ncparamedic, what manufacturer / model number wheels are you running? Great look!

 

any rubbing/scrubbing with this setup? what are the offsets?

 

I'm sort of in a spot. I'm going daily driver now and I don't want 19's. Keeping my track set up wheels which are 18 9.5 +15 (F) and 18 10.5 +18 (R) VOLK RE30. Tires for track are 235/40 (F) and 265/35 (R). These are old photos but I'm slightly lowered more and want to get rid of the gap. I'd like to just fill it in a little because where I live I can't ride that low. Just from looking and the offset mentioned above, does it look like I can fit a 255/40 or 45 (F) and a 285/40 (R)? Just to fill in a little.....

 

Before the new additions of coilovers/spacers no rubbing at all.

I'm actually lower now and added +15 spacers all around.
My offsets are + 3 F / + 5 R

I rub a very minimal amount, only if their is a dip in the road.
Here is current set up...

 

^those would look so sick if you painted gloss black. DO IT!!!

 

 

For me having a daily driver, I care about my speedo being accurate and my mileage...so I stick with the 40 series tires. I also don't want to roll my fenders....I'm done doing that kind of stuff.

Also once last thing, what brand tires you buy has a huge impact on what will clear those fenders in the rear. Tires like Falkens tend to run narrow...and tires like BFG, Michelin, Nitto tend to run fat.

You don't necessarily need a 285/40R18 in the rear....you could buy a 275/40R18 from one of the "meatier" brands and get the same look (usually for cheaper).

Your wheels stick out about 0.37" more than those 18x10 +18 Work XD-9s already posted....so keep that in mind. I think a 285 might be pushing it unless you stick with the smaller diameter 285/35R18 which is really more of a track tire size that you're trying to get away from.

 

I've thought about that or just doing the lip in black. But I feel they'd make the 18's look smaller considering the lip size in the back. So i'm a bit on edge...

 

My old WRX RIP to the Scoob

 

Well did a change from the Advans, went with some Weds this time

 

looks good

 

Specs on the Weds please? Width/offset/weight/tire size?

Rear fenders are rolled I assume?

 

'bout time somebody put those weds on a Z. They look great...congratulations on not following the crowd.

 

Thanks, still trucking along with her

18x9 +20 255/35/18 20lbs
18x10 +15 285/35/18 21lbs

yes fenders are rolled, with the power it really squats when I get on it, and now that I put the Nitto 555RII's it might finally hook


thanks, I like to go off the beaten path, first with the Advans which people hated or loved and now with these Weds, they are insane, and pictures really do not do them justice they are just beautiful

I am a dealer fo rthem if anyone wants any Weds, great wheels

 

Liking the new wheels Gus!

 

 

My new wheels. 18x9 +30 and 18x10 +38 Work XD9 MBG color.
Tyres are 245/40/18 and 275/40/18 (Have 255 on photo, but have changed to 275 now)
Just installed yesterday, may need some spacer for rear...sadly car cant be lowered anymore as we have rough roads here down in New Zealand.

Also, is there a good vendor that sells work duralumin nuts that can send down to New Zealand for a good price?
I can pay paypal. Thanx

 

need smaller offset, that looks too small of a wheel

 

Yeah, that's why I'm looking for 20mm spacers for the rears....
and maybe 10mm for the front.

 

and after that lower it
