rim fitment...hella flush? lol

[92dsmgst]

Lookin at a set of XXR 502's, they are 18's. Staggered fitment, 8.5" for the front, and 9.5" in the rear. Wondering if some could throw me some ideas about what the fitment would be like, clearance issues and what not. the wheels have a +35mm offset. Heres the link for better reference... 18 Gold XXR 502 Wheels G35 G37 Coupe 350z Staggered RX8 : eBay Motors (item 360252749304 end time Apr-23-10 20:51:22 PDT) . btw im rockin a 1991 talon awd, currently sitting on stock suspension. thanks!!

Lol I woke up to this text from you. I say, no chance for the rears to fit at all . And if they are hub-centric to the z/g35 hubs, you will need to get them bored out to fit your hubs. I had to do that for the stock z wheels I got. Pain. In. The. Dick.

choosing rims is harder than picking a childs name i imagine....

You aren't supposed to run staggered fitments on AWD. If you want to buy somewhat Hellaflush wheels buy some Rota's. You can order them in 18X9 which is the max that fits on our cars.

yeah i can stand pickin rims.... its so tough to get the perfect offset good rim size... blah blah blah...


yeah most awd's dont really run an offset.

If you run a staggered set you are going to destroy your drivetrain, heck AWDs need all the tires to have the same tread depth or the drivetrain is negatively affected. The offset is just to much for the rears I don't see those working. I have seen wheels wider than that on an eclipse but they had wide body kits on them. My advice, stay away from those wheels they will give you a very big headache!

Staggered wheels could look good if done right. Sure you want to keep the same diameter and width, but you could mess with backspacing. You could get a lower backspace on the rear creating more lip on the rear than on the front.

I don't know if 1Gs are the same, but on a 2g the front wheels need a higher backspacing to be flush than the rears do. Trying to find wheels with the correct backspacing to get that look might be a pain.

yeah, its just so much to take into consideration. plus im ordering rims more than likely, and i want to be sure they fit before i order them..

Just seen this thread and you can fit 18x9.5" +35. I'm running them at all four corners.

BTW I forgot to mention those wheels are not Hellaflush no matter how hard you try.
