NO Dis to you man but do you know anything about rims, wheels and offset. So much can make a huge difference.

Yup, I had my fenders rolled and the paint cracked inside the fender. You can't see it but only feel it.
Not a big deal, I just sealed it with some glue.

You can reduce/eliminate this buy using a heat gun/ hairdryer while rolling the fenders. Be patient if you're doing it yourself. If you're paying to get it done, see if they can assure you that the paint won't crack.

What offset and tire size are you going with.

Ehhh the only dummy is you...

Are you advising us or asking us?

Their is no reason to roll the fenders with those sizes. It won't rub.

I have 19x8.5+15 and 19.9.5+20, and I have no rubbing at all. Your +23 rear will be close, but should fit, and your fronts are good without a doubt. My car is lowered, too. If your car is not lowered, you have nothing to worry about.

I have the same offset and wheel in the back as you, with the same tires.

You can get away with it definitely. I lowered my car with Eibachs and I still have clearance but I'd imagine if I cornered REAL hard it'd definitely rub.

I rolled my fenders in anticipation of putting on wider rubbers somewhere down the line though. You should be fine if you stick with those toyos in that size, and do a moderate drop.

Did I call somebody a dummy? I don't think I did infact I think I said "no Dis" but I see your an ******* so I might as well call you a dummy, dummy. This is a forum and I think the idea is to ask questions. Its dumb ******** like you that make forums like this bad. Fellas thanks for the info, I was able to get 9.5 or 10.5 in the rear and when I ran the numbers and did some calculations along with madd searches on this forum I saw that it would be close and wasnt sure if the drop would make me have to roll the fenders. Bryan from 350onlinestore was really broke it down and said it will look sick and will not rub. With that being the case and the knowledge from the forum I went with the 8.5 fronts and 10.5 rear.

Uhh, i was just playing with you. The smiley was put on to mean in a friendly way. It seems like you were advising us rather than asking us if you had to roll the fenders. Sorry you took it personal. Oh right you're from Jersey, that says it all.

Chill out man... Nice new rims by the way. ****.

I drive my car so hard that I got my NISMO LMGT4 with 275/40/18 with BFG KDW's (stiff side wall) to flex and rub on the fender... So I wasnt going to take chances with these...

Here is a picture of the same rims installed on a car at stock height... same rims / tires...














Here is mine from similar angles fully slammed...

Some of you are truly uninformied when it comes to wheel fitment not knowing anything outside of wheels other then the diameter when width, offset, tiresize, fender, camber is the MOST important aspects of a wheel unless you are running some battleship wheel which would be a bad idea to put on a Z anyway.

I can't really understand what you're trying to say, but the mechanics that go into what wheel works best on a particular car are quite complex. Just 'making it fit' is easy, but choosing a wheel/tire combination that creates a stable well handling car as the engineers designed it would take an engineering-level understanding of both the car and it's suspension and tire mechanics. I know I don't understand it all, but I would love to have the time and the money to go out to the track with 6 or 8 different sets of wheels and tires and play with the handling differences of each set.
