Wheel Experts Step Inside

I have a 05' coupe with factory 18" wheels and stock suspension. I am getting ready to buy a set of Eneki PK6, 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the rear The front offset is 24mm and the rear is 25mm. I will be using 245/40 in the front and 275/40 in the rear. I have seen this exact setup on a 350Z and it looked perfect.

Will this setup fit, with no rubbing? and will the tires be fairly flush with the fenders?

I have done two weeks of research on this and other sites. I have never owned a car with so many formulas of offsets.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like a perfect fit to me. Offsets are good and tire sizes are correct. I don't think the wheels/tires will be exactly flush with the fender, but it will look much more aggressive than stock. Its a nice looking, lightweight wheel. Go for it!

Thanks!

It is really difficult to find the proper setup for these cars.

25mm is more than enough to get it close to the fender. A lot of the cars
I see here using 19-22mm offsets might be flush to the fender at the top but
the tires stick out the back due to the toe-in. Whether you call that a good
fit or not is really up to your preference.
