first off, this should be in the wheel and tire forum.

second, you should buy wheels, THEN fit them to the car. not buy overfenders and try to find the right wheels.

what you need to do is find the online "offset calculator" to figure out what would be flush.

i think youre supposed to base it on...a 7" wide wheel with a zero offset being flush to a stock fender.

so youd need a 7 inch wide with a -25 (about) to be "flush"

i figure you wouldnt want a 7" wide wheel, so then you have to add up the inches on the width, convert inches to mm, etc etc

learn your s*** and figure it out on your own brah.

get something along the lines of probably a 9.5j to a 11j offset is going to do a lot with it. get some work equip sp1 18x10.5 +10? or look at he wheel fitment thread i know you are on zilvia

lol. no offsense BUT

1) There's no such thing as Equip SP1's, lol. SSR made the SP1, Work made the S1, as well as the Equip series wheels.2) Surprising to some... I can fit 18x10.5+10's on stock fenders.

18x10.5+0 sounds a bit more overfenderish. paired with maybe some 255/40's or something along those lines

i like works but my favorite set of work equips ever...my brother has on his z and i dont really want to cars in the same driveway with the same wheels so im pissed about that

but from what i have seen so far 18x9.5 and 18x11or up looks best in the back ...i just hate how expensive its going to be just to get flush wheels for my car ..i didnt really take that into consideration b4 i started to build it

and thats why you got completely reamed on Zilvia for disregarding the mountains of information found on the multiple S-chassis forums on the internet.

your backwards logic reeks of failure.
