Hi again
as before i mentioned new to Z land , i read quiet a lot on F 18x10 -3 R 18x12 - 20 and there is no way i am going to make it work as i need without heavy mods to fenders flares painting and all that stuff. so i'll have to sell Meisters
Now i have two options and would like to know your opinion on these ones
option 1
SSR AGLE Premium (sp1 look like) , specs are F - 18x10 + 19 , R - 18x10 + 11 , how flush they will sit ? planing to run 265/35 all around ? or i will need some 10MM spacers to fill up fenders ? front lip is kinda small for me
option 2
SSR SP1 , specs are : 18x9.5 + 5 , 18x11 - 1
i know fronts will fit just nice , but what about rears? i've seen u guys run 18x10.5 + 15 with 15mm spacers that makes 0 offset , so 18x11-1 with rolled fenders and really little campber play should be ok for me?
sp1-s are 1300$ more expensive than AGLE premiums , both are forged , but sp1 looks more aggressive and wait time is going to be 3-4 months from Japan , and this is the worst part for me
or i just should order knock of varrstoen es6 18x10.5 + 15 all around and get them in 2 weeks time and will cost me 1350$ landed to my door which is same price as SSR AGLE as mentioned and pictured up in the post
forgot to mention car has factory brembo calipers

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.

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.

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

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?
