Spring is here, the snow is gone, and the Z is out of storage! That's means it was time to try the new shoes on. After months of searching for the right wheel/tire package, I couldn't be happier with these bad boys. The offsets are perfect for my taste. Compared to my stock 18", they sit out 22 mm further on the front, and 11 mm further on the rear. It has a more aggressive stance, without any protrusion past the fenders. The 285s looks great, especially from a rear view. They are only slightly heavier than the 18" wheel/tires, and the grip improved noticeably. I'm ready for a fun summer driving season!
Stats:
Stock 18" Touring
Front: 225/50R18x8, 43 mm offset, 48.0 lbs. wheel/tire
Rear: 245/45/R18x9, 15 mm offset, 52.5 lbs.

I'll try to get some better pictures on a nice sunny day, but here are a few crappy garage shots...
