Default 18" wheels to fit StopTech BBK

if been looking for some 18" wheels for my car for the winter time (to basicly have them on the car all winter long while it sits in the garage). these have to clear the StopTech 6 pot 4pot BBK. i'm looking for something sporty like the Enkei RPF1. they should have 8.5 up front and 9 or 9.5 in the rear. or does anyone know the offsets for these Enkei rims? oh btw i really don't want to run spacers to make them fit!!

do a 9.5 +15 on all corners and you should be okay.

+15 isnt that aggressive. I run +12 and I have no issues at all.

just checked the offset specs available for those RPF1...it really seems like there is only the 9.5 +15 suitable for the Z......i'm more afraif about the caliper clearance since those 6 pot StopTech calipers really need a lot of clearance!!

What StopTech BBK are you referring to OP?

As you know it all depends on the wheel style, disc size (if applicable), and offset

If you are trying to run the RPF1's that is one of the easiest wheels to fit the StopTech's with and depending on what BBK you have I can give you a recommendation

ST60 on the front actually clears wheels easier than the ST40

Enkei RPF1 front 9.5 + 15 and rear 10.5 +15 would be perfect. Run 275 and 295 tires which is bad in the snow though.

Cux350Z it's not for the snow :P it's basicly for storage of the car! don't want to let the car sit on the expensive tires and wheels.....but still want to use the RPF1 in the spring time and then switch over to my GT-S. but if the 10.5 +15 clear the ST40 these would be good too (i guess)

on the rear yes. That is what I have been told. I am in your same shoes in wanting a different wheel setup and I love the RPF1's. My rear GT-S barely clears.

Ok then tire widths be damned! run wide and be happy.
