Thanks for replying.
How much camber do you think id have to add? Don't mind camber just want to keep it closer to the stock spec range. So the 22 offset infront with 275/35-18 all around would be a better fit? And 15 offset of front is out of the question if I want to stay closer to stock camber specs right?

10.5 fronts are not what you want. It's more for us who want max performance , with performance camber settings. Really no point of it without wanting to complete the package. Most of us who run these specs have around 3x more front camber, 2 reasons , first to clear, second, because it's needed for max grip in the corners.

For sure gotchu I was just looking into it for the convenience of rotation but I'll stick to the 18x9.5 18x10.5 set up I was originally looking into thanks for the help really appreciate it.

Noob here looking for some advice on what I can/should run

Bought the car and hate how it looks as is, currently has a 18x10 (offset was unknown by previous owner) all round set up with 225/40/18 & 245/40/18

Was at a few tire shops and they recommend going with a 245/40/18+275/40/18.
I was hoping to fit a 265+295, do you think that would fit?
Dropped about an inch on Eibach pro series,

Was hoping to run a little wider to loose some or all of this stupid stance, don't mind fender rolling, any other suggestions appreciated. Sorry if I'm missing something or this is the wrong section to post this.

First two things, post a pic of the wheel, many of us may know what you have. Second, are there spacers installed ?

I'll get right on that, any preferable angles? And no, no spacers. Not sure how to make them smaller pics soz. And yes I know cheap rims/this brand are frownded upon here before any comments are made ;P they came with the car so I'm stuck with them for a bit.

I believe they are +20 , you will have no issues with a 295/35 rear and 265/35 or 275/35 front

You will be fine, the rear is right on the edge of rubbing , and may slightly touch depending on your alignment specs. The front is perfectly good with the 255/40 and that is a great conbo with a 275/40 rear.

285/40 rear , it's very possible, it will probably rub without a roll. IMO, I would stick with 275/40 rear

Sounds like RPF1's. Front is right on the edge , usually you need to pull the fender liner screw and your good. The rear will need a roll, with either tire.

285/40-18 is a bit tall and uncommon size. I would just get a 275/40-18

I have a 2006 base
tein lowering springs .6" front .7" rear, however i believe it might be closer to a 1 drop. not sure on the camber i bought it with the springs already installed.
can i run a 19x9.5 +15 offset
front 255/35
rear 275/35
I was also considering an 18x9.5 +20 with 255/40 and 275/40
Will both setups clear without rolling?
I'm away at school right now and can't add more pictures this is the only one I have on my computer.

Front are 18x9.75 with +20 offset wrapped in v12s 255/40
Rears are 18x9.75 with +20 offset wrapped in v12s 275/40

I currently am on eibach springs with about -2 ish camber all around.

I have a set of BC coil overs coming in in the next few days and want to know a guesstimate of how low I can go while not adding a lot of camber. I want to be low but don't want unreasonable camber and no rub. I have rolled the fenders a little but haven't gone full into being as it was my first time rolling fenders.

9.5 is common, 10 is easy, 10.5 gets tricky

Roll the rears and you have a lot more flexibility. Not rolling really limits your choices in wheels and tires.

Hi everyone. Looking into getting first set of wheels and want to make sure everything sounds good to go before I put the dent in my wallet.

I have a 03 base 350z. Stock suspension and non brembo brakes. Fenders aren't rolled and not planning to really have them rolled if possible. I am looking into the SSR GTV03.

Measurements are as follows:

Wheels
18"x8.5 offset +30 front
18"x9.5 offset +22 rear

Tires
225/45/18 front
265/40/18 rear

Thanks for the help guys.

You can pretty much set the car on the ground with your setup. It's far from aggressive.

i would seriously look into wider wheels. I would also at minimum run a 245/40-18 front tire with your current combo.

Thanks for the response terrasmak!

Well the 18s only go up to 9.5 width. On those wheels.
What if I had them staggered at:

18x9.5 offset +30 front
19x 10.5 offset +15 or +25

Appreciate the help as I've been trying to figure this out.
