So as the title says I'm looking for some new wheels that don't cost an arm and a leg.

I would like to use 255 front 275 rear. The wheels I have found are at discount tire. Mb wheels battle style. They have 18 × 9 and 18 × 9.5 is that going to work for both tire sizes?
Also they have offsets at 18x9 are 30 and 38 offset and the 18x9.5 are 15 , 23 offset. Wondering what would be the best for a driving.

rearranged

Find some different wheels or ditch the 18x9f and just go 18x9.5 square with 15 offset. 30 is stock offset for front wheels and 38 is even more sunken in looking. You could run a square wheel setup with staggered wheels though and still go 255&275. Check out the enkei wheel thread and check out dboyzalter's setup. He's running 18x9.5 with 15 offset for reference.

So many conceivable combinations.

There's this guy about to sell a set of GramLights 57DR COPIES mounted up with sticky Yokohama AD08 in Nismo double stagger 245/40-18 & 265/35-19 on 18x9.5 +34/19x10.5 +22 for about the cost of the tires alone.

Except the lazy a$$ hasn't posted 'em up yet. I'll convince him to get an ad up shortly.

But on the ones you're considering, I've seen members posting positive things about the MB Battles despite their being copies of something.

You *could* go 9/9.5 F/R but might as well go 9.5 (either +15 or +23) square as rearranged said and keep the stagger in the tires. I personally don't like the feel of +15 versus mid-20s but they're fine and will sit a little closer to flush if that's what you're going for.

I want what's best for the car and driving. Flush comes 3rd in my book. I'm going to have my business pay for the wheels and tires so I need a place that's takes a card and can show recipes. Tires I'm either going with cooper rs3-s or nitto invo for the front and nt555 g2 for the rear. They don't make a nt555 for the 255 size.

Get the wheels. Drive the car. Done.

Depending on how much money u would like to spend I can only recommend the Gram Lights 57DR (authentic). They are available in 9,5 +22 which is just about right for the Z....you could use them on all 4 corners and call it a day. IMO

I would love same nice wheels I just don't have the money right now. I'm at about 20k on the paint, performance, and leather, stereo even with the vendors giving me deals and doing all the work in house.

So I found these konig lightning 18 X9.5 5-114.30 25 BKGLML They only have them in 9.5 at 25 offset. Would these work for the front?
