Question Motegi Offset question...and any suggestion

My first post! I'm glad to be apart of the Z family. I've had the Z for about 8 months now and now I'm about to put some wheels on it. I've got alot of plans for this car in the near future keeping it drift style (was in Japan for 5 years). I think I'm gonna go with the Motegi Touge Gunmetal 18"s. The offsets they have are for that wheel are 18x9 +25, 18x9 +12 and 18x10 +30. Any suggestions or similar setups w/ pics will be appreciated.

Id do 18X9 front with +25 offset, and rear 18X10 with +30 offset. If you do the front with +12 offset it will fit but will sit much more flush with fenders than the rear, would look funny. Im not 100% sure what size people run in 18's most do 19's so just google "tire size calculator" and find something wide that is close to stock diameter wise....good luck.

I completely agree on the wheel sizes and offsets. For tires I would run 245/40/18 front and 275/40/18 rear. You could also do 255/40, 285/40 combo.

I've heard Montegi rims have lots of cracking problems

Yeah. I like the 245/40/18 F and 275/40/18/ R combo. I think the 255 and 285 may be a little too thick, as far as the rear. I'm trying to fill the wheel well in the rears. So I also may add spacers. If I don't get the look/feeling I'm looking for I might even mess with the fenders. What do you'll think as far as performance?
