Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

[ViR2]

i know it's been covered, but maybe someone has a pic of supra with z350 17' rims? I have just bought a set of chromed z wheels, but I cant find a decent picture of them on the car

What about 2006 350z Track edition wheels made by Rays? Track wheels are 18x9 front and 19x10 rear. +30 all the way around.

I thought I posted on this, but I guess not.

1) I think the whole stretched tire deal is not my idea of style.

2) Performance is what should direct style, and excessive negative camber, 225 tires on 10" wide rims and suspensions with no travel left is not performance in any way, shape or form.

That being said, there are quite a few rim/tire combo's on here with lots of performance potential.

I've found the best wheels and tires depends on what your goals are, but lighter wheels is never a bad choice if you have that choice to make.

Tirerack.com is a good place to look. Same goes for Discount tire. I bought my SSR Competition rims and tires from Tirerack. They are less than 20lbs each wheel, and the tires are Goodyeard Eagle GSD3's.. (Best rated summer and wet tire when I bought them.)

Here is how easy it is.
You call Tirerack.
You tell them you want wheels/tires for a MK4 TT fitment, but are going to use them on the MK3. (They will protest, and tell you that they will not fit.. Tell them to send you the right spacers for the hubs for the MK3, but size the wheels offset etc. for the MK4 TT.)

IIRC, the front tires are 255/35 18's and the rears are 295/30 18's and they do not rub. They don't look like clown wheels either.

And yes, they perform right. (And the BBK fits inside these wheels no problems.)

This is on Tokiko TEMS struts, and B&G lowering springs.

Thanks for youR valuable input.

This is the way Nissan engineers put the tire/wheel combo on it's Track edition 350z, which does not involve stretching.

Offset: +30mm
Weight: 21 lbs 4 oz
Tire: Bridgestone RE050A 245/40/18

Rear
Size: 19x10.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 29 lbs 8 oz

They look great, but I have 17' wheels, do they fit right? I guess they are also +30 in front and +33 in back, or maybe +33front / +35back (cant remember exactly)

If you have the 350z 2003-2005, 17-inch Base/Enthusiast wheels, this is your wheel configuration, which will fit well in the Supra:

Front
Size: 17x7.5
Offset: +30mm

Rear
Size: 17x8.0
Offset: +33mm

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

Anyone know how well these dimensions would fit ?
17x8 +10
17x9 +14
This offset shit is killing me lately.. loll. What would be an ideal fitment for 17x8 on front, and 17x9 on rear?
I plan on running a 255 on the front and a 275 on the rear.

 

[Wiisass]

I don't think you're going to be able to fit those size tires on those wheels without pulling the fenders. I have 9.5+12 in the back with a 235/40 and there isn't too much more room for a bigger tire. You could probably fit the 9+14 with a 255, maybe 265. And then 8+10 with a 235/245. But that depends on ride height, camber and how much you're willing to beat your fenders.

But look through the thread, I'm sure someone else is running a similar size.

You'll be fine without rolling.

Thanks for the reply mate!

For the 17x8 + 10, you'll have to roll your fender and go with a smaller tire, around 225

For the 17x9+14, you'll have to roll the fender and perhaps go with a smaller tire around 255

This thread got massive! and I may have missed it, but does anyone have any info on what wheel/tyre combos work well for drag racing?

Slicks or DR's and ideally a 15" rim :1zhelp:

Whats the biggest slick that will fit please?

 

[The1]

OK..i was just browsing and looking and I don't know how many has seen 9DMK3T car but I like how 16's look on the lowered car...am I just wack or is it the norm for us to move up in size..

Now that I think about it....I just might get some 16" wheels....it's different...::w00t:: for me!!!

 

[zigspeed10]

I can finally add to this thread. Here's what I got
18X8 +30 with 235/40 in front
18X9.5 +45 with 255/40 in rear

To me this is about as flush as I could get without rolling my fenders.

 

[tookwik4u89]

Has anyone dealt with, heard anything about tiresbyweb.com

 

[Solo1Supra]

I was looking around on tirerack.com and I saw one wheel I liked. Too bad it was +40 offset 17".

 

[honestabe]

Quick question. My rear wheels (17x10 +28) stick out about 1/2 and inch. What would I need to do in order to tuck them inside the wheel well that's not ghetto.

[BorHor]

What is ghetto? Some camber? uhh since you just bought new tires i am going to assume you are not going to get skinner tires.. You can also try getting shine auto over fenders.

 

[honestabe]

I dunno what ghetto would be in this department as I am new to the aftermarket wheels setup. Should I add or take away camber? I'm not modding the body (yet).
