Depending on how bad a lot of people can actually repair them. I would look them up in google around your area.

Thoughts on 18x10.5" +15 all the way around with 275/35, 275/40 setup?

I'm thinking the Swift Spec R springs + spring mount mod for a total of 1.2"/1.5" f/r, drop. How will it fit?

Id do 275/40 all round. Makes it so you can rotate them and get longer life.

a 275/40/18 will be pretty hard to fit upfront without rubbing I would think

Depends on the tire in the rear. My fenders aren't rolled yet and I had 275/40 RE050As with Tein springs w/ mount mod. The tires stretched perfectly so I would only rub during hard cornering. I just bought the same size Sumitomos and I rubbed from just driving down the street. Had to put my stockers on until my fender roller gets here or I find different tires

Ahhh, good to know. So I may or may not need a nice roll. I'll just plan on having the fenders rolled before I buy wheels/tires.

Whelp, I think I might be the first to post pics of PF01's...

Front - 18"x9.5", +15mm offset, AD08 265/35 tires
Rear - 18"x10.5", +15mm offset, AD08 295/30 tires

Stock suspension. So question...if you notice, the wheels stick out from the fender ever so slightly. When I get coilovers and lower the car, will that pull the wheels in a bit more flush? I've seen plenty of pictures of people with 10.5" +15 wheels that seemed more flush than mine.

I'll post more pictures later, car's a little dirty no and I'm embarrassed to take too many pictures of it.

That looks great! Thanks for sharing. I like the new PF01 a lot. You are correct in that being lowered will create a more flush look, as a result of more negative camber.

Got the car washed up last night, so time for MOAR

One before pic and some more after pics...

I did this 75% for performance, 25% for looks. Even with a mostly stock engine, because my drive train is significantly reworked (clutch, flywheel, differential), I could never put what power I had to the ground effectively on stock wheels. I played around with it a little the other night and its SIGNIFICANTLY better. Even doing hard acceleration on a hard turn, the car just GOs...no more slip and slide. VERY controlled.

Now I just need to go do some monster truck rally's while my Z isn't dropped... I think my rear wheels have almost as much clearance as my neighbor's truck right now..
