I know I looked.... But Wheel offsets.......

I am looking at some wheels that are 18" Diameter

 

8.5" wide with an offset of 30 on the front

 

9.5" wide with an offset of 40 on the rear

 

Question is....... are they gonna fit??????

What is the max and minimum for offset on a Z ???

Rears will fit lovely.

Fronts will fit ok, *might* get some arch liner rubbing when turning depending on tyre choice.

Certainly will look nice with that stance.

Wheels arrived and need some attention........ looked good in the pictures, but up close they need a refurb......

3 out of 4 have polished lips with No curbing and look like a lot of elbow grease would sort them out..... 1 of them has small amount of curb damage, but enough to warrant some TLC.....

All 4 of the centres are in need of complete refurbishing as the silver paint used has ground in brake dust.....

Going to start by deep cleaning the wheels and see exactly what I need to do......

 

Got a spare hour now, so off to workshop to have a go with the polish and some G3...............

Well all 4 wheels cleaned best I can do without a full refurbishment, which they will get this winter when car off the road.......

 

Now all I need is tyres........

I have a set of 4 x 235/40/18....... but decided they are too narrow for the rear 9.5J's........ was looking at 255/40/18......

I spoke to one wheel guy who mentioned the stretched look having a great stance....... but worries me putting load like that on a sidewall.....

Any suggestions on reasonable priced tyres, makes, models, etc...... I have been looking at some BRIDGESTONE POTENZA 255/40 R18 95Y
