Thumbs up 18x10.5 (+0) Fitment questions

I'm in the market for some wheels and the pair I landed on are 18x10.5 all the way around with 0 offsets... how well will they be fitted on my 350z that has no fender roll?

they won't. You will need a fender roll.

Twenty4, not necessarily.. The fronts are rolled from the factory and fitment will depend a LOT on tire size. and depending on the size of tires you may need some camber to fit them. If you are going to slam and put super stretched tires on there, you would be fine with +0 offsets.

I had 19x9.5 +0 with 245/35/19 tires and they looked great.

I'd try for 255 or even 265 with either a 35 or 40 series side wall depending on the brand of tire for a beefy aggressive look.



What are your suspension mods if any? Future plans?

Since that was quickly answered im also shopping for new wheels for my daily. i have 2 sets in mind one 19X9.5+12 / 19X10.5 +12
The other i am more interested has a 19X9.5 +12 19X10 +22, but i want to do the 10.5 +22 all around due to the nice lip and i like the even lip size look rather then the staggered.

i know the fitment will work as others have done 10.5 X 4 but my question is more so about fitment on the tire on the front wheel. ive seen from 245/35 , 235/35 , 255/35. i want something more flush or a very slight stretch, but would like to know what the fattest size would be also if i want to go wider in the future.

I know this all depends on how low i go , i want a low drop maybe around 2 - 3

18x10.5+0 for the front is pretty damn aggressive. Expect to stretch a 235 or maybe a 245 width tire for the fronts.

Since it seems you are looking at varrs, just look at the varr thread. You can find plenty of pictures of setups there and decide what you like the best.

yes varrstoens but those would be my last resort , im looking at the euro tech eu05. which i could do the 9.5+12 with the 10.5+22 but i wanted the lip size to match so im trying to squeeze the 10.5 in the front.

If you're going for that hellaflush crap look, you're gonna wanna roll your fenders anyway so you can get the wheel as close to the outer fender wall as possible. No point being slammed and stretched with gap because your fenders aren't rolled.

i understand what your saying , and im not trying to be extream with the flush look since i do daily drive my car...but since i do want to sqeeze a a 10.5 in the front i know the rears will need some spacers. let me put this another way....whats a safe tire size for a 19x10.5 up front with and about a 2 in drop

Common to see 18x10.5 +0 (spaced) with RPF1 owners/track junkies, semi aggressive but far from hellaflush. We have a 10.5 square thread here just search for it. You will have to get a roll.

I'm on 19x10/11 +10 and it's only a slight poke.

I'm going with a 235/35 for my front 10.5 -6's. I'll still need to pull the fenders a little. It'd be safer for OP to go with 10 in the front, .5 in the rear.

stock heights don't need fender rolls UNLESS you're using truck tires or something. Once you start lowering cars, the amount of fender finessing needed will be determined by specs of the tires and wheels. There are 2 threads that you can reference. The Var thread because it has those specs all up and through it and the aggressive...stretched tire thread which has all sorts of ridiculousness in it.

1" drop with Tokico DS2 shock/spring kit, 245/275, rolled in the rear.

To get an idea on the 10.5 +0 This is me on a 19/10/+10 on 235

10.5 +0 will be pretty damn aggressive as mentioned for up front and may depend on how low you're going but I'm pretty sure you'd have to do some fender work.

Good stuff, I used your specs and pics as reference when my wheels were being built.
