18" Wheel & Tire Discussion Thread
Your fitment will be fine with the 275 rear on either wheel choice you've listed.
As for the 18x10.5 rear I'm assuming you mean the LMGT4? I've never seen a P45R in that size.

Very valid point i thought I seen somebody on here with. A 18x10.5 I will have to check. By running a +20 offset instead of a + 12 the barrel will be moved more toward the fender edge instead of sinking it in toward the strut am I right.
And can you put a 275 on a 10" wide rim?

Yes. Offset dictates the position of the wheel. Maybe closer to the fender. If so than you may want to go from a, say, 275 to 265 mm tire to keep the fender from cutting the tire.

GFY. That size is silly (opinion) and the OP should not use your set-up as a guide (fact). Oh, and 235s don't belong on the rear of a Z.

ok I searched and broswed but found limited info .I want to pick up a set of rota p45r for now because I have a donut on my car right now. And then plan on trying to find a set of lmgt4s
My question is I was going to get 18x9.5 +20 and 18x10.5+20 rears with a 255/40r18 front 275/40r18 rear now with these these rims on a car they fit nice but when looking at a set of lmgt4 they had an offset of +12 front + 15 rears and I thought they looked like they had a deeper concave. Maybe it's just. Manufacture thing.
If I get a different offset will it affect what size tire I run I don't want them to cone out past the fenders any input would be greatly appreciated thanks

If you can return those wheels and buy more appropriate offsets for the car.. those are worse than stock.

I'd go with a 295 on the back and 255 front but offset is going to look horrible... and if you go with a drop you might get some rubbing...
