He is running 18x10.5 all the way around. I'm probably going to buy the same wheels but I'm thinking i'm going 9.5 +15 in the front. I'm going to order them from OAKOS Automotive - STi & WRX Performance Parts . They are a vendor on My350z but not sure about here. I've ordered from them before, great company.

oh ok, gotcha'. The prices on the OAKOS site look pretty good, maybe I'll give them a shot too. Just gotta do some more research on spacers, I'm complete noob on that stuff that the moment.

Well if you run a pretty aggressive offset like +15, you probably won't need any spacers.

Yeah, I noticed the offset on the set from OAKOS are +15. I guess I should be ok with that for daily driving, right?

Its funny how a lot of people on here say 18's on our cars look to small. I think with the proper stance, and meaty tires, 18's look just as good IF NOT BETTER than 19s. Take CCastro's car for example

I wouldn't see why not. I ran +15 on my RPF1's for my 350z with no issues. If I order the PF01's, I'm going +15 all the way around.

Ccastro drooool. That is sexy as hell! I'm glad I started this thread lol.

My Works are 18x9.5 +12 are super aggressive on front without spacers. I was really surprised lol. I wish I would have gotten a picture of the fitment.

That's what I wanted to hear I would've reconsidered if there were any rubbing issues with that kind of offset, so I'm glad to know there won't be

Does your setup set flush up front? Do they stick out beyond the fenders at all?
