So I have the 18X8.5 Axis Hiro rims.
I'm getting 4 Fuzion ZRi Tires 265/35/18 for $200, they have over 85% tread left.
Front will be 18x8.5 265/35/18 +20 offset
Back will be 18.85 265/35/18 +10 offset
Should I go with the Fuzion as I'm getting them for $200 compared to their new cost of $700??? or will the tires rub?
I'm on a tight budget terrasmak because I'm saving money to buy a sedan since My wife and I are expecting a baby girl in April. Hence, my name "HopeikeepmyZ".
F.Y.I terrasmak, I don't get into debt. I do everything Cash $$$ Money $$$

Getting some WEDS need advice
WEDS Tc105n 18x9.5 +15mm and 18x10.5 +12mm
Alright I've never bought wheels for a car, so this is new for me and got a question about tires. Running stock wheels with Nitto Invo's
Front:235/40/18
Rear: 265/35/18
Now when I get the new 295/35/18 for the rears, and put the 265/35/18 on the front am I going to run into issue's?

It will work, but look a bit lame, 275/35 is a great front tire, running the shorter tires like that do not fill out the wheel wells and add extra wheel gap.

How is it a bit lame when most goes for stagger fitment? I believed if I try to go for 275 instead of 265 then there will be no need for spacer.

Quick offset question, needing help before I drop cash
I just bought my first Z and I love it. It's an 03 6 speed and is amazing!! I hate these stock wheels more than anything lol. The wheels I found are 18x9 and 18x10 on the rear. Offsets are 22 and 24 around. How would this turn out for my 03? I'd hate to get them and have to get spacers, but I figured I'd ask all of y'all first. Thank you in advance

There's a wheel fitment thread over in the Wheel and Tire section.
Also, before buying tires, check out this thread on how VDC works. When you get your new wheels, take a look here to see why they aren't fitting on the hub (it's common).
When searching for wheel fitment, I like to use Rimtuck.com. For 18x9/18x10, I'd look at offsets in the +20 area, so you're good to go. Not very aggressive, but it fits and looks decent.

Welcome.
Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

My question was if they'd fit and look at least flush w/ the body. There are some of the same wheel, but with a huge difference in offsets. Somewhere around a 30ish
