]] I just picked up a set of these for a good price, and will be getting them powder-coated this week. I have two questions for you guys:
-What color should i get that would complement my car the best?
-What is the optimal tire size? My car is NA-T running 332hp to the wheels.
I will be getting BFGoodrich G-Force Comp2 tires.
Wheels are 18x8 in front with 30 offset and 18x8.5 rear with 33 offest.
I will be running 10mm spacers all around, so effectively the offset will be 20F and 23R
Fenders rolled flat all around.
Yes, they stole my wheels last week.

Still really sucks about your rims, any leads or info from the insurance comp?

Honestly having the same color green on my car, I've tested a few options and I've liked a polished/gunmetal combo like you had before or all chrome. Since you dont have the gold package chrome really accents the emblems and window trim well, IMHO..

No luck getting my wheels back, so just waiting for insurance to settle now

Ok, so things actually worked out for the best, since Discount tire just called me that they cant get me the 235/40's so I ended up switching the order to 255/40's.
So I will be running 245/40/18's on the front and 255/40/18's on the rear.
Wheels are 18x8(f) and 18x8.5(r)

I have one more question for everyone running 350Z and G35 wheels. Are you guys using the 60.1 to 66.1 hub centric rings, and are you using any different lug nuts? Please let me know, as I want to make sure I do this right.

Looking to get 18x9.5 +35 all around. About 1" drop.
I want as much rim protection as possible. Could I get away with 245/40 fronts and 275/35 rears? Nankang NS-20s which run narrow.

I'm looking to try something similar. I'm looking at same specs wheels but wondering if 275/35 will fit all the way around? How's front clearance? I'm stock height right now and will be adding some camber but not sure how much. This is for ****s and giggles cause I want to try the SC300 at Autocross during the Test and Tune. My Juke is already dialed in pretty well. lol.

I'm in the process of picking out parts for my SC3 build, and I need to find a good wheel/tire setup that suits my needs.
I'm going NA-T with an s362 or s366 turbo and shooting for 500-600whp. I know its unreasonable to ask for complete traction with that kind of power, but want something that can a least put down a good amount to the ground.
I am thinking I will need a 10" or 11" wide rim in the rear to run at least a 275 tire. Looking at some silver Motegi MR120s wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza s-04 pole position at the moment.
I dont personally like the look of deep dish rims, so can anyone steer me in the right direction of a staggered setup that can fit wide tires out back and sit relatively flush without a huge lip? I'm a total newb when it comes to suspension and wheels/tires, so I could use the help picking the right offset for a wide rim. I have 1800 budgeted for a wheel/tire setup. Thanks in advance
