#1486
thank you for the help..your actually the only one out of about 10-15 people that said go with +22..everyone says +12...
i thought about going with the +22 and then getting a 5 or 10mm spacer which would help me get flush without being stuck at +12 but i figured i could find someone to roll my fenders and then buy the +12 that way i know they will fit and wouldnt have to spend money on spacers which i dont feel safe using haha
but to answer 1 more..do you think it would look dumb to get +12's which will poke a bit and be lowered on s techs since i will have a finger gap?
(FYI: ill possibly be getting coilovers within a year so that gap will be non existent then)
and i know some will say just wait and save for coils but id rather get springs now just to satisfy my wheel gap disgust for now

You'll be happy with either offset and you won't have an issue fitting either of them.
does anyone know if you can mount 08 350z rear wheels on the front of a 03 sedan? it is lowered on Z h-techs
the wheel is 18x8.5 +33, I think it will fit, but I would hate to buy them and not be able to use them.. I was looking at buying a full set of rears, so I can rotate them.
for tire size, to keep close to stock rolling diameter I would probably do 245/45/18?

Lol I would love to get into fitment and I'm trying to get that stanced look but I want to do it without running some sick camber since I don't. Want to buy tires every 6 months...so I'm probably going with +12 and soon coils and hopefully have the no tire to fender gap I want....I'm coming from a 2g eclipse so I want to try something different with the G...I actually just bought my 245/35/19 for the fronts so I doubt ill be able to go +0 now..I think the guy running that setup is running 225 front and 255 rear(johnny I think)

That's johnnys old set up.
Dude, you can do it no problem without burning tires like crazy. Just make sure your toe is in spec.
1.
Buy the coils first, you can't get wheels to fit right without being as low as you want to go.
2.
Buy the 0 offsets, put that 245/35 you had for the front, on the back, buy a 225/35 and mount it on the front.
3.
Work your fenders a little and just roll natural camber on about a 2.5"- 3" drop. Wait about a week (if they are new coils) or less (if they are used) and get an alignment and tell them not to worry about the camber, just get the TOE to zero.
DONE

wow dude your awesome haha...now im super tempted haha i think Johnny ran Generals which i think run bigger..255 rear and 235 front but not sure if it was 35 series...it wouldnt be dangerous to stretch even more than his are on a possibly smaller tire?the 245/35/19s i bought for the front are continental contisport 2
and i know with the +12 i only have to roll the rear fenders...but if i get +0 would i need to work on the front fenders also??
i know you cant tell me how long a tire will last me with this setup since every tire is different but what do you guess a set of tires will last me if i run with the setup you told me with natural camber and get a toe alignment only in the rear(not getting front camber kit)

So im thinking about getting these TSW Vairano rims. I want to get 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the back.
What would need to be modified for the rears to work without any camber...or would I have to have camber?
And also what offset will I need to have for the front and back?
What tires would I need to look for too?
Here is what the rim looks like
Thanks in advance.

Johnny ran 35 series tires, you can smaller safely but it's not necessary to do so. I'm unsure how contientals run (large, small or true) so Look into that a little more.
Front fenders are pre rolled so it's rare you ever need to done with them and if you really do need to, then its very easy (with a fender finisher or phonebook)
With say -2.5 -3, You shouldn't have an issue getting 20,000k out of them if you flip them. Flipping as in, half way through their life, you take the driver side rear and put it on the passenger side rear and vice versa. That way the cambered side of the tire isn't in as much contact with the ground.
This is 20x11 -12 your set up will be 17mm less aggressive but this wheel is stretching a 235/35
His camber is about -3 if I recall and he had some room to play with the 235/35 (it was a test fit)
Therefore, you should be ok with the 275/30, -3 and go the rest of the way with fender work.
But you're stretching pretty aggressively for a flush set up...
As for photos check out the aggressive wheel thread.
1. You don't need to pull the fenders or even roll them with that offset.
2. You're running a mild stretch with the 235, you can run a much larger tire without issues.
What profile you looking for? I can probably find it for you.
It fits pretty wheel though, not stretched and nice and even with the wheel to tire.

Aim for the offset to be around +15 to +25 any higher and they will look sunken any lower and you may need some work to get them to fit.
Tires, 245/35 front and 275/30 rear would be my choice.
Other tires you can look into:
Falken 912
Falken FK452
General UHP
Federal Formoza etc.
Do you want an all season touring or a dedicated summer?
