Ok, I think I'm good for offset, hopefully.

How's this setup:

RPF1's w/ Hankook V12's
F: 18x9.5 +15 w/ 245/40/18
R: 18x10.5 +15 w/ 265/40/18

Not lowered, rear fenders not rolled.

Well, you're lucky to have picked the most common setup of rpf1s for the 350z. So you're good to go with offsets and width. The weaksauce point is where you're running narrow 265/40s. Depending on your alignment you might still rub on hard rebounds.

Underscore_Hero

Wouldn't narrow tires have less chance of rub? They have a light stretch iirc.

That's the widest the Hankooks will go for 18"

What Hankook tires are you wanting to run?

Underscore_Hero

Hankook V12 Evo's.

I like them on my other daily.

You can easily get a 275/40-18 and 255/40-18 in those tires for those wheels. It's what I ran on the street back in the day.

You will need a roll in the rear and trim the front fender liner screw

Damn...found them.
Apparently I have no idea how to browse tire rack :/

Thanks bro!

Less chance, doesn't mean won't. Your alignment specs will be a big factor. Why risk fender damage due to something as simple as rolling?

Underscore_Hero

I do plan to roll the rears.

But I was just noting the fact that thinner tires with stretch will rub "less" than wider tires. I'm happy as long as they don't rub the inner fender and wheel well.

Only real issue now is that the 275's are $70 more than the 265's (which are on sale)...time to save a lil more I guess.

Do rpf1 18x9.5 15 clear oem brembo upfront? Thinking of running these on my nismo and ditching the oem double stagger.

18x10.5 +15 275/40/18 wont rub the rear. my alignment specs is stock and I don't have any issues.

Mine started rubbing at 10.5 +25 , with a roll I was running at 10.5 +10 with that tire size.

I'm running BFG gforce sport comp2, haven't decided on what tire for autoX yet. been busy with school. I did pick up some 5MM spacers for the front and plan on running them with arp extended studs up front. The 18x10.5 +30 rubs the front spindle sightly on aggressive turns. Running 18x10.5 +30 275/30/18 up front.

Underscore_Hero

I thought you were running +15.

I'm planning on picking a set of Raijins 18x9.5 +15.
I want to do a square tire setup at 275/40 but from what ive seen here it might be easier to run a 35 series in the front and 40 in the back.

Or will a 40 series all around work fine too?

18x9.5/10.5 +15 RPF1s
255/40 275/40 Hankook V12 Evos

RPF1s look best on your car, either the black or silver.
