18x10 +42 offset. BAD OFFSET?
Hey guys,
I am looking around for some wheels and found one with 18x10 +42 offset. I believe that the offset is way to high, but since I am rather new to shopping for wheels, could someone tell me how this will fit on the Z? Will this have issues of sticking out too far and fender rubbing with certain size tires?
I have already checked the offset calculator and it says that it is
Inner clearance: 37mm LESS
Outer position: EXTEND an extra 13mm
THANKS!

offset is way to much you were right...that isn't a Z kind of wheel with a 10" tire anything with a +20 offset is where you want to be...take some time and search to find a setup you like that someone is running and mimic it

Thanks for the response.
This spec is for the rear wheels, but I guess the offset is still pretty darn high. I am guessing that this can be adjusted with a spacer, but I bet it is always better to just find a wheel with a better offset.
Anyone having problems running spacers (+20)?

I run 18x10.5 +20 in the rear with proper sized tires and required a roll. If you dont want to roll +20 on the close side, to +30 will be just fine.
