I search around and didn't find anything quite like this.. if it's lurking in the forums around somewhere I apologize.

On to the question, how hard would it be to fit a 18x12 -8 offset wheel in the back of a Z? Would it be possible to pull it off with a stretched tire and camber?

I had my Z slammed, with maybe 1.5" of ground clearance, with the stock '06 wheels and 1.25" spacers all around, and the rears would tuck with about .25" of clearence with my current fender roll.

With that said according to my calculations the 18x12 -8 wheel would stick out past the fender about a inch and a quarter... I was thinking a reasonably stretched tire(nothing too crazy) and some camber would make the wheel seem more flush.. again this is for the REAR. The front wheels fit fine.

Also I realize I will not be able to tuck these without major camber or a widebody kit, but I don't mind raising the car a bit.

Thanks for your time.

 

sir, lay down the bong, and step away from the car. please

 

hahaha

 

Never mind, some more searching and some luck lead me to my answer.

18x12.5 -14 offset. 335/30/18 tires for the rear with a more aggresive offset.

I won't be running that wide of a tire, but anyways, thanks for the unnecessary *** hat comments. Cheers.

 

Hey lets get ridiculous.

 

this whole project/idea sounds retarded...

but you know what... its his car, let him do what he wants.

 

How did the 18x12 wheels work out?

 

Ended up with different wheels, I'll make an introduction thread and post some pics later today.
