Maybe I'd be better going x10.5 +15. Anyone know if these clear the Akebonos?
If you're going square, they will clear the Akebono's but you are gonna have to run some extreme camber or roll your front fenders to make them fit. We had a guy that ran that square set up in texas and he rolled the front a LOT just to make it fit. You're better off running the spacers on the rear and being done with it.

So what you're saying is with the 18x10 I wouldnt need to roll the fenders (depending on tire). And to just run spacers in the rear. Makes sense. I've rolled fenders before but dont want to do it on my Z.
