I got an 03 based Z, thinking of running SSR Type F 18x9.5 ET22 all around. it is for everyday commute. Also planing for weekend track events. Wondering if those size and offset would work. Input on tire size will be appreciated as well.

 

that setup fits. some guys on here will probably advise you to go more aggressive (as i would). with 18x9.5 you'd be good with a 275 series tire

 

Looks good. 275s all around and you can rotate them. If you don't plan on rotating, you could go larger in the rear.

 

I would go 275 all the way around. I have 18x9.5 +20 all the way around with 245/40 fronts and 275/40 rears and I do not like it much. going 275 all the way around when the fronts wear enough.

 

i have 9.5 all around on 225's, hehe
cant fit much bigger with F -4 and R -9

but thats just my drift setup untill the rest of my big boy rims come in

 

If i was to do it again, i'd do 18X9.5 + 12 all around. Much cleaner look than the staggered look.

 

What's the widest tire you would run on that setup front and rear? Could you run 265 all around lowered on stance coils?

 

Im running that (265 all around) setup now plus with 25mm spacer in the back and will be adding 10mm up front. I actually prefer this setup the car turns quicker plus feels lighter.

 

running 18x9.5 +15 all around no spacers on 275/35

 

You get alot of rubbage?

 

No rubbage, but I run atleast -3.0 up front and -2.5 in the rear which may be a little aggressive for most DD, but I love it..

Tires are Dunlop Durezza Star Specs

My cars the black HR, second to last picture under the dyno day event.

Do you have any pics?

You got anymore pics?

 

do it .. i got it

 

Not the best pics but here you go. I had to roll the rears which was easy just used a heat gun and a pry bar.

 

With 9.5 vs 8.0 in front (OEM specs), how it will affect handling and performance? Isnt it too wide ?

 

^ no it wont it actually increases it

 

If you run a 275/35 tire it shouldnt rub, dropped 1''. You may have to cut the fender in the rear, but I doubt it. 275/40 will likely rub on soft springs.
