ok whats the best wheel ofset for a 18inch 8.5 j wheel on the front I can pick from 30 and 35 the car will be getted lowered to ?

Ideally you'd want a +20 on an 8.5" wheel to give it a flush fitment. So out of the two, you'll need to go for a +30. Having said that, if you went for a +35, you could get 15mm bolt-on hubcentric spacers to give it the flush look and pull it out to +20 effective. If you went for the +30 wheel, you'd need slide-on 10mm hubcentrics and longer wheel bolts. 10mm is too thin for bolt-on hubcentrics . Depends what you want to do with it really. Bolt-on hubcentrics are cheaper and easier to install as you don't have to buy 10x longer bolts and then have them fitted. Total outlay would be less with bolt-on versions despite initial outlay being a bit more.

but will be lowering the car to et20 mite be a little to close

My Z is lowered and I am running +20 on an 8.5" wheel at the front.....how low are you going?

 

 

am not to sure the spec of the springs I have as were 2nd hand. how low is your springs

I have Tein S-Tech on mine, they're about 25mm lower.

hmmmm as am not sure what mine are. ok with your set up with et20 if you went lower now do you think yours would rub? are your wheel 18 or 19

Dan your springs were 25mm drop mate:wink:

o thay are 25 mill rite ok then cool

hmmmm as am not sure what mine are. ok with your set up with et20 if you went lower now do you think yours would rub? are your wheel 18 or 19

 

Probably. My wheels are 19".

Probably. My wheels are 19".

 

whats your rear offset on them wheels

+30 on a 9.5"

ok I see . did look 19s but going 18 10j on rear with a 285 tyre with 35 ofset

That's a decent spec, you'll be pretty flush with that fitment!

yes the 10j is what I want now. can you get a 295 on 10j mite be pushing it to much that

ok I see . did look 19s but going 18 10j on rear with a 285 tyre with 35 ofset

 

Pretty sure that'll rub on stock arches...

yes am hoping to roll them

Only a mild lip roll I'd imagine. I rolled my lips at the very top slightly before mine went in for paint. Just be careful with lip rolling. Regardless of what anyone says, you will get micro-fractures in the paint which can let in moisture in. Painters don't use a 'plasticizer' on the paint that's going on to metalwork, so the paint has little elasticity. Heat can help, but there's only so much that paint can stretch. I only did mine because I was getting it painted.

 

You'll probably be ok, but just be careful.

car is getting a full respray so that not a prob. just cant make me mind up on the front mite go with the 30et then
