Front looks dropped but the rear is kind of high.

Have you got an alignment yet? for such a conservative drop it looks like you have massive camber in the back.

Wheels look great though...maybe do the spring seat mod in the back to level things out.

the drop looks conservative because they tires are too short, they can work for the front, but a 265/35/18 doesn't look right in the rear.

it also makes the wheels look really small, that and the big lip. should got 19's, or the regular rs' in 18's.

Looks good.
I agree though. either 18" RS or 19" RS-Ds would have looked even better.
19" RS-Ds in matte black would have been freakin nasty awesome.

The reason I have got 18s because I will road race the car, no need for 19s. Also I will use 285s in the rear before my first event, an will run some aggressive alignment. Consider it a test fitment

so you are going to use a 265/285 stagger for a track setup?

if you got 18x10's why not a square 295 setup?

i feel ya on not wanting 19's. i get sick of buying two sets of 18's(285/35) a year. having a set of 17's for the track is really the way to go.

Thanks, I know. I used to have a 500whp road race evo, would go through couple different sets of wheels a year

They are +25 18x10 all the way around

Even though my evo was full out track car, I don't want to do the same with a Z.
As for tires - my problem is that I am going to be in a street class, where for RWD car max tire is 285....Now I do have a very good front tire (265/35/18 Advan AD07) but from the looks as so forth I need to wider in the rear (285s perhaps)...I also didn't want to have street wheels, then Track wheels with street tire and then track wheels with R comp tire (for Time Trials), so I decided to get RS-D as my street/ track wheels with street tire, and then I will purchase 17s for R-comp. tires (I hope it makes sense)

Yeah, who was that? I have been sponsored by Slick Motorsports. They have been taking care of my cars for about 4 years now

Thanks guys for the comments, now do you have any suggestions? I close the gap in the rear a bit, should I go with 285/40/18 tire? I am lowered on Swift springs, conservative drop, but I don't want to buttom out (which happens from time to time with current drop)

wheels look good.
if a 40 is available in the brand and match the other specs you want. maybe try that to help fill the gap a little.
was suggested to me for lowering just on tein springs, so just passing along.

I don't think this color plays as well with the car as a black or gold.

It's an opinion of course. You could optimize appearance via lowering
and different tire selection...

unfortunately not my fave wheel at this pricepoint.
