Default Will 19X9.5 +25 and 10.5 +24 fit/?

This is typical 350Z offsets. My rear fender lip has been shaved, front lip rolled. Currently slammed on 20's usingTein Flex. Planning to run 215-225 upfront and 245 up back. Any ideas?

You are going to need to pull the rear/camber, and the front will need a bit of a pull.

yes it will. you should be able to get away with a 235 up front. I had a 19x9.5 +35 with a 245. Lowered all the way down on SS with 1 perch removed. I still could have used a 10-15 mil spacer.

Default Sweet!

However, does the back need to be pulled or can I just use camber to tuck with a stretched tire?

Shave the fender as much as you can and put a 245 in the rear. Then if you lower it enough camber should take care of it. Great offsets for the GS.

I was rocking a 10.5 +24 w/ a shaved rear. very shaved and whatever camber from the drop. I think I would rub a little on hard bumps. So just add a little camber or a little roll to the fender and you should be ok. The Flex's have a stiffer spring rate so you may be ok w/o added camber or pull. Plus you have a lower drop than SS or if anything lower it a bit more to clear the fender.

i also have a 10.5 +24 and you shouldnt have any probs with a 245 and shaved quarters. id rock 225's up front since youre rolled.

Default Sik!!

You guys rock! Thanks for the quick responses. I might even consider rocking a set of Work Meister 20X9.5 and 20X10.5 25 offset all the way around. Stay tuned.......

I don't know how the 20's would work but those widths and offset would be nice.

Take it to Platinum VIP. They have done up to -8 degrees on a 20x12.

Ask for Kennedy or Javier (626)472-7847
