19" wheel question

[Husky]

looking at this almighty spread sheet

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key= ... 5Rnc&hl=en

im trying to see if theres anything that would fit the zed i think the PCD is 114.5???? and there aren't any 114.5 in the table.

 

just checking cheers

[Stew]

It's 5 x 114 John.

[Husky]

It's 5 x 114 John.

im going nuts then cheers stew

 

no pun intended

[Jay]

Yup 5 x 114

 

What you thinkin of replacing them with mate?

[Husky]

im hunting around just now bud but im trying not to spend the money on penta's

 

another wheel noob question, i started using search but offset does give you a fair few results you knew this question was coming

 

19's

[shire350Z]

iv never been to clued up on offsets do i take it the lower the number the further out from the hub or......? what offsets are the nismo's? and what should i Zed be using

[Stew]

depends on width etc but general consensus is if it's +25 or under it's ok generally.

 

If you want it to look mean though you need to be in the teens.

[Husky]

would teens bring it further OUT to the arch ?

 

cheers

[Jay]

Yes it would husky, would give it a mean looking stance

[Husky]

cheers

Lower the number the more it sticks out. IMO somewhere around 20-25 is quite conservative, 15-20 is pretty agressive and lower than 15 is mad and mean

 

For reference my Rotas are +25 all round, but I think +20 all round would have been perfect in them

[shire350Z]

anyone know what the nismo's are then?

[Chris`I]

anyone know what the nismo's are then?

From what I can gather - ~25 on the front and ~20 on the rear

 

EDIT: Or they maybe +30 all round. Found them on Z1auto and there seem to be different specs you can get for the LMGT4s

[shire350Z]

so if i was buyng some new rims which were ~28 id need 15mm spacers

if you did i'd be gutted because i just got CS to send a set of 15mm spacers back to eibach i will maybe have some 10mm spacers though

[Chris`I]

Depends on the width of the wheel too. I'm no expert, but with the offset and spacer you want the overall offset to be about 20ish give or take a few mm and of course depending on your preference.

[shire350Z]

so with ~28mm offset a spacer of 15mm would bring it down to ~13 am i right in saying or not?

[Ian]

IMO a +12 offset sits about right Have a look at Nrenz car, he has that offset

get some pictures up

 

what offset does yours sit at ian

[Ian]

Mine are +22, I need to find someone local with 10,15,20 & 25mm spacers though so I can test them out & see how far I can go

[srobrien]

Mine are +20 rear and +15 front and the offsets looks perfect.

but what if i go up to 10" wide rims on the rear, do i still need a +15 offset?

yes

yes

Not sure its as easy as that, but yes, you keep roughly the same offset as wheels get bigger. Tehnically the offset should get larger numbers to compensate I think. Any good wheel vendor should be able to help with it. The main thing is to start of with the width and offset of a wheel you like and work it from there to make the ones you want to match

Depends if you want wheels that = win or wheels that = fail

 

+12 on a 10.5" wheel is perfect fitment (Awaits Docwra to say that anything above 0 is a failiure )
