Default 18x12 on 370Z

Anyone using an 18x12 rear and 18x10 up front on 370Z yet? I'm looking for this size and want to know proper offsets etc. Or do I have to go with custom built wheel?

I'd think you'd have to roll your fenders to make these fit your car.

^ j-city = your responses are borderline hillarious, though only car geeks
would laugh. if you post on other forums i'd like to know, as maybe
i could put together a blog with your greatest hits...

to better answer the op's question - i've seen people running as
big as 13" rears. to determine offsets i'd start searching and pm'ing
people running unique setups which fit your fancy. I'm pretty sure
you'd be fine running the standard +15 - +22 offsets in order to
clear brakes and such. you'll need to get an alignment and lower
the car w/ springs or coils to get it all to look right. might even
need a camber kit to dial it out correctly.

and yes, you'll prob need to roll your fenders (lol)

19x11 fits the front with a +18 offset, so I would say you are good

18x12 will work with no fender rolling necessary. You can also put a 305 on it all day.

Its all about offset. 18x12 +20-+25 no fender work necessary.
