16x8 + 20, 225/50/16 will they fit?

[Justen]

Just wondering if anyone has this on their 280z. The car has coilovers and is lowered extremely low but I can always adjust it.
Its stock fenders but I'm okay with putting fender flares, if I can go a meatier tire I will.

This is is my ssr longchamps, and the other set i want to use is xxr.

i have 16x8 0 offset with 225-50-16 and the car is lowered about 1"   no rubbing yet after about 125 miles

So I would assume the wheels I'm trying to do will stick more towards the fender compared to yours.

no, positive offset moves the wheel in, towards the brake drum. negative offset moves the wheel out towards the fender

245/35/16 with a light lip in the rear. GC coilovers sitting at 5.75 inches at the front rocker

This debate comes up every so often.  Some say they rub some say they don't.  I run 225's in my '76 280z and they rubbed in the front and back.  Fixing the valence was easy but the back still rubbed even after I rolled the fenders.  My car is lowered about 1.5" and I had 0 offset.  I cut the fenders and put on flares.  Honestly, I sometimes wish I hadn't.  You could easily get by with a pair of sticky 205's.  I believe that's what Eiji from Datsun Spirit runs on his white z.  That car has more than 300 hp and goes 0-60 in 4 seconds or so.  I know, I drove it.

I took the back rear flat edge and cut the inner portion every half inch then rolled out the flat portion to form a lip. Some FG on the inside and a bit on the edge was all that was needed to complete the mild flare without making a radical change to the exterior appearance.

Prior to doing so I took the spring off and found that running 2.25 inch negative camber allowed the wider wheels/tires to tuck up nicely.

Thank you everyone for their replies. It gave me enough info to figured out how to set up my wheels.

Yep - this topic has been beat to death- so let the beatings continue!

17x8.5" +4 offset . 225 will BARELY rub if I bottom out over a bump full fuel and cargo. What rubs is the inner arch rear quarter which can only be altered with flares. Same wheels with +10 offset I bet I could get 245's not to rub, but you would have to run spacers up front ( this is with stock spring diameter , lowered 1.5")
