Default imagine putting these offsets on an SC!

veilside evolution rims up on the BAY as i write this.

19x9.5, +24 5x114.3 (80mm lip)

19x12.0, +18 5x114.3 (120mm lip)


if you had an offset of 18mm on rear wheels? these definately wouldn't fit but what about with like some 20mm spacers?

Default offsets

I saw this car in one of the magazines I have. It's a widebody 350Z. I love the wheels, they look sweet. Those offsets are too aggressive for our car. They might work on the SC430 but even then it's stretching it. Our car comes with 50 offset. These are just too low. I'd be concerned about safety issues with offsets that aggressive. Any mechanics here that can tell us the potential harm offsets like these could cause...if any.

just rubbing the fender well... perhaps eventaully chewing through the plastic inner fender well and damaging some wiring harnesses.

huh?! with 20mm spacers? you think the wheels aren't stuck out enough? with 20mm spacer, the offset of the wheels will become -2mm....

break some wheel studs, and cause your wheel bearings to go bad

no fun
