Just wondered how an 18x10.5 et30 and 8.5 et30 would sit on the zed? Rear arches will be rolled

front is a bit weak compared to the rear, 9.5 would be better, depends what width tires you plan on using.

 

rear will need a roll, push, and a flare with a decent tire on there

I'm sure my rear is that. It sticks out of the arch abit. So they will need to be flared or fit 265 tyres on but the rim becomes exposed and the tyre looks stretched

At 10.5" wide, the offset starts to become pretty critical and very narrow in tolerance. You need a fairly high offset without an arch pull (lip rolling is a must), at ET30 you're not far off I don't think but I'm yet to measure a definitive/ultimate offset for 10.5" rears. One thing I can say is that it won't be a plain sailing, slap straight on job as it will very much depend on the tyre and camber as to clearance. You won't be able to utilise the full width to put some really chunky tyres on it, you'll need to stretch them, 275 max I would say. Then you would be able to get the final fitment through camber adjustment, most of which will come from lowering.

 

Fronts will fit no issues, in fact I'd space them out to fill the arch like the rears will.

Cheers guys just getting an idea on a few different sets of alloys I like

 

Defiantly gonna have arches rolled and flared

Ok so another one seen some rims I like there 17x9.5 et30 front and 17x9.5 et15 rears, now I've done it on the offset calculator and it says 5mm more clearance on the inside and 55mm outside, now I've been looking and this size and et for all most other similar jap cars all 200sx skyline rx7 ect with just a small arch roll so surely they should fit the zed nicely with a roll and flare?

 

I know a s14 is 16x6.5 et 40 so I'd of thought not a great deal a difference to how they'd sit on an s14

10.5 et 35 is a big roll, pull, flare per the above

 

9.5 et 15 will be 7mm further out again ...

Do you think it would be to much then James? How come all the 200 guys seem to pull of offsets like these?

I have no experience of the 200, however i'd say they are generally willing to put skinny tires on and crazy camber to make something fit.

 

you can make nearly anything fit, it's up to you how much you want to pull the bodywork, what size tire to run and what camber you intend to run

the other question is why do you want to fit them so much.

 

1. is there a design you really like and not available in other offsets
   
2. are they just cheap - keep looking and find a set that fits
   
3. you want a 'stanced' look and want to push the boundaries
   

Seen a few styles I like but always in low offsets, guess I'll keep searching
