Alla ebarek feek... yeah except i got skinny tires 245/40 nt05 from previous owner.. he gave them to me with the wheels. but since they still have life, i thought of using them for few days in AutoX then change to better/bigger tires.
Ok, so i test fitted these wheels and ran into and issue that wasnt fixed by an alignment, and ideas why my driver side hub is litterally a half inch further out than the passenger side?
Here is what im talking about in the pics,

Smaller wheels and a lower are not going to fix this issue, not to mention there isnt even a spacer on at that point and the whole wheel sits out a quarter to halg inch further which has me puzzled as to what would cause this.

will these 18" VS-XX fit?
Im looking at purchasing some 18" Work Vs-XX wheels and trying to determine whether these will clear my brembos and fit the guards.
I have had my guards rolled and currently running some CST Hyperzero (MB battles) in 18" 9.5+15, 225/40/18 (20mm spacer front, 25mm spacer rear) lowered on BC coilovers.
Im going for a more aggressive look this time so the specs for the wheels are:
Fronts: 18 x 9.5 +7 (11cm Dish) - A DISK
Rears: 18x 11.5 +14 (13cm Dish) - O Disk
Thanks for the help!

Are you sure about that? R-disc Equips did not clear my Brembos w/o a 5mm spacer...even a 3mm spacer rubbed. I've heard VS-XX require a spacer as well because Brembos weren't an option when the Equips/VS-XX were available.

This is an email directly from Logan at Work Wheels during our conversation regarding R-Disk Equips not clearing my front Brembos:
You are correct, the Equip 5 spoke in 18" (since you have a 19" step rim) in R-Disk does not clear OEM Brembo on a 350Z.
The disks between wheel models are completely different, so "R-Disk" in one wheel is not the same clearance as "R-Disk" in another. In the case of the VS-XX, yes, the 350Z Brembo in 19" would require a R-Disk + 7mm spacer front. The Equip and VS-XX were both designed in the late 90's / early 00's, so it is understandable that at the time no one could predict the oversized factory calipers of today.

How to... Work wheels specification chart.
I've had a quick search around without any luck. My question is.. How do I navigate around the Work wheel specs chart? Call me a noob but I can't figure out what a lot of the numbers relate to.
I'm wanting to buy a set of 18x10/11 (low offset) Meister M1 3p wheels. I've got the Brembo GT 355mm BBK front and 325mm rear. I guess I'll need R-disk front? Not sure about the rear.
A little help would be great!
