Default SSR 18x9 +22 off set and 18X10 +24 offset with 275-35-18 tires Fitment question

The car: 2006 Z33
Suspension : Eibach Pro kit
camber settings -1.9 degrees all around
Wheels: SSR professor R 18x9 +24 offset front and 18X10 +24 offset rear
Tires: Nitto NT01 275-35-18 all around

I'm 90% sure this will fit without any issues but can anyone verify running this type of set up without issues? Any rubbing or clearance issues?

Thanks

You should be good to go. If you go to the Autocross/Road Racing forum there is a thread right on top that is called "My new track wheels/tires"

A lot of people in there are running 275/40R17 all around with mid to high 20's offsets and have no problems on lowered cars. I believe you will have more clearance for the a-arms as well with the 18" wheel.

275/40R17s are about .1" in diameter different than 275/35R18.

Since you have staggered wheels that you can't rotate , just get some 275/40 rears, they make them in nt01's. Yes there will be no problems with those wheels and tire sizes.

Default Thanks for the input. Streets of Willow was a blast and can't wait to go again.

The set up worked perfectly with out any issues what so ever as handling was great and I am amazed on how well the stock 2006 brakes held up. Water temps hit 230 degrees (with completely stock cooling system) which I am not sure if that is normal or not and I was really working the tiptronic tranny.

My wife, (its her car) did really well for her first time on a road coarse with the exception of one time missing the second apex of the bowl and going off track. I consider us lucky as the only thing that happen was a bunch of paint chips from flying rock debri.

I have to say I'm extremely impressed with the Z33 platform as I am a long time Z32 racer as the Z33 feels so much more balanced and I enjoy the instant throttle responce and swell of the electronic throttle body.
