You will also need to run spacers I run 15 mm spacers in the rears non on the front you will need spacers to make the fronts fit as well as fuca. They are very easy to install maybe an hour tops

 

I have 18x10.5 +15 square with 275/35/18s square and it fits fine. I put a 10mm in the rear just for looks. I have -2 camber on all corners which doesn't seem too bad. I don't daily my Z though.

I have ran 19x9.5 & 10.5 +0 with factory camber lowered about an inch. 255/35s and 275/35s. The tire size is what can really get you. I don't care for much stretch.

If you are at ALL thinking you like any legit wheel, I would get those over the Varrs. I have had Varrs and Loved em, but I was always wanting legit wheels. I went from the ES 2.2.2s (TE reps) to Volk GTS and I loved the look as well as strength. Plus you can look down on everyone with rep wheels jk.

If you just want the look and plan to switch it up from time to time, I would go Varrs. They are cheap and they are easy to resell.

 

Amen

 

Unless you are set on the meat tire look you should be able to pull that off with 235-40's in the front and 245-40 or 45 in the rear. Stretch would be moderate but not extreme like some people on here run. Getting some SPL camber arms for the front would help but they should still fit with a decent roll.

 

Are you seeing the pics? 265 on 11" wheels is already stretching. 235 would be dangerous.

 

Hey guys noob here. I would like to start out by saying you guys have some nice rides in here. I've looked trough all 267 pages and through the 18" wheels section. I've tried finding the answers to my questions my self without just being that guy and asking with out researching. I think I'm on the right path but everybody seems to contradict what can and can't be done. I know the look I would like and I see it on lots of your guy's cars but everyone has different setups and some say fenders need rolled others don't etc... I live in LA so I don't really wanna slam the car (roads suck) maybe a 1"-1.2" drop all around and its also my daily driver. I'd prefer to not to roll my fenders but will If I have to get the look I'd like. My car is stock height right now and on stock 17" enthusiast rims. These are the rims I'm looking at getting. Basically was just wondering if anyone knew what I might be in for with this setup or any suggestions in general. I would like to go for the look of member JZurita 350z here but on 18's https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...es-thread.html

18x9.5 +22 offset f
18x10.5 +15 offset r

Was thinking about 245/255 40 18 f and 275/285 40 18 r

Im open to all suggestion of any other setups you guys might recommend as well

Here is a link to the rims: Not sure why it shows the red but I will not be getting them in red they will be black.

255/40/18 & 275/40/18 will work/look great, at the same time keeping your oem tire diameters as close as possible. However, with the +15 offset, be prepared to roll your rear fenders (usually around $50 per fender) Once they're rolled, you don't have to worry about it again and it's out of the way.

Good luck

 

Awesome, thank you! Will this give me a pretty flush look? Im ok with not being 100% flush. will I need or you recommend any kind of spacer's?

 

Yes it will be pretty flush. My last setup was 18x9.5/10.5 +15 all around with 255/275-40 and it was perfect. I doubt you'll need spacers. But you can figure that out once you get the wheels installed.

 

Cool, Thanks for the help!

 

Nice setup but would try run a 255/40-18 front. Also moved your posts to better thread for them, 245/255 fronts are narrow for the wide tire thread.

 

Thanks terrasmark. So, what kind of tire would you recommend? I don't mind going wider. What's the widest I could go without any rubbing issues? Also, could I just get a spacer for the front to make it a +18 offset? forgive any stupid question in there or anything that just sounded stupid!! lol

 

Oh whoops, thought we were talking about a 10" wheel for some reason haha. Yup your screwed, no less then a 245 and mad camber, soooorryyyyyy.

 

enkei RS05RR

18x10 +22 265/35 up front

18x11 +16 285/35 rear

 

Looks much better now!

 

Holy crap! Cjw that's sick. Color, front, wheels, everything - sick.

 

 

New guy here also but long time lurker, I was going to do the same thing but in red with 9.5's running 245/45 square and wonder if the rub/stretch factor will come in place too. I'll be getting one next week for test fitment and see what happens next. But judging from what I've seen and heard previously 255/40 F can possibly be done. I went square 245/45's all the way for neutrality and tire maintenance. Like the other guy said, you should prepare for the aggressive fitment due to way closer to zero offset and wheel/tire width and forsee a roll in the future especially if you go bigger and lower it and then you can play with sizes all you want. Lower profile, shorter wall. I like the 245/45's in the front because the roads are god awful out here in this hole and especially the road to work which is almost never repaired and makes a better cushion for the potholes along the way. Some of the previous fitments make my **** look weak but I'm on a budget also.

 

Hi everyone, I need some advice on tires.

I drive a 2005 coupe, 6 speed touring. I live in Vancouver so its going to rain a lot. My current set of tires are nearly bald so I'm slipping and fishtailing. I plan on buying all seasons and I don't plan on getting winter tires. I'm looking at discount tires in Bellingham and deciding between Yokohama and Bridgestone as those are in my price range. Any recommendations for me?
