Widest tire size for +22 offset?
Hey, I have a 2003 350z enthusiast I’ve been building and I was wondering how wide I can go with the tires in the front and rear. I’m planning on getting a staggered setup with Rays 57CR (18x9.5+22 & 18x10.5+22) and I’m looking at 245/35/18 and 275/35/18. Can I go any wider with just rolling the fenders, not familiar with fitment on these cars so any help would be great. Thanks.

But think again about running 18" 35s. Too low. On an ENTH model no issues with VDC but there will be a wheel gap.
If you roll, you can fit 255/285 om 9.5/10.5 +22 wheels. But not a lot of selection in those tire sizes on 18" wheels. Plenty for 19s. I run exclusively very light 19s (less than most 18s other than forged or roll forged, e,g, Enkei RPF1, PF05 etc) and my best fitting set of wheels were that spec and they (255/35&285/35-19) fit perfectly. Also Z34 Nismo wheels (LMGT5 and the newer ones) fit great with those tire sizes.

This is what lead me to get 19s the availability of 18" tires is dwindling every day and I wanted a wide variety. I was anti 19" for the longest time but now that I have them I wouldn't want to go back to 18"

Seconded.

if that’s the case, I really like the way the bronze 57cr rays gram lights look, do y’all know if they make those in a 19 with a 9.5/10.5 +22? I can’t seem to find it anywhere. If not is there any lightweight bronze wheels similar? Looking to spend most 500 a wheel. Thanks.
Didn’t look carefully but 57CR is available in 19.
