1) Are these OK offsets for the Z?

2) Are they too wide for the 225 and 245 factory 18" tires?

3) Could these possibly clear the Sport Brakes?


I've done some search regarding fitting 18" with Sport brakes, basically there is no clear answer. Just wondering if anyone could give me any pointers. Thanks!
1. no, those are terrible offsets. the front is ok, nearly stock (which is about 25 mm too much offset to start with, but the rears are 19x10 +30, so a 18x9.5 +45 would be close to an inch further set in, ekkkk

2. those should not be a problem for rim width, although the tires will look stretched.

3. probably not, not many 18" wheels have been fitted that i know of.
