Ugh, I want these wheels too. I just can't see them looking very good with the offsets available. The 527's have a MUCH better offset and size for our cars in the 9.75" wheel.

What's wrong with those offsets ace? They will be pretty much flush with perhaps a little bit of poke in the rear.

I wanna get them so bad but I need some one to tell me based on their experience if the will fit! I know there are alot of people on here who have 10.5 - 20 offset I'n the rear. Did it fit for you or did you have to do anything like rolling your fenders to make it fit? The 527s are nice but I'm looking for a set of rims with a nice big lip these xxr 526 have a 4.25inch lip I'n the rear. And I can't find any other set of rims with a lip bigger than 2.75 I'n the rear. ?

The rears will require work to fit. My 18x10" +40mm required a roll with a 285/30 and a 1.5" or so drop. Factory camber specs, no ricer tucking here.

If you ran a 255 out back with a fender lip roll, you should be able to fit at stock height, which is actually dropped about .75" from OEM due to saggy 20 year old springs.

OP, no one has a 18x10.5" -20mm offset on a Z32, that'd be like a foot of lip, lol. +20mm might be possible though.

Oh yeah, no doubt they will need some work but they will fit. That's alls I was wondering lol!

Personally if I were running a 10.5" wheel I'd also be looking to fit something much wider than a 255, perhaps 285/295 range.

Sorry! My bad I didn't mean -20 offset it was just supposed to be a dash, but thanks for your info I don't know if it's worth rolling my fenders

No worries, I figured you meant +20, just clarifying.

Fender rolling isn't a big deal. I tried doing my own with the Eastwood hand crimper, and I feel like a f*** idiot. It's a finisher, not a total crimper, and I mangled my fenders. That's what I get for being cheap :/ Brought the car to a shop and had them do both rears for $150 I think. Perfect roll.

10.5" wide you should be looking at 275 minimum, IMHO. 295 would be optimal, but if you're going for the deep dish look, I get it and that's your prerogative. Below is a side shot of a 10" wide 18" wheel +40mm with a 285/30.

No rubbing whatsoever, and it sits flush, IMHO.

I think I'm just gonna buy them and see what happens, ^thanks for your help man. It does sit pretty nice. I'm excited!

There is no way your going to fit a 285+ on a 10.5 +20 without a roll minimum. If your lowered your going to need to probably shave the bumper bracket as well as possibly pull the fender along with camber.

Sorry to bring this back to life guys but I for the life of me can't figure out if the wheels I want will work. I'd like to put some meat on the rears (and as much as possible on the front) since I'm running HKS2530s and want to be able to let the ponies stretch their legs. The wheels I want are made in the following sizes:

18x9.0 +32
18x9.5 +40
18x10.5 +27

Also, I will be having bodywork done to the car so rolling, pulling and stretching is not an issue I just don't want to run out of spec camber or rub anywhere. I am also not opposed to running spacers but would prefer not to. Function over form always. Thanks in advance guys.
