You heard wrong , 18x10 +25 will easily fit , the are people running 18x10.5 +15 up front too. That is my next front wheel size with a 285/35-18 on it.

Alright, I think I've decided on 18x9.75 e20. Now I'm trying to decide if I should run 275/35R18 front and 275/40R18 rear. I want an aggressive look but I do live in florida and I'm worried 275 will be worse in rain. Otherwise, they should clear everything and be just fine, right?

Default 19x9.5" Sq with ET 20

Guys request a recommended semi aggresive tyre set up for a Sq. set up of 19x9.5", ET20. (These are the only offsets i can get locally)

The car is loweed by approx 1.2" front & 1" rear.
Want the rears tyres to be wider for a staggered look. Dont mind adding spacers as well. Want to avoid the streched tyre look. Fenders are stock.
This is a Daily drive.

Cheers

Well for the thread you posted in

245/35-19 front and 245/40-19 rear if you want the narrow slight stretch
275/30-19 front and 275/35-19 rear if you want wider tires

255/35 or 275/30 all around may also be a good combo for you.

From the side it will look like any other 19 inch wheel combo running with the proper tire height black tires installed.

Default Anyone running 19x9.5" Et 20 sq. setup?

Is anyone running a 19x9.5" Squared setup with ET20?

These are the only set i can get in ROTA IK-R (Grid 2) locally.
Dont want a streatched tyre Euro look. A PHAT tyre look will be prefereed.
Car is lowered by approx 1.5 & 1" (F&R) Stock fenders.

Dont mind using spacers to get the staggered look. Dont want to sacrifice too much of the steering wheel feel by putting very fat tyres upfront either.

Any pics of a similar setup & prefereed tyre sizez wil lbe appreciated.

Haha I have heard that before. I would like to get a set of original TE37 but are very expensive after adding shipping. Plus just got the car so have a budget.

These are available locally in stock. I dont track. This is a weekend car.

Any pics of this setup ??

On your car it will look like a bronze wheel with a black rubber tire mounted on it, it will also have the same tire height as a stock Z , just with a bigger wheel.

Look for sommeone running an 8.5 and 9.5 +20 combo , that will show you how the rear looks, then look at someone running a 9.5 and 10.5 combo, that will show you what the front looks like. I bet there is a Rota wheel thread too. Look there.

Cant get 255-35-19 locally.

Will 245-35-19 front & rear 275-35-19 on square 19x9.5 ,ET20 all around- work well?
Both front & rear 35 profile will not give me a rake?

That will also work well, and yes you will have the proper rake in cause by tire height.

Well the wheel wells are different from front to rear, when you run the same height tire and lower it for equal gap, the rear looks lower than the front. If you want it level, keep the stagger in tire height and lower it so your fender gaps are the same.
