Default wheel offset help!!!

I just ordered a set of 18x9.5 +12 offset all around Work Emotion CR Kai for my z!! I'm a little worried about the front sticking out to far. Does anyone know if the +12 up front will stick out to far?

Yep, you better just cancel your order right now!!! No they won't in my opinion lots of people run +12 offset. Next time you post something use the search function, and you will find all sorts of feedback.

those tires will work and allow you to drop the car a lot. You could also put bigger tires on if you want, it all depends on how much fender work you want to do. The reason everyones pics look different is due mostly to Camber, it plays tricks on you when just looking at pics. Becasue with camber you can tuck the wheel and make it look flush while leaving it at zero camber may make it poke out and look funny to your eye!

yea i figure, Im saving for the camber arms. Im planning on running super agressive, I'm probably gonna run -2.5 to -3 camber front and -2 to -2.5 rear dont know exactly yet. I'm going 245/40/18 all around because i want to stretch the tire a little bit. 275/40/18 is all bubbley and ugly on a 9.5 rims with the 245 i can drop it and look good still!!!

+12 is fine...dont worry about it. If anything, just camber like crazy. I have +12 all around and no rubbing.
