Default offset work with a Track/35th Z???

I am wondering if this offset and sizing will work with my 35th anniversary Z.

18x8.5+37 114.3 5h
18x9.5+38 114.3 5h

I am looking at getting some RH CP-S10, they are semi-rare and different.

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

Consider that the OEM rear Track wheel is 18x8.5+33. I don't like the idea of moving the wheels 4mm closer to the brake caliper.

would the offset work out with a spacer and some extended studs. I am a newb when it comes to understanding wheels offsets but I would like a concave look of the wheels.

absolutely will work with spacers/longer studs - how big you need is a function of the wheel design

Z1 do you guys sell this model of wheel. I saw you are a Racing Hart Dealer. If you could pm pricing of 18x9.5 & 18x8.5 +30 or +25 whichever gives the most concavity.

Agreed, I have been researching offsets and want a wheel flush with the fender and I love this design of wheel. Its one of the few models that eveyone doesnt already have that I actually like.

You can add a 5 or 10mm spacer sure. But I would rather buy the proper size wheels to begin with.
