![Question](https://my350z.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hey guys,
well i came accross a good deal on some p45's, they do come with tires.. and since the economy is in a big $h!th0le i can't really afford to spend alot on rims. i've never been a rim/tire guy.. the only thing i know is that the lower the offset the more flush the wheels would be.
here are the specs of the wheels:
Front: Rota P45F 18x8.5 +30 w/ 235/40-18
Rear: Rota P45R 18x9.5 +35 w/ 265/35-18
Fusion ZRi's all the way around.
the tires have about 90% thread left..
now my car is on stock height, no suspension mods at all. i was wondering if this setup would work on my car. i don't want to do any wheel stretching since the offset is a bit high, which Serf suggested spacers. i will lower my car in the near future once i come accross a good set of springs.
**i tried searching, got a couple of answers.. but i would like some reassurance from the wheel gurus here lol**
here is a picture of my car for reference.. i tried searching for a sideprofile to show my wheelgap

I have 18x9+20 and 18x10+20.. I'm currently running 245/40/18 and 275/40/18. I have pics of it w/o being lowered.. I just picked up a set of Eibach Coilovers that will be installed as soon I step foot in the US. Take a look at the pic.. you may be able to judge what exactly your looking for in tire and suspension. I know there's a 2mm difference in the wheel offset.. but I think you can get a pretty good image of what you'll get. I hope this helps in any way.

The 265's will make good front tires , so you will still need to buy a set of rear tires. Spacers are going to set you back around $220. So after buying tires and spacers, IS IT WORTH IT?

[QUOTE=Rodizzle;7728695]I have no front lip and I probably lowered myself more than two inches all around. I wanted the semi-stretched look. But next time I will go with 275/35/18 and 245/35/18.
It looks very very nice.. but if you go lower on the profile your going to have to lower the car more to get rid of the gap. I had a similar problem with my previous car.
