Default offset/fitment question

18x8+45 and 18x9+45 114.3


What offsets would I need to find for these to stick out a little in the rear and fit the z properly? I have an 03 track edition and I know my wheels now are 18x8 +30 front and 18x8.5 +33 rear so would I need to mimic these offsets are go a little lower for more aggressive fitment? I have not decided on tires yet either. I really like the look of these wheels and want to go with them and sets are difficult to find. Im not even 100 percent they will clear the brembos either, but I think they will. All input is appreciated.

Beautiful wheels with crazy offsets.

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

You want to get the offsets in the 20's or 10's to look proper. You could use spacers 20mm or something...

Cool if you have a s2k. Go with something in the low +30 or even better in the +20's

You would need a 45mm spacer to make these look right... lol

I personally like the blitz 03. They may be played out on mr2ls and supras but its something diff on a z. And they are cheap. So many diff numbers of spacers thrown out there.

I could find them in +35 and run 10-15mm spacers to get them in +20-22 range.
