You're good on either specs, choose your favorite from the two

Fixed it for you, either of those will work great front and rear. Tenzo is a complete and total crap wheel , so Enkei would be my choice.

Thanks Terrasmak.
Can you please specify for rear Enkei offset, which should I go for, +15 or +35?

some guys said Tenso is low-end wheel, some said it is good. Appreciate if you can tell what's the difference between these two brands?

Thanks!

The +15 offset will be aesthetically better since it pushes the outside of the wheel farther out from the center of the car. Meanwhile a 9.5" wide wheel with +35 offset will be considerably swallowed up by the Z's rear wheel wells.

+15 is the wheel you will want.

8.5 wide? fail

liQUidSkYZ

from what i understand so far
front 18x8.5 +35
rear 18x9.5 +15
is what recommend to swat518
if u said "neither" & "8.5 wide is fail" then i should go with 18x9.5 +15 all round?

If it were me, i'd do 18x9.5 +15 all around, add 10-15mm spacer in the rear. and tire sizes.. there are a lot of options. I'd probably do 255 in the front and 275 in the rear.

Terrasmak knows tires a lot more than me.. let him tell you, lol.

back in march the threat stop when terrasmak mention that +15 is the whell u want...
i got confuse

got cha 18x9.5 +15 all round but need to add 10-15spacer in the back

what is the reason for add spacer in the back? is it just because of the look-bigger lips-deeper concave?
**for example** comparing [18x9.5 +15 with 20mm spacer] & [18x9.5 +35]
both will have the same flushing widith at the rear fender the only different is +15 offset rim will look better

TheFknBoss

+35 in front? Wtf your gonna need a 10mm spacer min to bring it out to the fender go 15 all around if possible or do a square setup

TheFknBoss

With those tires sizes you'd run 225 255

Just grab 9.5 +15 for front and rear, mount some 255/40 up font and 275/40 on the back. You may want a small spacer for the rear , depending on your liking.

liQUidSkYZ

18x9.5 +15 all 4 rims
front 255/45/18
rear 275/40/18 + 15mm spacer

@ least 9.5 8.5 looks good on the G sedan but not a Z.

spend more time in the enkei thread and look at what other guys are running to see what fits your style.
