Man I really appreciate your video. It helped me pick out a size for my wheels on my 350z I was gonna go 8.5 front 9.5 rear because I was worried about fitment but now i think I’m gonna go 9.5 front 10.5 rear. The offset is what had me confused

[@benstoys8724]

NGARCIA350z _ no problem, glad my video was helpful.

[@raalstapleton9513]

Thanks a lot! great info

[@MrSardonycus]

Really nice. Mine are also going to be 9.5 front and 10.5 rear. But, I'm going to put my stock rear 245's up front and 275's in the rear. Those 295's in the rear look perfect. I'd like to go wider, but want to avoid traction control issues with my Genesis.

[@benstoys8724]

Your gonna have a bit of stretch with those tires. I originally had 255/40 front and 275/40 rear but wanted a beefier look. I haven't had any issues with my TCS since the tires are the same % shorter than stock. I'm gonna get 285/40 when I need rear tires...I'm wanting a taller rear tire.

FedEx dropped them off at 2 PM PST and I got them on this afternoon.. Like yours, my 10.5 is a little more concave than the 9.5 but you don't really notice. Really happy with the silver color against my dark gray car. You're right about the stretch- just a tiny bit stretched, but nothing I can't live with. Your also right about the quality of these wheels. They look way more expensive than they are.

[@jdings15]

hey man are those wheels good enough for casual driving? we have considerable potholes in my country, my avid.1 32 wheels bent over for a one, just wondering if these could be a little better How has it been for you? thanks

[@benstoys8724]

jorprz1 I didn’t have these for very long. They seemed to be good quality, but I didn’t care for the style of them once they were on the car. If you have bad potholes try running a slightly taller tire to help absorb the bumps.

[@jdings15]

yeah I'm going for taller tires and these wheels, thanks for the info

[@raalstapleton9513]

Hello Ben. Are your wheels on the stock suspension? I'm thinking of getting the 19" models but I'm worried about rubbing. My fenders were rolled by the previous owners so I don't have to worry about that but with the tire width you're running, would your wheels rub if your car were lower? I ask because I have Tein S-Tech springs that drop the car almost an inch. I'd appreciate any feedback you can give.

[@benstoys8724]

Yeah, you will probably rub. You can make it work, but you may have to get a slightly higher offset to clear the fender, or run a bit of camber or get smaller tires to have a stretched look. I don't like the stretched look and I like the OEM height, so it worked for me. 18" or 19" won't matter since your tire sidewall will just be smaller to compensate for the bigger wheel. Your gonna have to figure out what wheel width, offset and tire size you will have to use to get a good fit. Google "aggressive wheel and fat tire thread" there is a whole forum thread on my350z.com that has a TON of info (it's almost 300 pages long). Go on there and see what people are running. I would recommend getting nothing more aggressive that a 9.5" front and 10.5" rear and an offset no less that 22-25, with a little camber they should fit. Go on that forum, there is so much good info, and if your a nerd like me (I have almost gone through the entire thread so far) you will enjoy learning about wheels/tires

Are you on stock suspension looking at getting these wheels in black for my 350z

[@benstoys8724]

Asian And Friends yep, stock suspension.

[@rafaelrarg]

Hello, I got these exactly wheels, 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear. Would 295/35/18 work fine with these wheels?, any other size I should consider for the rear?, thanks.

[@benstoys8724]

Rafael Rodriguez check my other video...I run 275/35/18 front and 295/35/18 rear. No problems.

[@rafaelrarg]

Ben's 350z I'm gonna check it out, so what size are you using in this video ?

[@benstoys8724]

The same...look at the info for this video. I just did some more detailed shots in my other video.

[@rafaelrarg]

I found a good deal on two 295/30/18, do you think the will look fine in the car?

[@benstoys8724]

Rafael Rodriguez those are too small. Your speedometer will be way off and your TCS/VDC light will be constantly on cause the computer will think that your rear wheels are constantly turning faster than the front...it will think you are loosing traction/spinning the rear tires all the time.

[@starbwoyroahn]

i personalty think thats way too much tires but just my opinion

[@shadyshinichi2JZ]

4 tires seem to be just the right about of tires.
