18x9.5+25 and 18x10.5+15, tires are 285/35/18 Hankook rs3 square. I just bought enkei nt03, 18x10.5+30 square setup, will run 15-20mm spacer in the rear.

18X8 5-114.3 20BCM
18X8 5-114.3 40BCM
18X9 5-114.3 35BCM

These are the sizes I have to work with, anyone have any suggestions? I don't track and would like to stay staggered, but I'm not sure that's possible. I have a Base and don't mind working with spacers, but I wont drop because of the atrocious roads around here...

I assume the "BCM" is offsets? If so and you wanna stay staggered, 18X8.5 +20 with a 10mm spacer. 18X9.5 +35 rear with a 35mm spacer. Not really good choices for the Z....

What if I went square with these 2
18X8 5-114.3 20BCM rear
18X8 5-114.3 40BCM front
would that be better?

That would put your rear at skinnier wheels then the OEM wheels. Also you would need a 20mm spacer on the front and 35mm on the rear and it would still be sunk on the rear.....Reason for going with these terrible wheel sizes and offsets? No other choice? OEM base wheels are 18X8 +43 front. 18x9 +15 rears. I think you need to do a little more research on wheel sizes and offsets for our vehicles. If you want square, 9.5" wide is what would be recommended. Staggered is usually 9.5" fronts, 10.5" rears.

Nailed it. They were a set of Konig deceptions. the local discounttire had some in stock and were trying to move them. Those were the only sizes they had and they look good. I have seen some on a Z before, a user here has them and they don't look that bad.

I just checked and 18X9 is actually the size. Not 18X9.5 but do 18X9 +35 all around if you are set on those wheels. 10mm spacer on the front. 35mm spacer on the rear. A 15mm spacer would be more flush but your rears wont be as flush so it'll look weird. Use the same tire size all around so you can rotate. I think it's the only good option. I would run a 275/40/18 all around but a 245/45/18 will keep your stock size if you don't want wider.

I wouldnt buy those, that is hella sunk status and Konig is a cheap brand. There are a lot of better options out there. I bought my Enkeis used with almost new Falken FK542's for that price. A brand new set of Enkeis 18x10's would come out to about $1100 if you went to Top Speed in Dallas.

Is there a set up that would look good with 18s at stock height while filling the wheel gap?
