-----18x8.5 all around +38 offset-----
Would 18x8.5 all around +38 offset fit perfect for our Z? Do I need to use any spacer? I might up grade my brake system in the future, would +38 offset leave enough space for the brake upgrade, please give me advise!

I think that is around the same offset as the stock 03-05 Track wheels, might be a +35. The rear track wheels are 18x8.5 and I have rears on all four corners on mine, with the factory brembos. So should work just fine I would assume. If you want you could get some 15-20mm spacers to help make the wheels look more flush with the fenders.

I always think the spacer is kind of dangerous, please correct me if I am wrong. For me the performance is way more important than it looks, since I take my Z to the racetrack to beat the 911 and other import cars.
Thank you for your advise!

keep searching the forums, you'll find the common wheel sizes and offsets that people are using. The sizes and offsets you listed suck for the Z.

I can see buying spacers for wheels you already own (like from your last car, transferred to the Z, you're trying to save some cash) but I cannot see buying spacers for new wheels.

Hey guys, Give me some good idea on wheel size and the best offset, remember that I perfer 18" and all four wheels the same size, so I can do the rotation! And forget about the subject on the spacer, the racing season in CA is coming up in 2 months!
Thank You.
Thank You.

I personally love the CCW classics in an 18x9.5 and around a 30+ offset. I would think you would need a pretty high offset to be able to fit the 9.5s in the front. You could also go with the Nismo rear wheels all the way around and they are an 18x9.5. This would allow you to put some 275 Hoosiers on there for some serious traction.
