what are the offsets?? ... yes those sizes will fit if the offsets are right.

PM some of the vendors on here or look in the classifieds under wheels and see if our vendors can offer a better deal. many times they can.

But yes that is around the going price on those wheels.

I wouldn't go 9.5/10.5 with 245/275 tires. If you like that stagger and those sizes, I'd probably opt for an 8.5/9.5 set-up.

THIS! and I wouldnt use a 40 sidewall upfront.

If you go 8.5/9.5 use 245/35-275/35 I would get around a +15 offset if you dont want any rubbing issues.

Or get the 9.5/10.5 and put 265/35-285/35 with a +20 offset and your good

RPF1 question. How wide of a tire can we fit on a 18x10.5 +15 for the rear with a camber of -1.5 and 1.5 inch drop? I've looked all over for this awnser with no luck. I would like to fit a 295 if possible.

Oh and my rear fenders are cut.

you guys complain why everyone is going with stretch tires yet 99% of the Z's on here are practically stock height with oversized tires on conservative offset wheels


more setups like this please

foreals, people are scared to run 9.5/10.5? I ran a 245/40-275/40 no rubbing,dropped 2 1/2 inchs,no fender modding, and guys if you have to roll your fenders dont be scared,just look up a few videos and take your time.and get dirty!!!its your car you have to know it in and out, its not like your doing a motor swap or something major.

most Z's on here don't even have rolled fenders yet it's the "aggressive wheels and fat tires" thread. Anyone can get fat tires mounted on wheels, i did that with my stock wheels lol

03threefiftyz - i can tell by your choice of pics that you have a wheel gap the size of my head :P Any pics where your not turning at 50mph? No disrespect i understand your intentions with that setup, but they should just call this "i track my Z so excuse my wheel gap im still aggressive" thread. Like i said anyone can slap fat tires on a wheel.

I have about 1 1/2 finger gap on front and 2 in the back, but I only use a 24.5" tire. With factory tires the fender is probably 1/2 a finger less gap. Let me see if I can find a pic or two.



I think I may not have been quite to a full stop yet though...the front is usually a hair higher and the rear a tad lower...

I should mention that my car has VERY little body roll...the pic where I am turning above is probably a 1.2g ish turn....

i understand, but that to me is not aggressive in terms of "wheels and tires". Great for track setups im sure.

this however is imo

285/30 all four + spacers and slammed

The ride height may not be particularly low, but you have to admit that is both a fat tire and aggressive.

Specs are: 18x11 +0 w/ 315/30/18 fr 18x12.5 -14 w/ 335/30/18 r.

That's beautiful!!!

Those rear specs are ridiculous! I love it! That is the biggest possible lip you can get on an 18" Meister @ 172mm!

Are you certain on the front specs? I don't see an 18x11 +0 Meister on the spec sheet for that wheel..

Any links with more pics, or info, or who owns this car? I'm trying to spec a set of Meister's right now for my car, and I was thinking 18s and this is the first Z I find with them!
