All stretches are streetable dude.

If you look at the spec sheets for LXZ, it actually gives you all your brake clearances.

If I recall, WS-Lo is high brake clearance and the other is minimal brake clearance.

You could run 20x10 +6 and 20x11 +6.

Your car will be able to handle a 10mm spacer easily front and back and that will definitely give you a nice clean amount of poke and you can retain stock body.

Tires I'd say 235/35 front and 255/35 rear.

I have on order a set of TSW Snettertons that are 20x8.5 +20 Front and 20x10.0 +25 in the rear. I'm dropped on Tanabe Sustec Coils (non-adjustable damper) with OEM Brembos. I'm not looking to go completly flush, I just do not want the sunken in look. In addition, I'm trying to avoid having the sidewalls of the tires sitting at a 90 degree angle or buldging as I'm not a fan of that look. What tire size do you recommend for the fronts and the rear? Would I need spacers on these offsets?

hello guys. I found a good deal on some Black SSr Professor Sp1's and need some advice. I have an 06 OB 6mt Sedan lowered on 350z s techs. The specs for the wheels are as follows


Rear: 19x10 +37 w/ huge tires that i won't use
Front: 19x9 +31 w/ new 255/35/19 that i would probably swap to the rear wheels instead or keep on the front.
Would a 255/35 look dumb on a 10 inch wheel in the rear if i'm not slammed?

edit: what size tire should i run up front if i decide to put the 255's out back? Also, I don't think i will need any fender work as i am not slammed, but let me know if i do.


Thanks,
Marty

I'd go 10mm spacer front and back.

Are you saying you want to stretch the tires? Or you just don't want them over hanging the lip of the wheel?

Ideal setup would be 245/35 and 265/35 But you could run 235/35 and 255/35 if you don't want the wheel to have a broad shoulder. Depends on the tire as well though... Let me know and I'll lend you a hand.

The guy is asking $1600 and they are in great shape. Is that too much to pay? Would a 255/35 look dumb on a 10 inch wheel in the rear if i'm not slammed?

here is a pic of one of the wheels

Marty, buy those immediately. That is a retarded deal, those wheels are worth about $1100 a piece.

You can run the 255/35 on the back no problem and not look weird at all, Then put a 235/35 up front. I would suggest going lower than you are for that tire size but it's not necessary.

BUY THEM.

yeah i will save up for some coils and rear toe bolts/camber kits. then i will slam it and go flush with spacers and fender work with the wheels for a semi aggressive look.

would i need any fender work on the rear with the 10 +37 and the 255/35 tires?

thanks 4dgs. ever decide on those lights? still got them sittin in my front porch. lol

and i meant streetable as in a nice stretch, but no barrel lol. i like my 245/35 on a 10 stretch. the fronts are ever so mild with 225/35 on a 8.5 lol.

i saw their chart but it just started giving me a headache. haha. wonder how the numbers would change if i did the akebono swap.

Still on the fence about them lol so much **** going on with my car at the moment.

Yea their charts always suck.

With 15mm spacers and the specs I mentioned you won't have any problem clearing Akebonos.

the 235/255 stager is nice, slightly more than what you have now, but not retarded. Looks like you're running FKs? don't they run small and bubble. Buy those sizes in General UHP and they will run slightly larger, last longer and stretch better.

BUY THEM.

The 255's that are on the wheels now are BFGoodrich g-force T/A KDW. Should i buy the same brand for the front 235s? Also, what lugs should i consider, or is that not really an issue?

Also, if i wanted to go flush, what size spacer should i use or is there a chart or something i can reference?

Don't have to buy the same tires, BFGs are expensive as hell.

Just make sure the tire runs similar to the BFG (small true or large)
Here's a list of tries that run large just like the Gforce.
* Continental Contisport
* BF Goodrich g-Force KDW
* General UHP
* Bridgestone S03
* Kumho SPT
* Federal ss595
* Pirelli P-Zero Line
* Goodyear F1 Line
* Cooper Zeon 2XS
* Kumho Ecsta Supra 712
* Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta
* Proxes T1R
* Wanli S-1099
* Nitto Invo
* Wanli S-1088
* Marshall Power Racer
* Kumho Ecsta AST

You'll be pretty flush with those offsets, hence why I told you to hop on them quick.

If you want to poke though, you'll need 20mm spacers and different tires (and coils to pull off the look)

But to be flush, you'll probably be happy with where they are and maybe add a 5 or 10mm later on down the road.

If I were to powdercoat my rims with a lot of curb rash, would that fix the majority of the curb rash, or will it only change the color?
