They can work fine with good fitment and beefy tires. Easy to look goofy as hell though.

The base models come with 18's don't they?

Also a topic a few below this one that has dozens of pages of 18s.

It's gonna look like crap just like all 18's look like crap on the Z34, unless its a track car. The base Z comes with ugly 18's and that also looks like crap

Time more a new driveway

or

air suspension

funny story
i literally told my realtor that i would not buy any house that my cars couldn't get in smoothly

she looked at me like i was insane

All the pics I saw showed the car lowered. I'm looking for stock ride height with 18inch aftermarket or oem 18inch with spacers. I'm looking at 10.5 width plus 12 offset so I wanted to.see of the 4x4 look is exaggerated more by having the wheels flush. I swear this forum is useless. Can never get an answer and someone references another thread that doesn't have what the OP asked. Coooool

Wow! People make an effort to help and you say they are useless? While their well-intended answers may not have handed you what you wanted on a silver platter, they may help others in the future.

If you can never get an answer, maybe you are asking the questions wrong.
