when it comes to getting that flush look with out rubbing 5mm is a big difference. if your set up is not close to flush and dont have to worry about adding camber then its no big deal.

 

Oh I see. Thanks for the input

 

I should have been more clear, on +25 at 10" wide, no significant difference with 5mm. But you are right in that the flus/hellaflush/poke crowd 5mm will be night or day.

 

I'm thinking about getting the XXR 522 rims but they're 18x9.5 +38. I have stock rims right now and I'm running 225/45/18 in the front & 245/45/18 in the rear. Will those rims fit alright and will my tires fit on those rims? I know nothing about wheels really.

 

Get lower offsets.

 

That sizing isn't really ideal for the Z in my opinion. There are a lot of other options out there.

 

Picked up car a week ago and stock wheel were horrible so I picked some saleens up for 399 until I can save up for Volks. Kinda like them and may keep them. 18X10+22 18X9+24 275/40 245/45.

 

they do actually look decent. would look even better when lowered

 

Here are some pictures of my Z on 18's. 18x10 and 18x12 Weds Kranze Bazreia's.









Enjoy!

What I dont like is the gloss paint and the silver center cap. If I keep them I will paint them matte black and make the center cap black with the Z emblem on them. Going to lower it next week.

 

pic of mine sat on tein super street coilovers and 18inch Ruff racing wheels.to be honest i also run 19s but prefer the look when on 18s.

8.5 front with 20 offset +25mm spacer = -5 with 225/45/18 bridgestones

9.5 rear with 20 offset + 28mm spacer = -8 with 245/45/18 bridgestones



front..




rear




rear arches have been rolled as i change to 19s for summer use...

What i wanna get!
which ones do i get offset wise and will i need lugs??

Thank you for reading and helping!

 

Welcome to the forum, I have quoted the post that should contain the wheel & tire setup that would be ideal for an 18" wheel

You can use your existing lugs if you want and not have to run spacers
