12 inch wide rims..mmm : )
i came across a set of work equips that measure 18x10 +0 and 18x12 +0. i know im gonna need my rears rolled, but overall will these fit?? its a very aggressive offset, but ive never hear of a 12inch rim being in back of the z. largest ive seen was 11.5 (on a stock rear quarter panels, aka no widebody). also, would the fronts rub?

a 12 with a +0 will not work without some serious -camber adjustments
this will give you an idea of what you are looking at. https://my350z.com/forum/media-share/293573-work-equips-first-gen-finally.html He's running 11s and his offset is not as low as +0.

supporting mods. so when i do have that much power, it will go to the ground. get what im saying?? its just a question, no need to get your panties in a twist, and dustin, thanks for the info. i think id be running into alot of problems with the setup lol. more so than itd be worth

It will probably be more trouble. If you're going to be running a lot of power, you don't want to be running that much camber. It would defeat the purpose of a bigger wheel and tire. I think you'd be safe with and 11 though for your setup with turbos.

I think with that setup in the rear, you will need to run a 255 tire on that 12" width with crazy camber, and a big big pull on the fender (fender will have to be repainted).

I dont think it would look right even with the tires stretched the one in that other thread I dont think looks right but that is IMO. Thing is its your car and it is your preference. Some people might not like my body kit or anything else but I do. I am running 20x10 in the rear and im running a 275/30/20
