My ADD kicked in lol. An excellent point, the car rotates far better with the square setup! With the stagger it was understeer city for me!

My 18’s are going back on just for winter use;
As mine doesn’t sit unless weather is poor...drive 3-400 mlles per week.
19’s going back on in the spring w/fresh PSS’s on it.

I have always said 18s for track are best for all the reasons you mentioned. Superior tire choices at better prices

i just think they look terrible, which is why i'd recommend 2 sets
20's for street
18's for track

Lol, I have three sets...two in 18s and one in 19.

Must be nice!

I just want to change the front wheels setup of my Z :( I have the 18x9.5+22 Enkei RS05RR and I want them in 18x10+22 :( But definitively I preferred the 18" for track :tup: If I buy another set of wheels in the future are going to be in 19" but are going to be more for the look department lol!:p

Yeah, I am wheel and tire poor. I got a deal on the Volks I could not pass up so I am thinking about letting the Enkies go.

Ride quality,handling,road noise,etc... Excellent; couldn’t have made a better decision on tire.
As these were installed for cold weather use.
I’m not gonna “Roast” the tread from these & hopefully get a few winters of driving out of them....they sure are narrow vs. 285/35,345/30/19’s,,,but are put on for serving a purpose & are doing well.

Anyone know the specs and tire size?

Enkei NT01RR
18x10.5 front
18x11 rear

295/40/18 (i believe all around)

I couldn't find the exact offsets, but i am confident they are whatever the lowest Enkei offers for those wheels

I bet his camber is close to -3 and -2

The lowest offset for the 18x11 is +16 and for the front you can go with the 18x10+22... You have to make sure you are buying the R face if you want that look.. Dont make my same mistake ordering the 18x9.5+22 for the front... They look good but it is not what I want :( Im going to buy the 18x10+22 for the front later to have the look that I want:stirthepot:

Just received my CE28SL's in 18x10.5 +15 square :happydance:

Went with 275/40 RS4 tires all the way around. Should *hopefully* be here tomorrow. Pics as soon as they're on the car.

:worthless:

Always loved the SLs. I really like that the gunmetal paint covers the lip and the machining is on the very outside of the wheel.

Same. I don't think I've seen a Z on the internet with the CE SLs. Everyones got the TE's though. Decided to take a few more pics as well.

Yeah very rarely if at all do CE28s sell for the Z. Most we sell is TE37, so you are correct! But these will / should look amazing.

I love those damn wheels bro! :drool:

Absolutely love those wheels. Being a square setup though are you planning on running spacers in the rear?

He won't need to, +15 in the rear is a perfect fitment.

I was asking since the fronts are gonna poke more than rears. Or just run more camber up front? There is a set of wheels i havent bought because they are 18x10.5 +15 square and i dont wanna run spacers in rear

If you are running the Z more for track you will want to run more camber anyway. If you don't want poke you will need to go +22 or so up front. I know people have fears of running spacers but it doesn't hold up in practice that they fail anymore than without them. Sevarl high level race teams run wheels with spacers. I run a set that is 10.5x 18 +30 square and run 15 mm spacers in the rear. You still be "square" if you run a + 22 wheel up front you just will not be able to rotate tires without removing them from the wheel.

If I wanted the rears to fit exactly like the fronts, sure I could use a 5mm spacer or so. But even without it I think it looks great. Especially being a track set up, I'm super happy with how it sits. I'll drop some photos in here tonight.

Agreed, you don't need them, I'm +18 with my te's and they poke slightly in the rear and more in the front, but I love the setup!:stirthepot:

I understand, i didn't mean anything negative by it just asking since i wasn't sure. Im sure they look awesome on there. Currently running spacers in rear and car held up fine at the track past weekend nothing wrong with that. If i did go aftermarket wheels id want to ditch them out of pure preference.

Lol, sorry about the tone! There is just a lot misinformation out there and I was trying to make the point that if you can't get the fitment you want with your wheel of choice, there is no reason to settle if spacers will get you there. Now I agree if you are trying to bridge to big of a gap....that's not good!

Needs more Wheel Gap :ughdance:

Hey Guys!

Loving all of these 18's setups

Im finally in the market to buy a set of wheels but had a question regarding wheel/tire size.

After hours of reading through all the forums and trying to understand wheel specs, I think I finally found a setup that i'd like.

Im thinking about getting the Enkei GTC01RR or RS05RR in these specs

F: 18x9.5 +22
R: 18x10.5 +15

As for the tires, Im looking at two different options and would like some input as to which tire size would work best. I plan on dropping the car on HKS Coils (already ordered) The tire specs I have in mind are

275/40/18
305/35/18
OR
285/35/18
295/35/18

Any help/insight would be highly appreciated!

Either setup will work, I'd opt for the 275/305. 285 is bigger than I'd personally go on a 9.5" but I know people do it.

I would keep the tire width closer to square. I'm not a fan of the extremely staggered setup, but that's just my preference in driving feel.

:iagree:
And now for some maths...
IIRC, stock diameter is F26.9 R26.7

Where desired tire size = (Diameter) x (tread width) R ) (rim size)
For 26" range diameter:
275/40R18 = 26.7x10.8R18
295/35R18 = 26.1x11.6R18
305/35R18 = 26.4x12R18

For 27"range diameter:
275/45R18 = 27.7x10.8R18
285/40R18 = 27x11.2R18
295/40R18 = 27.3x11.6R18
305/40R18 = 27.6X12R18

no matter how you look at it, those 10.5 rims are gonna be more bubbalicious than J-Lo with 305 on them. Good for straight I would think, but would also think gonna have a sloppy handling feel in corners and potential of roll n pop bead

If you are going to lower it too, you could end up with clearance issues as well on your diameter size once lowered

P.S. this site is great! https://tiresize.com/calculator/

I tracked this entire year on a super lowered car (have raised it since just for performance reasons) with a 305/30/19 on a 10.5. Never really had an issue with feel or the bead (looked sweet too). Might just be preference though

I'm running 18x11 square with 315 at the track with no issues. My buddy that runs c6 corvette runs 335 rear and 325 Hoosiers on 18" wheels. He got me thinking, lol.

I'm sure preference is a part of it. Another (BIG) part is 18 vs 19 rims when it comes to those sizes and performance :tiphat:

Now THAT's good info! and rather impressive! that said, longer wheelbase of a C6 I can see how he can get away with it. That of course if my physics brain module is still working right with the silver rum and sweet tea I'm enjoying lol

This what a set of NT01s in 315 look like!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...07a261ce52.jpg
