Guest grimlynsan Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hi i'm about to purchase some zg flares and want the widest tyres i can possibly squeeze under them. This obviously means i need wide rims too. I really have my heart set on some 17X7inch wheels but they will only accomodate a tyre of a certain width (I think the guy said 235). There is an 18X8 inch version that can take wider tyres (obviously) however i dont really want 18s. thats kind of crazy on a z isnt it? The car will be used for the street 99% of the time. My question is this: does anyone here run 18" wheels? If so how are they? is it a bone jarring ride? Does it look funny on a z? Thanks in advance.

Guest PROJECTRB240SX Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 The Only Way We Can Tell You If There Is A 18" Version Of The Wheel You Want Is If You Actually Post The Wheel You Want.... There Are A Few Members With 18" Wheels, Just Search Around And You Will Find Them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grimlynsan Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 The Only Way We Can Tell You If There Is A 18" Version Of The Wheel You Want Is If You Actually Post The Wheel You Want I didn't think the wheel I had in mind was relevant. just the fact that it is 18" I always thought 17" wheels on a z was pushing it. The idea of 18" wheels seems kinda crazy to me thats all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PROJECTRB240SX Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Ohh, I Must Have Misread What You Typed... Anyway, Yes 18's Fit. There Is Even A Member With 19's, Your Just Not Going To Have Much Of A Ride. Offset And Width Is Pretty Critical Though So You Have To Measure Twice And Purchase Once. Just From Research With A 8" Wide Wheel In Stock Arches You Need ~+8mm To +12mm Offset Depending On Coilovers, Fender Rolling, Etc. With Zg Flairs You Have .5"-1" More Well To Fill So Your Offset Would Be A ~-13mm To -17mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drftn280zxt Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I believe JamieT is running eighteens with ZG's. Drop him a line, I'm sure he would happy to tell what they are like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73hls30 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 i believe that john at ccw was able to easily wedge 275's under your set up. 275-45-17 clear my front flares, which is what i believe your off-set is all the way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
