Wheel question
Ok so my friends and I all got free sets of slicks @ the Rolex 24.
The size is 305 660 18
From what I know 660=35 profile
So... what size/offset wheel would be ideal to run 18" 305's in the rear?
I'm looking for a relatively cheap pair or set of wheels.
I don't care if they're "zo6" wheels or whatever...

Also, keep in mind a racing tire @ 305 is probably wider than a 305 street tire. Hoosier R6s in a 305 is 315 in comparison. With Pirelli Grand Am tire maybe even wider.
18 x 10.0-11.00 +20 with -2.5 toe might get close to tucking it in. Or, just run it wide with the coilovers set higher to reduce rubbing.

im looking for two rear 18" wheels to fit 305/35/18 tires and to fit my 350z... i thought mayb corvette rims would fit.. but i think the bolt pattern is diff. Any other oem rims you can think of? they have to be at least 18x9.5

Why do you say its wider? 305 is a measurement in milimeters. If both are 305, they should be equally wide. No?

Enkei NT03's in 10.5 +30 is what you need.

I'd hate for someone to buy wheels just for a set of tires they got for free. Keep in mind that it's much easier and cheaper to get new tires than wheels! Buy your wheels in sizes/ offsets that you need and then select tires that fit.
What you can/ should do is sell the tires and then use that money to buy a set that you know you'll use.
Good luck.

Enkei NTO3's , they come in 18x10.5 with +30 , that will be what you need to fit them.
