Question on Brembo/Big Brake Clearance
I bought these rims for my 350z w/ brembo brakes that i used to have. Havent been able to sell the rims and was wondering if they will fit my 05 TL. I am willing to roll my fenders...
In this link https://acurazine.com/forums/showpos...8&postcount=16

it is said that a 9.5in wide rim (w. according drop) and a +25 offset would like that. That is exactly same size as my rim but i think my tire would look a little bit larger than that, BUT everything fits there... Im jsut trying to save myself the trouble AND money of selling these and buying new rims. Any input would be great appreciated. Thx

MAKE OF WHEEL: Rota
MODEL OF WHEEL: G Force (Gunmetal)
FRONT SIZE AND OFFSET: 18x8.5in & 48mm
REAR SIZE AND OFFSET: 18x8.5in & 48mm
TPMS YES/NO: Yes
SPACERS YES/NO, WHAT SIZE: None
TIRE SIZE: Any recommendations? I do lots of highway driving so don't want a super soft tire....something that lasts long and has good traction.
no, you want a lower offset between +45 and +35
245/40-18 size tire is fine, falken 912 is my favorite all season tire, dunlop direzza for summer

well here is the deal... if you run those wheels you will need a 215 tread width... and roll your fenders all the way around, the problem I speak of is rolling the front fenders... the transition from front fender to front bumper will look like this < rather than = when you roll it...

would a 18x8 with a +37 offset (ssr LM) with 255-45-18 tire fit on the front with a 3 (maybe a tad more) inch drop work without pulling and rolling?
if i have to pull and roll i might as well bump up to a 8.5 wide, what size tire would you suggest to slap on there then?
also, 18x9.5 (same wheel) and i am guessing a +37 offset still (maybe dif? idk you tell me please haha) fit on the back or would i need to roll them bad boys?
if it matters, i am sitting on D2 coilovers on my 04 TL
thanks alot man! i know i have asked you about another wheel on this thread before
thanks so much for your help dude!

06 TL
Auto trans stock brakes
lowered 1" via comptech
Ingalls adjustable lower control arms and camber to spec.


Question is will a 18 x 8.5 with an offset of +35 and 235/40/18 be ok on the back without having to roll the fenders?

Front should be fine I think

Did you have the adjustable control arms installed or were your wheels tipped with camber?

there is one tiny spot in teh front fenders that will rub it is just before the fender and bumper meet, the part has a tiny protrusion, if you dremel that area off you can go lower and not rub ;0)

Well thats where my concern is .. the camber he had with no control arms and that much drop might have given him the clearance needed ... mine used to tip in at the top but now they don't with the camber kit installed.

Ok .. my camber is

LR - 1.07
RR - 1.09

Which means my wheels will sit a lot closer to vertical ...

that will fit with plenty of room to spare, you can run up to 255/40-18 actually without needing to modify the camber specs

ps. verified by me, jguerra, milk man, firstacuratl... they all are running 18x9 +40 all around... good luck

Great thank you .. I'll order the 9" to get the extra lip .. I don't think it will stretch a 235 too far ..

Sorry to bug you again .. just found out a little more info on the 9" wheels

The 9" turns out to be an offset of 35 not 40 and it looks like from what I can see the 9" puts the lip of the wheel out 3/4" more than the 8" so its meaning 1/2 the 1" increase is is on either side of center and the offset also moves it out another 1/4".

Is this extra 1/4" going to cause rub issues based on the info ( camber etc ) supplied in the above posts.

Trying to use logic here

Correct me if I'm wrong ( and I've been known to be ) In the TSW Nogano wheels I 've been talking about TSW gives the specs on the 18 x 8 as a +40 offset and a lip of 2". The 18 x 9 as a +35 offset and a lip of 2 3/4".

My feeble brain based on these numbers says that the mating surface of the hub has moved .5 mm ( 1/4") pushing the wheel lip outwards to the fender that amount.

The wheel width difference of an inch based on the lip spec puts about 1/2" on either side of center putting the lip another 1/2" closer to the fender. Thus the 3/4" difference in lip between the 8" & 9".

BUT running the 235 that I am currently running in theory on the 9" rim is only going to move the total face of the tire tread out 1/4" because the tire will be centered on the 9" rim and the 1/2" on either side of center will be "stretch" at the bead. I assume rubbing issues are contact between the tire tread edge and not the rim itself? Correct?

I'm still going to call TSW back again to see if I can get the dimention from the lip to the hub mating surface... from this I will be able to tell where the edge of the lip will be in relationship to the fender and how it compares to my current 18 x 8s.

Sorry for the multi & long posts but I'd like to run the deeper lip but have no local place to look and the vendor won't take the wheels back if I order and don't even mount them.

Ahh, I just woke up so I'm not thinking right now buttttt I think you're asking how much further out the 18x9 will be compared to 18x8? Well it's about 6mm for every half inch in diameter, plus the difference in offset. So for 18x8 +40 compared to 18x9 +35, it will move out about 17mm-18mm. With that said, on a 9, 235/40/18 should sit with a slight stretch and SHOULD fit fine, most likely won't need a roll but don't quote me on that.

Thanks for the help Stillhere .... I called TSW yesterday about the 9" ones and they said .. Won't fit .. I actually wonder if they really just use a stock answer if they don't know ...

I also asked for the measurement from a straight edge laid across the lip through the spoke to the surface that mates to the hub and they said they didn't have it. I'm going to call again Monday to see if I can pressure them into getting the measurement.

send milk man a pm

he is running, 18x9 +40 front on 245/40-18 and 18x9 +35 rear on 245/40-18

fyi I ran 18x9 +25 all around on 245/40-18 no rub (maximum negative camber in rear, rubbed slightly, went up to +33 never had a problem then)
