Default Bought SSR wheels need advice

Well, this is my first post lol. I need some help. I bought some wheels 18x10 -3 and 18x11 -16. Was wondering what tire size would look good on those widths and will I need to run camber ? Going for a stretched style but nothing crazy . I was thinking 225/40 and 255/35 but I don't know if that will be a balanced look. Thanks in advance

Can only surmise yer goin' for stance/poke versus actual performance with those sizes and offsets.

And yes, you'll need to camber down or stretch. And keep an eye on those wheel bearings.

How did you decide on those offsets? Your Z is going to look like an F1 car with the wheels sticking out that far.

Somewhere in that neighborhood I'd guess.

But here, do the math... https://my350z.com/forum/tire_rim_calculator.php

Never mind, for kicks just ran the #s...

Front will stick out 58.4mm from OEM, Rear, 80.75mm. Now go get a steel rule and visualize for yourself.

Do I measure from the most outer part of the rim. If so that's what I'll be looking at (3.18 inches, just before the quarter mark)

Yep. Wheels with those types of size/offsets are typically for widebody/feder flare applications.

You'll need a pulled fender and some decent camber to make it look anywhere near normal. Thinking around 5 degrees with the 255 and a serious pull. The fronts will need a baby pull as well. Your tire sizes seem fine, but I would stick with either a 40 or 35 series tire for both
