That is also nice haha. He's been in the process of teaching me then ins and outs. I've got prep down to a science. I just need to learn the gun.

Anyone running the rs05rr in 10.5 +15? I was gonna get the +22 but it only comes in the midface concave. The +25 and +15 both come in the rear face which has more concavity which is what im looking for. Not sure to go with the the +25 and 5mm spacer or to just go with the +15. I will be tracking the car but mostly street.

I run rs05 10.5 +15 for my fronts and 11 +15 in the rear with some pretty meaty tires.. 10.5 +15 in the rear will be pretty flush with the fender with out a spacer (depending on your camber) my 11 in the rear pokes out slightly.

But ive ran the a similar set up on rpf1s 10.5 +15 square even with a 20mm spacer in the rear and it still cleared with fender roll.

Nice. +15 was where I was leaning. at +15 did you have to run a lot of camber?

All depends on tire size

Hey guys i'm planning on getting new wheels in the near future for my 05 Z.

Ive been looking at the Enkei Raijin (cant find any other wheels with similar style and same size + offsets) 18x9.5 +15 all around.

255/40/18 for the front
275/40/18 for the rear

Criticisms?

Nope, but some people would run a 5mm to 10mm rear spacer with them

Alright cool cool, thanks.

But i've also read I might need some camber arms?

Just trying to get everything right the first time.

My car came with UGLY *** foose 20" rims and the tires were worn down real bad just on the inside (245/35/20 front, 285/35/20 rear) when I took them off and slapped on stockies lol.

I'm assuming it has to do with camber?
Or do I not need them if I were to put on the 18's.

On the camber wear.. have you gotten an alignment since you got the car?
