what size tires you running love it

Thanks

As far as pictures go they look to be the same just the extra spoke, I would say it's a pretty safe assumptions.

I have 245/40 fronts and 265/40 rears they have a minimum stretch in the front. Im considering 265/35 front and 265/40 rear for my next set.

Car is lowered about an inch and a half, fenders are rolled also... (they rubbed)

I don't want anything complicated or have to run a spacer etc.. I am considering these wheels

https://esrwheels.com/collections/sr.../products/sr04

18 x 9.5 +22 or +35 (Not sure which offset for fronts to go with)
18 x 10.5 + 22

What I'm unsure is if it might look goofy being sucked in the fender to far or I should be ok?

Was planning on running this tire size

255/18/40 front
275/18/40 rear

I've seen similar setups on here with these specs but with a different style wheel.

Bad luck.... no one seems to have the 18x10 wheels in the finish I want, was thinking of just doing 19x9.5 +22 all around keeping the tire size the same. I wouldn't think there would be any problems just the back wheels have a little tire poke but still look nice. Would this be alright?

What size tires front and rear? Also is that stock height or lowered?

So I have recently purchased 527 xxr's in matte bronze and I was planning on buying lowering springs. I was going to purchase the Eibach 1.2 in lowering springs, but I'm not sure about what spacers to get. I'm running 255 in the back and 225 in the front, if anyone could give me a link or any tips on the spacers, I was looking for about 1-1.5 inch spacers. Thanks

On that note, wheel specs? Can't put a spacer on a wheel without the specs.

Or read this and do the math: https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...t-novices.html

My 18x9.5 +15 squares with 245 & 275/40- RPF1s necessitated fender roll..

I still dont know how you guys dont scrape every living thing with your exhaust or chassis being this low. I have 3 full fingers from my wheels/fender gap and I scrape this stupid speed bump every morning at work. God forbid it be an actual high driveway. Even if I go dead slow and do the sideway shimmy over it.

Rub is non existent but the exhaust scrape is unreal.

I'm goin to try coil overs first. I think it'd look better if it was lower. I really don't want to run spacers.

Also what offsets?

275/35/18x10 front and rear. You can run a 35 and it’ll still look good with some lowering
