Yes, i have read the wheel fitment thread multiple times...
i put up a similar thread and no one really gave me a helping hand.
can i fit an x11 in the rear with a 20 or higher offset, WITHOUT pulling my fenders..

sizes are only 18x9 x10 and by x11 no in between or i would run 10.5
my rear are going to have meaty tires.. looking at advans A050 or toyo r888 something along those lines so you get my drift... get it.. drift :) haha but they will be a race or race street tire with serious meat on it.. now i have ben doing non stop research for months on this. ive looked at rimtuck.com multiple times and most of them run 10.5 and even 10 in the front. please dont flame me, dont tell me to search nico.club.com these wheels are just comming out; as i am speaking to OTR via email, i cant find any car running these, specaily a z32, il prolly be the first. so going off another cars specs isnt an option. car will be lower after the fact, good stance, i want a little poke but a mega concave. which is why i would rather go front x10 and rear x11. Idk what offset to do either.. any advice would be soooooooooooooo helpful.. so helpful. i am a novice at the wheel game. be easy on me. Thanks guys.

If your not wanting to pull fenders then the 10+20 is your best bet which will still require a roll, camber and a stretched tire. You could fit that size on the front as well but without pulling the fenders your going to have to run a real small tire with stupid stretch if you want to go low.

Will the 18x9 in the front and 18x10 in the rear fit with out fender rolling?

Or should I go 18x9 all the way?

Are you thinking of the same wheels as the op or a completely different set? Cause it all depends on the offset, if your looking at the same wheels than it really is dependant on your ride height and if your willing to run stretched tire, camber etc.

Your offset is 25mm in from anything being asked about here thus making it not really relevant, and with a 315 i am guessing your not lowered much if at all.

Yes the C003 I think. I don't like camber, and I will lower my Z as much a inch.

I don't think that you will be seing my car a lot. At least no if you don't pass by Costa Rica all your mornings, and I loved those rims, and if I want I'm free to ask, but I am not going to get one of those, just getting info on what size of rims...

And at stock ride height probably, and not realizing how badly you're really rubbing yet. Lol

No rubbing. Ebiach springs and kyb agx shocks and struts lowered about an inch.
Looking to go maybe +55 when I get my powertrix coil overs.

So, this is a thing where we won't share our wheel info with each other? I've PMed a couple of people about the wheels in pictures they've posted and gotten no response. If that's the case I think that's incredibly lame. If these cars were all over the road, you'd see people with a similar setup anyways. Our cars are rare enough and we're spread out enough that I doubt anyone would run into the same setup. The whole thing, again, seems really lame for what I thought was supposed to be a "community"...

I share my setup with anyone that ever asks i could really care less if someone else wants to buy work meisters as they are great wheels. The OP's over reaction and removing his link was kind of a douche move, would have been like us saying dont get sz exhaust components or the Z1 pg exhaust cause someone else is already getting it... :rolleyes:

Not sure where this comes from as I have had no issues PMing people for info and getting quality responses, and I always share what I know here and via PM's I've received regarding my car and just had a conversation the last few days with a new member about my wheels that moved to other subjects as well. Not only that but as Chris points out there is plenty of help given in this thread, and most other threads on the site... :gotme
