Hi I am actually thinking to run 285/35/18 square but having headache to get right size rims. What is your rim spec(Front and Rear) and do you use any spacer in the back to make it not "sunk"?

I am looking at Advan TCiii18x10.5 offset 25 now but get info the front may rub (Suspension still stock yet so not much camber i can adjust). It would be great if you can share your experience. Thank you for the help!

Thanks a lot for the info guys! One more question... If I go with 285/35/18 on front, with my 18x9.5+22 wheels, they are going to rub with the fender liners? I dont have camber plates on front... I know that the rear setup works great... If someone have pics of the 285/35 on the front are going to be great!

Thanks!

Not the exact setup you're looking at but here's my Z with 295/40-18's on 18x10 +30 up front. I had a tiny bit of rub but your 285's will be ~1.5" shorter than my 295's were so you should be fine.

Also our cars don't use camber plates. If you want to adjust front camber you'll need aftermarket front upper control arms.

Thanks for the info you provide me bro and for the pic

Maybe this is a stupid question but, With my OEM upper control arms I can install the 285/35 tires right? Eventually Im going to finish my suspension setup lol! But for now Im going to leave it like that... when I install the new wheels & tire setup (285/35/18 square setup) Im going to take the Z to the Alignment shop... My car is not a daily any more, so I can give her a full track alignment If you guys have any recommendations for the alignment are going to be great!

Thanks!
