Offsets etc...

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me what kind of offsets would be required on rims for the coupe WITH Brembos?

Also, what would be the ideal tire widths for front and rear?

Re: Offsets etc...

Any knows the correct offset if im going to upgrade to 19" wheels? I heard that if you are going to change the suspension later let say to coil-over i might need a different offset is this true? I would like to change my stock 17" to 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear.

Re: Offsets etc...

I should've mentioned that earlier...I was hoping for 19s also.
Would 9.5 be too wide for the back or not?

Re: Offsets etc...

I read that alot of 350Z owners have 9.5 in the rears with no problem at all. I guess we can do the same setup cause the coupe is really like the z.

FYI: My dealer said he has a guy who put 20x12 on the rear..... so 9.5 is going to easily make it. I would go with 10 in the rear if possible. The rear wheel well is gigantic.

Re: Offsets etc...

So just to make sure, if I go with 19s
8.5 front, 9.5-10 rear, with offsets greater than 30, there "should" be no rubbing and no problems clearing the brembos?

Re: Offsets etc...

I have 20's w/ 8.5 ... 245/35/20 no rubbing what so ever. You have to make sure you get the right offset on this car. I don't know the correct offset, but make sure you get the right one. Because if you don't.... the wheel isn 't going to line up w/ the wheel well properly. And you might need to go w/ the spacers route, but if you get the right offset, then you don't have to worry about jack......
