I was over at my friends house the other day working on his EVO X and put his wheels on my car just to see. They are 18x9.5 +28 with 245/40-18 all around. I was surprised how good the front fitment was. Seems like these wheels on front with some 18x9.5 +22 in the back and some 275/35s all around would be a pretty sweet setup.

 

Not bad. If you could photochop it lower, it would definitely look sweet. Is it me or is your car faded?

 

That curb rash makes me cringe!

+28 is perfectly fine fitment for a Z, nothing to be surprised about.

 

i like the color combo. and the brakes.

Red and Bronze

 

ummm sorry but that doesn't look right.

 

No its not faded, I took the pictures with my iPhone and it didnt react well to how bright it was outside that day.

 

I cringed when I saw that curb rash too. The EVO will be down for a while so the wheels will be going into the repair shop soon.

 

IMO +28 is pretty tucked in there. I am running 19x9.5 +22 and I'm thinking about either 5mm or 10mm spacer (can't decide which one) to get the wheel out where I think it should be, aesthetically speaking.

 

+1 on curb rash, high offset, and need of a drop

i'm not liking the combo too much. needs more balance. the red overpowers it too much as the dominant color. the wheels would look better in a brighter custom color like gold, mag blue, or white etc.

 

I think the fact that these are not my wheels got lost somewhere. Just wanted to see what the +28 looked like on the front and it looks like you could fit a Fat tire up there without having to run crazy camber. The only reason I posted this is because I haven't seen anyone running these wheels on the front and it looks like it might be a good setup with some 18x9.5 +22 out back and 275s or 285s all around.

 

I understood what you meant, but I still think it would look more proper to have a lower offset (somewhere +22 to +15) and you could still fit a pretty good size tire. For example, I am running CE28's in 19x9.5 +22 with 255/35/19 tire and the rim of the wheel is about flush with the outside of the fender while the top of the tire is a good 10mm or more inside the fender (i.e. there is a decent amount of stretch).

For research purposes:

 

I run 285 up front on a 10.5" +15 wheel.

Looks amazing and grips like god.

 

Looking good. I just got TE37's in 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 +22 all around and I will most likely be going with 255/35-19s in the front. What's your camber in that picture?

 

OP you will need to consider whether your brakes will clear whatever you purchase.
How much clearance did the +28's have? I'm not sure about +15's without a spacer.

I would suggest you use the StopTech template or go to someone who know's how to measure your wheels appropriately before pulling the trigger on anything.

Here is the StopTech template page:

i have personally not tried a +12 ce-28 front w/ my setup.

always wanted those, and then found my ssr type-f's for free.

 

Couldn't tell ya unfortunately. I had just gotten done installing my coilovers so my alignment was all out of whack.

 

I hope that post helps someone searching in the future. The +28s have lots of clearance, the 19in 9.5 and 10.5 +22 TE37 fit over the brakes no problem. Also the stock five spoke 18s fit without any issues.
