Right now I am in Maine. I am getting wider wheels in the rear (from axis penta 8.5 (245/40/19) to 9.5) I have a 350z Revised drop

My 245/40's cleared the fender by a MM or two on a 35 offset....you think I can drive back down to NYC from Lewiston Maine on a 40 offset and 275/35's? (where I can then get my fenders rolled)? or should I get a smaller tire for my rear wheels.

these are my 245/40 on 35 offset(sorry for the bad pic)

 

will a +40 work out back?

 

Neal you going staggered?

 

i am asking you!@


yea, i am going staggard cause I got a dedicated winter set now for AWD on

 

i think +40 is a bit extreme, it sounds like it will def require fender rolling. my setup was conservative and it was +55. +45 sounds about right

 

+55?

neal is confuzled

my 35s where tucked in

 

ur 35s were 8.5, my +55 was 9.5
reference only

 

so ****ing confusing

 

First thing first...your tires are too fat if you want to go staggered on those wheels. Second, if I remember correctly...you have an AWD right? if so... I would not recommend going staggered. But if you still want to venture out here is what you need:

19x8.5 +35 with 245/35/19
19x9.5 +40 with 275/30/19 and slight fender roll. Your rear negative camber will help you clear it.

Idealy you want 19x9.5 +45 with 275/30/19

 

oh ****!!! i just remembered!!

I have a SPC camber arm adjustable in the rear!!!

I can just dial out the neg camb until I roll my fenders!!!

 

so Neal, r u driving with the AWD fuse pulled, or are u running staggered with the AWD on, i'm curious what would happen if u run staggered with the AWD on

 

with AWD fuse pulled


anyone chime in?

I will run Nitto Neo-Gens with Neg Camb -

sound good to anyone? I think it will look HAWT

 

Is it bad to run with the AWD fuse out all the time? I was thinking about doing this but I am not sure.

Also, do you lose power by doing this?

 

I thought the camber kits just pulled the bottom the wheel in to fix the camber. I don' think that will help the rubbing.

 

i think my vehicle is quicker with the AWD fuse pulled.


Ive been running w/o it for about a year now - no problems.
