18 " VOLK TE-37 Question ???????
I know Im beating a dead horse guys , but I just read/searched like an hour of info regarding 18" wheel offsetts and they all contradict eachother. Some say yes this will fit and some say no this wont fit.
I waiting like 3 months to get my Time Attacks in and while I was waiting I changed my mind on what size wheels I want. Im going to be tracking my car alot more than I thought and I think I can get away with smaller wheels if they are aggressive enough and if I lower my car more. Also with 18's I can get a better tire .. I really wanted to run the Falken Azenis 615 !!!
My question is will 18 inch Volk TE-37 9.5 +12 front and 10.5 +15 rear fit if I roll my fenders ?
or
since I have no need to run a 10.5 in the rear and it would just be harder to fit ... would a 9.5 +12 fit for the front and the rear ? This way I can run the same size tires all around like I want 265/35/18.
I plan on lowering the Z quite a bit as well and I love the concave/aggresive look. Thanks and Im sorry for the re-post.

Yes the 18x10.5 +15 will fit with a 265/35/18 and a rolled fender. I'm running 18x10 +3 effective (which is about 1mm further out than a 10.5 +15) with 255/35/18s in the rear with stock fenders and there is definitely a little room left for a wider tire. I'll be rolling my fenders and running 265/35s all around for my next set of tires. Be manly and run the 18x10.5 +15 all around on the 265/35s. Here's a pic of the Sun Line Auto 350Z with 18x10.5 +15 all around on 265/35s.

265-35-18 will look stretched on 10 or 10.5 wheels.
I think 9.5 all around will be good. For better look, you can have +22 for front and +12 for rear. In this way, you don't even have to roll the fender.
My friend is running
F: 18x9.5+22
R: 18x9.5+12
265-35-18 all around. According to my friend, he got ride of understeer on the track.
By the way, he has Gunmetal TE37 on White Z.

Im going to run 9.5 all around so that I can fit 265/35/18 all around like I want to. Now I just need to figure out what offsett to run. +12 all around or +15 all around or even +22 in rthe front and +12 in the rear ... I dont know ??? I'll probably want to do the most aggressive offsett possible while still maintaining a good solid track/street set up. Theres no use in getting these if they dont perform well and are to crazy for my DD.
Anyone got more pics of TE's in 18inch with +12 or +15 offsetts ??

No offense man .. your car is nice and all, but I cannot stand that offset in 18's. Maybe if you slam your car it will look more appealing to me, but Its your car not mine. The front is wayy to flat for me. Im looking for an agressive look like this ... what offset would you guys say this is ... +12 all around ???

EDIT: Actually, with a 9.5 rear, I dont think you will have to be anymore negative camber in the rear then what it already is, just roll your fender.

Yea, I think that would be an awesome set-up. Volk TE37 18x9.5 +12 all around with 265/35/18 falken azenis rt615 all around. Andy you have PM regarding these wheels in bronze.
Hopefully It wouldnt take another three months since I just waited three months for my Time Attaks 19inch (9.5 & 10.5 +22) which ill be selling most likely in about a week for those of you that are interested. Ill post a FS thread soon on them. They are brand new in the box never used .. just arrived this week.

understeer or oversteer is a factor of MANY things - wheel width merely being 1 component.
It's the same as people saying a 245/275 combo automatically = understeer. There are many variables that determine how the car actually behaves beyond a sheet of paper.
