NO roll and NO rubbing

 

stock 350z springs and aftermarket H&R 350z springs are different

 

yea I hear ya, but a drop is a drop. Either way when you drive your bound to hit bumps that will make your wheels tuck under the fenders. If I dont rub then, I dont see it rubbing with any other springs. The only way camber would change is with a camber kit. When the suspension moves its going to always be cambered at the same ponits.

 

yes that is true but since i already sit at a lower ride height my camber does sit a few degrees more than your car probably. i'm still working on test and play with the 10 inch wheel with again a higher offset like 42mm+ which you and most people on the staggered set up have but finding a nice lightweight 20" wheel is going to be an issue too.

 

haha, at least in the price range that we want right........

 

Well, I have seen too many people saying that a drop will make it rub/ or not...
Let me try to clear this concept (my 2 cents only...correct me if any experts think i am wrong):

1) Suspension is designed to travel in such a way that when the shocks are compressed, the rotational plane of the wheel will tilt, which is known as negative camber.

2) When you give ur ride a drop with whatever springs, you are just limiting or shortening the supension travel while changing the static equilibrium ride height to a lower level, but you are not really changing the way the suspension travel. Thus, if a wheel is going to rub (say it hits a big bump, and the wheel travels up and hit the fender), it will rub whether it is on a stock ride height car or if it is on a lowered car

3) Yet, you might hear some opposite theory saying that: "this set of wheel and tire combo fit on a dropped car but NOT on a stock car..". This is indeed PARTIALLY TRUE, however, be very careful that the wheel / tire combo clears the fender not because of the drop...but because many people install an adjustable camber kit... and gave it MORE camber ...to clear the OUTER FENDER

Please notice also that when it is the inner wheel well that rubs against the wheel/tire, negative camber will worsen it.....while a rubbing against the outer wheel well might be cured or helped by a more agressive negative camber

Disclaimer: just my 2 cents

 

you can go with 9.5" +43 to +45 with 275/30/20 and it will fit perfectly fine.

 

can you roll fenders to increase clearance?

 

rolling the fenders will help so it won't rub onto the body of the car. one big bump especially how bad the streets are here in NY and plenty of parts will break

 

bahahah, kenny you didnt see it!!



da mayor drove off with the 10inch wheels in the back (which STICK out, forget about rolling fenders) he drove up...maybe a 3 degree incline at about 15 mph and his tires started smoking .

the offset was waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much




I got 19x8.5 on revised 350z suspension and I got some rubbing. nothing noticible, the inner fender puts slits in the tire. Eventually I have to have them rolled

 

If you are slitting the tires, you better roll soon. Mine were just lightly rubbing about 1/8" inch of the fender lip taking away some layers of paint.

Just rent the fender roller from BIGSASH for $40, its well worth it.
