I have xxr 527 18x9.75 +20 all around with 265/35/18 Federal ss 595 all around. I got Tanabe GF210 lowering springs and obviously the rear fender well still looked bad so instead of cutting my rear spring mounts I decided to get some energy solutions coil isolators to make it more flush. My question is, will it rub at all when I lower the rear and also next year I'm going to get bigger tires in the rear because I need more traction, will it rub with 285/35/18 with the energy solutions coil isolators? I assume yes but if I put my stock spring mounts back on will it still rub? Thanks.

Unless you're slammed, the wheel+tire specs you have are not aggressive enough to warrant tire rubbing.
Here's my 285/40/18 18x10+26 which is similar to your wheel specs lowered on HKS adjustables. No rear rubbing whatsoever. My guess is that you will be fine with your current setup and likely with your 285/35 setup too.

I think you're right. Was on my phone and couldn't see the sides very well. I bought a used INGS+ kit over the summer, and I'm still deciding if I like the way it looks, so I've been delaying the install. Every time I see a pic, though, it gets me motivated to start working on it. Thanks.

Default 18" Wheel Suggestions

Hey guys I just recently bought my first 350z and do to some of the spokes on one of the back rims being cracked all the way through i need to replace them. Instead of getting a new one i thought i might as well get a whole brand new set and needed some suggestions. I have been a big fan of rota grid 2's and thought maybe a dark purple would have been cool or maybe something deep dish. I have done alot of searches and havent found anything that eye catching. post pictures
i have 1000$ limit
and im sticking with 18s

You're going to need to do some more searching and not just ask people to post photos

If $1,000 is your price range your best bet is to focus on our private marketplace and see if you can find something you can afford

https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-tires-369/

$1,000 (including tires) is not alot of money otherwise to budget for a decent set of wheels

Also there is a massive 18" wheel thread that you should spend some time in to find out what you like:

Yeah again that's not the kind of thread you should be making, you need to do your own research and verify what you can afford by using the existing threads with plenty of info

For $1,000 your options are limited

XXR, Enkei (used), or MB Battles is what most run on this forum around that price range

18x10 +12 Square setup.

275/35/18 Front
275/40/18 Rear

Maybe 15mm spacers in the rear.

Sounds like a good setup? Or would you just go 275/40 all around to be able to rotate

Default Largest (width) tire size to fit stock 06 350z

I'm going to be upgrading my wheels/tires soon and I'm really into that fat rear tire look. What is the widest tire I can fit in the back on stock suspension without any type of rubbing or fitment issues. I think I once read someone said he was able to fit 305 in the rear with no problems.

Probably will need to roll and pull.
Look into the the aggressive wheel stock tires thread.

19/35/255-285 fit fine on stock height.

It really depends on the specs of the wheels you want to run and your suspension - check out the aggressive wheels + fat tires thread for some ideas
