Wow, they do look like spares. Can I have your honest opinion... do you really think when looking at the rear of your car that your wheels "fill out" the car? 7.5's are so tiny in comparison to our cars.

You should definitely buy stocks. I don't think anyone on the forums will buy those wheels though to be honest.

OP:
If you posted this on a national site, please be prepared to receive the proper anwers by enthusiasts who will tell you from real experience and technical expertise. Everyone understands people have a budget etc.. but thats not WHAT you asked, and thats certainly not WHO you asked either.

These are the only actual questions you posted in your thread OP:

So what would be a good size to go to for the rear?
thats totally up to your choice, but the tendency is the larger the better in terms of looks, which is what you asked about.. but not necessarily for performance.. hence we have no idea what your leaning towards aside from the fact you certianly are not out for performance w a set up like that. So back to looks.. you cant runa good looking tire becuase your offset is off, and horribly so. Everyone is just being honest, and it didnt appear anyone was being a jerk about it luckily.

I was thinking 255/45/18 or is it possible to do 265/40/18 or would that be too much? 265 is not too wide, again, your offsets are hideous tho. Your answer? no, its not too much, i ran 275 w the PROPER offsets which placed the wheel much farther towards the outside of the car than your set up.


all posts about the offsets being horrendous and judgements on what others willthnk of you may or may not be important, but since you did ask an opinion, this is what youget.

My advice> Go get cheap tires and milk em until you can get some proper offest wheels.. even XXrs are cheap.. at least do that. I agree those wheels youve got have a popular look, but they dont fit right, and lame looking wheels but with sick offsets and sizing still look far better than cool wheels meant to be fit to another vehicle.. car ppl can always tell . Sorry, but good luck tho too.

on a 7.5 rim those size tires are too big. Offset isnt everything width is as well.

OP you are pushing it running anything over a 245 on a 7.5 rim. You are asking for problems and it is not recommended.

I know someone with 225's on a 7.5 and that is a straight sidewall soo I know 245 is already starting to bulge.

its time for a tire change for the rear and want a more aggressive look

here are specs on rims

18x7.5

5x100 Bolt Pattern
45mm offset
Gloss black with machined lip.
Universal

right now running 245/45/18 with no camber wear. Not suprising since i have adjustable control arms/camber arms front and back and get an alignment every oil change.

So what would be a good size to go to for the rear?

I was thinking 255/45/18 or is it possible to do 265/40/18 or would that be too much?

Sorry dude, those wheels look like they belong on a FWD

Put them on craigslist and get some better fitting wheels and tires rather than trying to adapt these to the Z

Why would he purchase it if he didn't like the wheels?

You have a point (damn good deal 3 years ago) but with those savings I would have definitely sprung for some new wheels.

Now is when I have to say put the crack pipe down dude. I could literally throw a rock out the window and hit a car with better looking wheels than yours. Go to the wheels and tires section of this site and go over all the threads with wheels in them. Hopefully you will come to the realization that your wheels should be set on fire and thrown into a dumpster with you going out and buying wheels the very next day.
