Not much just ordering an oem v3 front bumper. Post pics of the wheels once you get them on.

Yes the z33 fits 18" wheels that's the factory wheel size.

Did you have them cut and welded/widened?

Otherwise, I don't think XD9's come in 18x10.5. . .

Musta been thinking D9R.

Default Should I have an compications with these wheels clearing?

I'm looking to purchase Work D9R emotion wheels as I've heard some great things about them being lightweight, aggressive and maintaining aesthetics. They come available with these dimensions:

9.5 + 12 Front offset

10.5 + 15 rear offset


I just want to know if anyone has wheels of similar size on their Z. I really want to avoid the need for a camber kit on either side. However fender rolling is not a problem.


OR I COULD GO WITH

9.5+23 front and 10.5+ 23 rear offset

However, I'd much rather go with the more aggressive option.

Please share your experience and expertise, this is my first time buying wheels this aggressive and I want to make sure it goes right

I don't have tires yet, so I'll be leaning towards whichever tire size would be most appropriate for fitment.
Im thinking tire size will probably be:
F: 245/35
R: 275/35

Edit: my Z is a 2003 WITHOUT brembos, I am lowered on Tein springs.

You could be slammed on MDU's and you won't need to roll fenders for those specs. Your tires are fairly meaty, but it shouldn't cause you any issue.

Default Work Gnosis Gs5 wheels what tire size you rec?

Hello bought some sick Gnosis gs5 wheels and i have no clue what tires i should fit. I have searched but with no good result.

I am going to roll the fender and fix some camber arms.

I want the Tires to fit right inside the fender lip. With not too aggresive Camber.

I have Ksport airbags on the car.

The wheels are 19x9.5 +- 0 ET and 19x10.5 +- 0 ET.

Would be very thankfull If you have some tips or pics with this exact setup.

Thinking about 235/35-19 front and 245/35-19 rear.

I would do 225/4-19 and 245/40-19 rear ,gives you the proper height tire. Then just set the camber to the curve of the stretch.
