I have a 2007 Z... looking to keep the stock tires - 225/45-18 & 245/45/18



will

Offset: 30mm
Bolt Pattern: 5-114

18x8.5 up front

------------------------------

Offset: 35mm
Bolt Pattern: 5-114

18x9.5 on the rear

or

Offset: 35mm
Bolt Pattern: 5-114

18x8.5 on the rear (same as fronts)




will these fit fine on a 2007 base ?

If so, which would be better both 8.5s on front and rears, or go 9.5 on the rears?



Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

I’m a little confused by your post. Please forgive me if I missed your point/question.

What is your eventual plan? You said: “looking to keep the stock tires - 225/45-18” & 245/45/18.” Since those sizes fit the 18x8” stock wheels, I’m not sure why you ask about 18x8.5” and 18x9.5” wheels. I can only guess that you plan buying wider tires to replace the stock-sized tires you have when these wear out.

If that is the case (your plan is migrating to wider tires), you could buy 18" x 8.5" (Front), 18" x 9.5" (Rear) wheels and mount 245/40-18” tires on the front and 275/40-18” tires on the rear.

You can come close to the correct offset by matching Nismo’s specifications (offset: .25mm front / .30mm rear).

He was asking what i wanted to know I think.

Using STOCK tires, Can a 9.5" wide rim fit inside a 245/45/18 tire?
Stock uses an 8.5" but the tire looks to still have room to fit a bigger rim.
Anyone can help??

 

I tried to do that also. I used my stock tires with 18x9 fronts and 18x10 rears. They fit but looked stretched. Some people go for that look but I personally didn't like it. I ended up moving up to 245s in the front and 275s in the rear.

 

Dang really? I dont like the stretched look either >.<
but thx dude.

anyone know if 8" in the back will be okay since the difference is only -0.5" instead of 1.5"?
