Are those Enkei Rajins?

Yep. They are. 18x9.5 +35 all the way around. Went with a square set up 255/45. Thinking I may go back to staggered later with 275 in the rear

Yeah I probably would have gone with the +15 all the way around with a 20mm spacer in the rear. Would be similar to my setup. You still might be able to get away with a big spacer in the rear, the fronts look good.

I actually just ordered 30mm. Got 20mm spacers on now.

Just a matter of opinion, if it was your Z what would you do?

1 - Staggered Set with these tires with Tein

or

2 - 18x9.5 all around and these tires with Swifts

The tires might change (family friend owns a tire shop, going to try and get a deal or two) but the general idea won't. Staggered or square? Swift of Tein? Do I need spacers or no?

I live in the midwest, the roads are not the best to say the least. They need to clear the Sport Akebono calipers. Snagging and installing those in a few weeks.

I have been reading thread and thread all day, cannot make up my mind.

Any questions feel free to ask. I appreciate the time anybody takes to reply to this message.

Cheers,

Ill
