Yeah someone keyed the damn car and it sucks. Getting the whole car resprayed soon and might be changing the color. As far as the wheels i think the fitment is perfect. Its been raining for like 2 straight weeks here so the next decent day ill wash the car and get some better shots to show the fitment. The front was rubbing so i rolled it a little and the rear is rolled and pulled slightly.

Barefoot... who'd you buy the black one's from? Every dealer I call says they can't get them for RWD, only FWD sizes.

No, you're dumb. It's a Z, not a Volkswagen. It's not even your car. As you can see, he and I had a discussion that did not in any way involve you and he agrees with my opinion. So, in the immortal words of the McKenzie brothers, "take off, you hoser".

I'll make 2 points:
1. The front, IMO, looks more concave in person that the pictures show (if that is whats throwing you off).
2. The lip on the 9.5 +15 front sticks past the fender a few mms (-1.5 front camber, fender is 25-5/8" from ground, dropped on RSR springs). Since I am running a stretch now, it makes the stance look more diminutive that it really is. When doing my research for wheels, all the 10.5 +15 front setups were just over the top, again IMO (you have to see a head-on shot to really get a feel for just how much the 10.5 +15 front "pokes"). Does a 10.5 front work and look aggressive, definitely. It does little else than look good, and has little practical advantage aside from being able to rotate your square setup. Then again, people seem to have no issues mounting 285/30s up front with a 10.5 +15. I'd be curious to know how much front camber they are running.
Maybe next time I have my wheels off I'll mount them in reverse just to see what the 10.5 +15 front looks like in person on my setup.
Edit: Check out how the front lip sits in relation to the fender on a 9.5 +15 (pokes a few mm out past the fender)

Call TireRack, tell them you have a set of Enkei wheels they sell and they will sell you the hubcentric rings for them. They will also be able to tell you the correct bore sizes (73/66mm IIRC).

If I have stock suspension, no immediate plans to change it, and want to go with a set of RPF1 18's what is the best tire size to use if I do not want stretch? I am thinking the 18x9.5's in the rear and the 18x8.5 in the front (RPF1's). It is a shame they do not make that size in black for an all black car. I plan to auto-x and use these for a daily driver in the summer fall and spring. Still debating on tire model choice.
