TO buy or not to buy these wheels!!!

so i have a line on a set f works 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 wheels with a 30 offset intended for a Z. the offset is off but my car only has a minute drop from the H-tech coils. will these stick out that bad and should i bother at 1400$ with tires?

Its a shame cuz i can get the wheels and a set of potenza 235 and 265's for less than 1400$ and these wheels are pure sex...friggin sedan offset!!! saw your post tho and had a good laugh. reason i am still up in the air on these is that the guy with the +20's said they only rubbed on the inside with the camber kit and im only lowered on h-techs. if i roll the fenders these may fit nicely and give it that super aggressive AudiS or BMW-M look

you would have to roll the fenders and dial in quite a bit of negative camber. Don't do it.

it doesnt matter how much negative camber you have and even if you flatten your fenders they'll still rub. The only way they'd fit is if you pulled your fenders. Save your money and time and get the right offsets.

I have 18x9 (38mm offset) on 275/40/18 in the rear with h-techs and -1.1 camber.

I wouldn't go with an offset that low. 38mm on 18x9 is the lowest I would go. It is cutting it really really close.

Some people can pull off 38mm on 9.5 depending on their setup.

please dont do it! I know someone locally that bought some sf challenges and when he got them in the mail, they were offsets for the coupe & 10.5" wide wheels in the rear. he put them on his car and I have only seen pictures, but its the nastiest **** I have seen. I don't even want to see it in person, but he would listen or take my advice.

The pice of the G reminds me of what "low riders" used to do to Sentra's in the early 90's.
