Bump!!

 

Alan was this the chart you were looking for:

 

posting here too, just wondering if 8.5 offset +30 up front and 9.5 offset +38 in the back will work on the sedan?

 

9.5 +42 is the least offset number you can do for the rear. I have got 9.5" +42, 2+ inch drop AND a 2.25 degree neg camber, and the wheel fits perfect. Anything more extreme just cans be fitted.

As for the front, with near-0 neg camber, 8.5 +37 wors great , with still a little bit of room for expansion. I think if oyu do 8.5 +30 WITH 1.5-2degrees of neg camber, it might work

hth

 

I think +30 might be too much. I am doing 8.5 +35 with Eibach springs and it looks like I am pushing it a bit. As Gurgen mentioned, with some negative camber and maybe smaller width tires, you can make it work. I am using 245/40R19's.

 

So after studying the Sedan Fitament Chart. I think I want to be on the conservative end of the spectrum with 18x8F +40 and 18x9R +40,which should fit with no problems. I'd like to run 245/40F and 275/35R to be able to run a decent all season performance tire with good mileage characteristics.

Any thoughts from the Gurus ?

 

Wow, I had been searching for a while before I found this.

I'd like a staggered aggressive stance with 19's. I currently have the OEM 18's. I take it 19x9 +45 is good for the rear? I am a little confused about the front though. Without any suspension modification I am assuming 19x8 +33? Does sound about right?

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

King of all sedan wheel threads...

Any one run a 295 30 19 on the rear of a sedan? I am considering Toyo R888s on my 19x9.5 +49 wheels. I am not opposed to rolling the fender lip flat if needed.

 

I am planning on widening 350z Track Edition Rays 18x8" +30mm offset front wheels to 10" or 10 1/2" to run on rear of my 2004 Sedan.

10" wide will, I believe, give me a +49mm offset.
10.5" will give me +55mm offset.
Does anyone know if either of these sizes will fit OK on a sedan?

I'm lowered about 1 1/2" and have rolled rear fenders. I know the wheels will fit OK on the outside/fender side because they fit fine now and the outside won't change, I'll be adding 2"-2.5" to the inside.

Will the inside clear the suspension if I go to 10 1/2" +55.4mm?
How about 10" +49mm?

I've looked at the Sedan wheel fitment chart, it looks to me that 10 1/2" with +55mm offset should clear the suspension by ohhh... about 0mm, to the wheel.

Based on this I'm thinking 10" should be ok but that 10 1/2" won't be. Can anyone confirm or invalidate this?

I'm going to be tracking the car with 285/30/18 Hoosier R compound road racing slicks on the widened wheel.

I'm also going to go out and measure from my current wheels inside edge to the suspension but that's not exact science either unless I remove the spring and check throughout the full range of motion. (Which ultimately I guess I probably had best do before I send out my Rays to be welded.)

Before anybody takes this off topic onto the subject of the wisdom of widening wheels please review other threads on the topic here and on my350z.com. I would like to keep this thread on topic which is fitment.

I have searched and read the thread. I see no mention of 10.5" wheels either fitting or not fitting SEDANS, though maybe I missed it.

 

Having remeasured everything, I found that there is only 11.25 inches from shock to rolled fender. Well, my 245's on 8.5" wheels measure about 9.8" wide so three is NOT a lot of room to spare.

That rules out using my Hoosier 285/30/18s as they have a section width of 11.5 in. They wont fit, not without seriously modifying the fenders, which is not in my game plan.

A 275 might barely fit but it will certainly be really close. It would have only about 0.3" clearance on each side if the offset is JUST right. In Hoosiers the 275 has a section width of 10.7 in. A 255 has a section with of 10.6 in and a tread width only .5 inches narrower. The 255 fits on the stock 8.5" Track Edition Rays wheels.

Suddenly widening the wheel doesn't look so smart. If it's not to carry a bigger tire, there isn't much point. If I keep it as is, I can mount a 255 in the rear on the 8.5" wheel, and a 245 in front on the 8" wheel, if I want to.

If I widen the rear, I can go to 9.5", maybe 10". That might let me fit a 275, but then it might rub, or limit camber adjustment. The front could then go to a 255. So, in conclusion, for $500 plus the cost of getting new racing tire sizes (x hundred $s and time spent searching for used) I could step up the rear tread width by about 0.7" and the front by 0.5". That's a lousy return on investment.

I thought there was room to go up in size a lot more, as there is plenty of room to go wider in the G35 coupe and 350Z. Bummer.

 

Nice one GEE35X Whats with all the old links getting broken in the tread??

 

I've been getting bomb'd with PMs as to the where about of the wheel fitment chart. Well, the original attachments were destroyed when the site went through an overhaul several years ago. So here it is again ... hope it can help many more people out there.

Note: It is accurate for model year 2003 thru 2006. I have not done further research since, so cannot vouch for it's application with model 2007 and beyond.

Also note some coilover systems will significantly reduce the inside-rear clearance. Check or be sorried.

 

Thanks for the great information!

Did you include the 10" wheels with offsets because they CAN actually fit? Or have you shown what the fitment looks like in theory?

 

The different size wheels were thrown in there as points of reference. Nothing more, nothing less. There's little to NO chance the 10-inch wheel would work ... still gotta add additional clearance for tire, neg. camber AND suspension travel.

 

Thanks. That's consistent with what I've found so far on the subject. I've read of 275 section tires on 9 1/2" wheels being successfully fitted, 9 1/2" is plenty for 275's and 285's are simply too big to fit in the wells so it seems that's the limit for putting wide rubber in th rear. Unlike the coupes and 350z's there just isn't a lot of scope.
