Can anyone confirm if these are good specs for the z?
Still kinda noob when it comes to wheel specs sorry lol

Enkei rpf1; 18x9.5 +45 and 18x8.5 +40 with a 5x114.3 lug pattern.

Thanks for the help guys.

horrible offset, you want something better. my rears are 18x9.5 x22 and fronts are 18x8.5 +25 (i think) with the +40 on these the wheels will be way sunk in and look like dog butt. most people get a +15

I wonder if this is covered I the top 100 questions.

i am pretty sure it is somewhere.... maybe, but i know this is definately in rubber and rollers section

HAHA, i just read your signature, i remember that thread...

Mikeyyy

So my best bet is to find some other wheels then. The person selling me these rims are dirt cheap so should I just let it go?

factory z offset is like +33, these would prob be more fitting for a fwd car... not sure what he had them on. i wouldnt buy them unless you can flip them to someone else for a profit

Mikeyyy

Damn... Lol On his ad it says it's fits well for 350z and BRZ. Other than that, yea ima probably let it go.

your wheels will appear to be inside the engine bay and hatch with offsets that high

Mikeyyy

LOL!! Thanks for the input guys. Really helped a noob out

Mikeyyy

ACTUALLY one more question.. If I run 20mm spacer would that make it somewhat not sunken inside my fenders? lol

This is what i used to make decision on my wheels:

Lots of pictures. Spend some time and this should answer your questions. Atleast they answered mine.

Personally I suggest you pick some other wheels.

Keep us posted when you make a decision.

+40/+45 woah! Going the wrong direction with those wheels; spacer city!

You could but it would still look sunk. I suggest getting some wheels in the mid to high teens or low 20's offset wise. Then if you want to push them out more you would only have to use a small spacer later on.

x2 this is the best advice for you.

now your trying to reason with yourself to buy them, walk away and get something where you dont need spacers....

Mikeyyy

@deftoneZ
Thanks for the input. He's telling me the wheels wouldn't look sunken in at all lol. Also the offset are "really good" for the Z.

@travelee9374
Well I always wanted the rpf1's lol but he's actually suggesting I should run 25mm spacers and it would look flushed out.

Other than that, probably won't pick them up since nearly everyone is saying walk away lol. I thought I was going to get flamed for this topic, but you guys are the best!!!

You should have gotten flamed.

But look for something in the +15 +20 offset range.

fronts 9j

avoid spacers at all times. Unless no other option is really available. I have used them but am also weary about them.

Stop looking for wheels at tirerack.

If your not buying wheels for performance reasons I would just go with some 19's. Try to find something like 19x9.5 +15 and 19x10.5 +15 and you'll be pretty flush.

Here's to give you an idea. I'm running 19x9.5 +15 and 19x11 +20
I do have stretched tires so keep that in mind.
