Enkei Kojin - Will these work?
Ok, I've been doing some research, and even made another thread.
I've pretty much settled on the Enkei Kojin wheels.
http://www.enkei.com/kojin.shtml#
I have a 2003 Touring, so my current wheels sizes are 18x8 w/ a 30mm offset all the way around, and I have 245/45/18 and 225/45/18 tires.
I'm wanting to stick to an 18" wheel, and I'm looking at a 9.5" width.
For that the Kojins have an 18x9.5 in 5x114.3 with a 15mm offset and a 30mm offset.
I want the new set up to look a bit more aggressive than the stock look, so I was thinking the 15mm offset for the kojins. With 275/40/18 and 255/40/18 tires. Thats a .2% difference in circumference than stock, so I know that VDC will be appeased; however, I just want to make sure that I'm understanding everything right.
The 15mm offset will make the wheels stick out a bit farther than stock?
And will the 15mm offset fit in the Z w/o a fender roll or will I need to have them rolled?
If that 15mm isn't going to give me at least a solid flush look, then I'll need to look into spacers I guess, but I'll await feedback for now.

Prior to owning this Z, I was capable of doing basic maintenance, as in oil change, change a tire type stuff
So I'm learning a lot in the Journey that is this Z.
