Does anyone know if the Z handles turns better using 18x8.5 on the front and 18x9.5 in the rear or is it better to have 18x9.5 all around?

Yeah, its very hilly over here in NZ, and some crazy speedbumps/random holes on the road... we're a farming country, so that explains it all... lol...

Looks like a 25mm rear would do it. Cant really tell in the front. I would recommend coilovers but it all depends on what you wanna spend.
