Default Will +10 or +48 offset work?

Basically my question is in the title. I found a great 18x8 wheels to go all the way around but the offset is all out of wack. Anyone know if this will fit? They come in either +10 or +48

it'd work fine


wheels would be more tucked in than stock by about 15mm in the rear and 18mm in the front

IMO it'd look odd, but do it if there's no other wheel you like

you could always get spacers to push them out

handling will be worse, the wheels are closer in making it act more like a bike (ok that's an extreme example)


this is an awesome link

Between those choices, I would try +10. It will push the wheels out flush with the fender and maybe even just a little past.

+10 will be flush, but have a deep lip if that's what you're into

the rear too.. but the rear shock...

+10mm at that width will put the wheels flush with the fender...

anythnig else, it will look like your car is on a spare (very tucked in)

Why anybody with a Z would even think about putting on only 8" wide aftermarket rims is beyond me, especially ones with ghey offsets....find something that fits better, and is at least wider than a stock track's rears, it will look/handle much better.
