I'm debating between 17x9 +25mm 17x10 +20mm. And either. 18x9 +35mm or +25mm ( can get either, just dont know which is better) and 18x10.5 +20mm

me personally i would do the 18's, and you want a lower number for the offset.... a +15 will put it pretty close to even with the wheel well on the rears

Alright so ill stick with the 20/25 and get spacers. I kind of want the 17s since they're lighter lol. Isnt like our cars are really all that fast.

it would be preferred not to have spacers....the reason i recommend the 18's is because if you go with 17s you will have more gap between the fender and the wheel.... the 18 will fill that up more

Even though this thread is about wheel color, if you want to look more into wheel specs, check out rimtuck.com

I would get as close to 18x9.5 +15 f / 18x10.5 +15 r staggered as possible...

Not a fan of XXR's but those specs are great for a Z as proven by thousands of RPF1 owners.

You can fit 285/35 in the rear with 18x10.5 +15 with a minor roll to prevent any rubbing.

Are you still going to be able to run 40 series? Or will you have to go to 35s?

I'm running a 18x9.5 +12 up front with 255/35/18 and 18x10.5 285/35/18 and I'm lowered on coil overs. I don't rub anywhere in the wheel wells... only the front bumper on my driveway haha

Honestly if i was to buy tires again today i would of went with a 40 profile. a little bit more meat = softer ride.

hope this helps
