Default 18" wheel fitment help! 18x10+0 / 18x12+0.

Please don't say search lol because I've tried, and I'm just really not sure.

I wanted to ask for my specific specs to make sure before I have these shipped.

I have a 350z.

I'm buying 18x10+0 / 18x12+0.

Does anyone know approximately what needs done to make these fit? I know I need my fenders rolled. Will they need pulled? Approximately how much camber will I need to run?

Any help is appreciated.

Lots of camber, lots of stretch, many extra parts and it will have the HellaGay look

+0 is you fender line somewhat so your wheels are gonna be two inches further out than that.

they're other websites better suited for this

It will work with a roll and slight pull, you will be able to run neg 2 camber or less if someone good does your roll.

Check the aggressive wheel/stretched tire thread, if your car is daily driven and you want your tires to last, probably not the specs to go with.

Edit: Unless you're not slamming your car, it will look uggg.

With enough work that could fit. Just depends on how much fender work you're planning on doing, tire size, alignment, etc.

Default Tire fitment help please! Newbie!

I have a set of staggered XXR 006's
The fronts are 18x8.5
and the rears are 18x9.5 with +35 offset all around

I'm having trouble with what size tires I should get, I want less wheel gap than stock and my car is not lowered YET. I plan on lowering my car 1 inch when I get the money.

I was thinking of going 245/60 up front and 275/65 in the back
this may be wrong lol but help is appreciated!

Better offset wheels will help. If you are on a budget look for spacers. About 20mils.

Are you even lowered?

The Z is not a SUV with those sidewalls you mentioned lol

275/35R18 Front
275/35R19 Rear

Look into 20mm front and 25 mm spacers rear. Also a slight roll in the rear...

The above is the safest suggestion, next to selling those wheels.
