I'm looking at 18" SSR GTV02s and I've settled on 9.5" for the front and 10.5" in for the rear. I made notes while reading through this thread, as well as others, and I think I should go with a 35mm offset in the front (22mm is also an option) and a 15mm offset in the rear. I am on Swift springs, with SPL rear camber arms and lock out bolts. I would like to be near flush. No poke at all. Will these offsets get me what I'm looking for?

Also, regarding tires, I'm considering 245/45 in the front and 275/40 in the rear, as these sizes would keep the overall diameter close to stock, as well as the sidewall height. I'd like to go wider, especially in the rear, but then it just starts throwing things out of whack. Thoughts?

All that noted, I really appreciate anyone sharing their advice and feedback. I'd like to go ahead and make my purchase soon.

My 18" wheel set up is:
Enkei RPF1
Front: 18x10 +38(15mm spacer making it +23) wrapped in a (275/40/18)
Rear: 18x10.5 +15 wrapped in a (315/35/18)

My front looks perfect, it's better than my rear because the rims face is more flush with the fender. SO, you can run as low as a 15mm spacer but you will forsure need a smaller tire than what I use because my 315 is flush. 285/40/18 out back is what I would go with and up front a 22 ofsset 255/45. Than just use spacers and camber to touch up the gaps.

Hey guys. I know there's not as many people out there running 18s on the 370. I figured I'd toss a pic up (sorry, just a Note 5 camera phone pic) of my Z running 18s. Mainly to help with those newer, using the search options and trying to gather information. I know a large amount of people on this forum don't like set ups like mine. That's perfectly fine, but there are those who do and the information is lacking for them.

Fronts are 18x10.5 with a big negative offset. Rears are 18x12 with a small negative offset. Fronts took camber, tire stretch, fenders rolled, and liners out to make functional. I still will be lowering the rear slightly and taking a bit of camber out but you get the idea for now.

( Click to show/hide )

My wheels are 18x9.5+12 front and 18x10.5+22 rear with a 20mm spacers on the rear soo the offset of the rear wheels now is +2

I have to install the spacers on the rear cause the any shop have the 18x10.5+15 rear wheels on stock

but im happy with the results anyway

Tires are 255/40/18 front & 285/35/18 rear

I hope that help

Same here! i dropped to 18" wheels!

Thanks so much for the specs and the pic of your Z. Really like your set up, Carlos, so I'm going to have to rethink the original offsets that I listed. You've got a beautiful Z, bro! Appreciate you taking the time to post and help me out!

Appreciate the information and specs on your Z, Anthony. My head is still swirling trying to make the right decision, but all of this information really helps. Thanks for your post.
