Default 18x9.5 +12 all around, aggr. owners chime in.

I'm looking to get FN01RCs in 18x9.5 +12 all around. I have 245F and 275R Azenis tires. Drop is subtle (Hotchkis) any issues with this setup? Anyone with a similar setup with pics?

This is a friend and a my350z member. His name is blomys14. His wheels are 18x9.5 +12. He's running 245s and he has a 15mm spacer on the rear. He's also dropped on stance coilovers.

Sorry if you're mad about using your car Bradley.

umm, if you dont roll or cut your fenders you will have issues...the db z definitely has his rolled or cut otherwise it would rub.

so the db z is running a +12 with a 15mm spacer...so hes -3? yah that wont rub at all...

also if you run the correct (recommended tire widths) and not stretched tires...a +12 should if not will definitely rub.

(all assuming youre lowered a certain amount.)

i ahd this question this week too, and did research, asked ppl, looked at pics of similar setups, and is why i went with +22 and not the +12, saves me the hassle of fender rolling or cutting, not that id watn to do that anyway.

The fenders are rolled on the DB Z above. You should never, NEVER cut your fenders. Only unless you're going widebody. That's just retarded and don't know why people talk about it.


If you want to run 245/275 you may have to roll you rear fenders, but after that you should be fine with clearance.
