the best i can find so far is 300 per wheel for 18x9.5 +12 front and rear which is the size i want to run on my z. is this as good as it gets? also will these fit my z flush without going passed the fenders. i'm on a +35 now and on a 9.5 and its damn near my fender already i'm afraid if i go out 23mm i may have to pull.

Here's a 17x10+15 with 255/40's on. I figure yours will stick out 3mm more than this. And it looks like this guy has lots of camber dialed in..



As far as that price, I'm not sure but I'd wait a little while until the vendors here and on Zilvia start going crazy with all their summer specials. Probably around July 4th, I bet all kinds of stuff will be on sale...

well mine are going to be on a 9.5 not 10 in the rear so wouldnt that mean i'll still be less than even? plus i've come to realize that all wheels are built differently a +15 on a work wheel wont fit the same as a +15 on a 5zigen or a sportmax or any other wheel that matter, its starting to seem like offsets are manufacturer specific.

I partly agree, but with the 9.5 vs the 10, the extra .5 would be on the backside of the wheel. The amount of protrusion from the fender should be about the same.

I think you should go ahead and get the wheels. There are s14's with the same setup and it looks great! But the major issue will be what kind of tire fitment you want to have... Are you trying to go for max rubber or stretched/tire tucking?

With those offsets, stretching some 225's or 245's on those will be a good look and possibly avoid pulling. But if you go for max tire fitment, yeah, it's gonna bulge and look bulky.

If you want max rubber fitment, I'd pick wheels with higher offsets...

i'm looking for a stretch/tuck set up so i'm thinkin about running 235/40/18's back and maybe a 35 series in front if i have to clear fenders how does that sound?

Sounds sexy as hell.

I was wondering why you don't get the 10 inch wide wheels, but after searching, I see they don't offer the 10 inch width in 18's, I guess... That sucks.

yeah man thats sooooooo ghey! i was like why would they offer a 10 in 17 but not in 18? i considered going down a size but then i saw a z on 17's and its not too apealing. even slamed they'll never tuck right.... and to me fitment and offset is everything. i just dont have the money for baller a** works so i have to settle. the zigens look clean though, they just arent the emotion xd9's i wanted

Man, don't worry. The concavity of these wheels will look sick on a Z32 with that tire setup. I bet they'll be lighter than most comparably sized Work wheels anyways...
