Default I need your advise on this offset please...

How well would this work on a non-track Z. 18x8 +32 offset (front) and 18x9 +40 offset (rear). I can't get a lower offset because Im buying these rims 2nd hand. Anyone with experience please help me out and tell me how this would look. Spacers maybe?

I think the rears would look way too tucked in at +40. Spacers would do the trick provided you are willing to go through the leg work. I'm pretty happy with my setup which pushes the wheels to the corners pretty far with a +22 all around.

Check those spec against this calculator. http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html
stock specs are 18x8 +30 all around for touring & performance models.

I think you should be OK but I'm not sure, maybe one of our experts could chime in.

Thanks for the replys, according to the calculator:

1. The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 23mm LESS.
2. The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 3mm.

So it seems that the rears will sit 3mm further out. I dont really understand the first sentence in regards to what it means. Can you guys paint me a picture? Thanks

I beleive that's the same distance (#1) that people have with the 10.5 +22 rear wheels and have to roll the fenders in order for the rear not to rub.
