Don't know if they clear or not, but you will probably want to 5 to 10mm spacer up front anyhow. A lot larger spacer out back.

They spacers are needed up front for the 10.5's , not needed at all to run the 9.5's.

There are no problems running quality spacers on the track

Ok fair enough, just no reason to create a thread outside of this one since the info is here or the discussion should stay here to keep it organized...

I did a quick search and found your answer:

18x9.5 (27) 18x10.5 (+30) rear with Brembos and no spacers

Tire setup: 275/35/18 and rears are 275/4518

Yes i have, thats why i have mentioned you need a spacer. 5mm minimum up front, none are required out back.

Default Tax Return Rims

So I just got my tax return as I'm sure others are as well. I have a 2004 touring 6speed manual with the stock 17inch rims. I'm about to get myself some Enkei FN-18. Front: 18x8.5 with a 24mm offset. Rear: 18x9.5 25mm offset. What does everyone think? What tire sizes do people think I should look into? I'm thinking about 245/40/18 front and 275/40/18 rear.

I would rethink your wheel sizes first.


The 18x9.5 +25mm would be decent for the front but you definitely want to go wider in the rear.

It's curious that your '04 Touring 6-spd would have come with 17" wheels as stock. I have the exact same year and model, but to my knowledge that car came only with 18" rims. While the Touring automatic would have had the 17's, the 6 spd came only with 18's. Possibly a previous owner might have exchanged then for 17's?

Enkei FN-18 is not a very popular style for the Z. If you want to stick with Enkei , you can look into RPF1, NT03 which are very popular choice for the Z.
