just came across a good deal on a set of equips, anyone running these sizes or anything close, i have jic coilovers and rear spc cambers, front fender is rolled,rears are being cut tonight by muah any pics or reassurance is appreciated, i dont wanna waste my time test fitting them if there gonna stick out alot i want it to be semi flush to the body. thanks ahead
rears are 18x11.5 -10
fronts are 18x10.5 +5

 

Daaammmm...! that's a huge lip..you're gonna need sum krazee work done to get those to fit..but those would be better on a widebody car...I'm assuming that's what the seller had them on...rite?

 

i dont even know what he had them on, i need specifics ima pull the trigger on saturday ive seen 11.5 on other z's on here and it looked good just nobody has these offsets, someone help me

 

your gonna have to get lower adjustable toe/camber arms and alot of messing with the suspension to get this to work...I'm guessing your on Coils because its goin to require alot of adjusting to get this to work...but if you do....Its goin to be crazy sick!!!!

 

ya im on jic's, im just second guessing if i wanna bother with everything but i know these would be ridiculous if done right, if someone here has a pic and is running something similiar ill probably get them, if not ima go with something a little mellower, thanks for your input guys

 

hey bro, i've been looking for equips also, these are the sizes that have been run by a couple members here

18x10 +4
18x12 +4
and
18x10.5 +3
18x11-3

good luck on your search!

 

^^^^^^i searched this site up and down and theres one member that has 11 inch rears but wont list the offset, it looks like im just gonna have to go test fit em and see what it looks like, hopefully it doesnt stick out stupid, i saw a guy by usc couple weeks ago had 12 inch rear works and it looked nasty they were sticking out prolly 2 inches on each side with no camber

 

Nice find, to get the fronts to work your going to need to pull your front fenders about 10mm or so and run around -2.5 to -3 degrees camber and run a 235 tire ( I'm running 10.5 +4et front and this is what i did to make them fit, if your lower then me they wont stick out as far as mine do in the picture and you could probably run a big tire like a 245) the rears are more aggressive then mine.

 

if ur not educated in offsets then dont do it... a bunch of us are running the same width.. but that offset is whole diff ballgame. -10 is going to stick out very far..the guy u seen running a 11 width on here prolly has atleast a +20 offset.. ur going to need extended lugs, fender mod, suspension work. and to me it just wouldnt be worth it or very safe. i wouldnt do it.

 

Strange nickname man

AWWWW SNAP we got the mafioso up in this biznatch! BTW i saw those on Zilvia too you might want to pass on those, too much work in my opinion.

 

check out these guys inventory /http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/jdmautohouse/
i bought my rims from these quys and would highly recommend, they even have a set of equips right now.

 

In my opinion I would stay away from 18's with serious offsets unless you enjoy hard parkin and drive it just 20 miles a week. The fronts will work with just a good roll and pull as far as the rears there will be a lil bit of poke but you will have to go as low as I did just to even get close to pullin it off. Here is a few pics just to give you an idea.

 

hey busted shox give us the 411 on rolling a car with the aggresive offsets. I like to go drifting and cruise at a decent pace but love the look you pulled off. With the 18's you were rolling is it possible to get up to decent speeds 60-70 mph or is it more of a bring out on the weekend type deal. Also driving in the rain better or worse? Possible to go drifting or aggresive driving? thanks for any info. Also can you get full lock?

 

I had my friend (barefootracer) roll my fenders and he was able to roll and flare the rears quite a bit. If you have somebody that has a eastwood and knows what there doing there is alot of room to be had on a z's front and rear fenders. I drove my car hard at times and never really had a problem and it actually handled really well with the stretch I had goin. As for drifting or aggressive driving its gonna all depend on your setup. Stiffness/Softness of your suspension...camber/toe...tires. I went with 18x12's so I could run a 275 out back...still keep a good stretch while not taking anything way from the car as far as handling. I was able to get full lock and as for driving in the rain I had nexen tires and they seemed to do well. Loved the way it looked but the roads where I live blow and to me the car was just made for hard parkin.

 

THANKS bro!

 

wow busted i couldnt pull that off but man it looks good, i found some equips at rbmotoring too that are a good size and offset but they arent as cheap as these, i already passed on the deal and im most likely buying drelocs s1's which are way mellower but still decently aggressive, thanks for everyones input you guys helped alot

 

thats funny rbmotoring and jdm auto house on ebay are the same, i made a offer on those equips just waiting to hear back there 19x9.5/10.5 +18

 

I run a 18x11 +10 work equips on my rear (265/35 slight stretch) right now sits flush (previous owner had a 10mm spacer and still didn't stick out funny) the front is 18x10+35 and gonna use like a 20-25mm spacer to fit flush...I think this set up would work
