I got one around a month ago, but the Fooses have been off for 2 weeks.

Im going to buy new set of tires for the stockies and see if theres any unusual wear on them.

But ive read when people go with wider rims camber arms usually help keep things in spec.

^^^ It's actually people that lower their cars install suspension arms to keep their alignment in spec, the width of the wheels has nothing to do with camber/toe/caster/etc. at stock height.

You didn't mention if the Z you purchased had coilovers/lowering springs? Z's have slight negative camber from factory could explain the wear from those sh*tty rimz.

Do to the flimsy rubber bushings, it can cause a change in alignment with the extra load of the wider wheels and tires. I suggest an alignment with the wheel/tire combo you plan to drive on.

i dont see why it wouldnt. rs05 barrel design is just like any other wheel. so your tire shop should be able to fit a tpms on it.

something is up with your sizing...
the only offset they make in a 18x9.5 is a +38.... which looks like what you have based on how the wheels are sitting in the pics. a +12 on a 9.5" would be much more flush than what you have there.

personally I'd get a 15-20mm spacer to run in the rear.

all that said, still a nice choice in wheel

Agreed on the rear, but front doesn't look like a 9.5 +38.
