18's on my Z32

Ok so I found a set of wheels I like in the 18'' size they are 18x8.5 with +32 offset in the front and 18x9.5 with +35 offset in the rear. I have a 1990 2+2 and was wondering if these will work, I have found plenty of pages and what not telling me how to do the math to figure out what offset I need but I don't think I am doing it right. Does amyone know if the sizes I found above will work correctly for my Z?

When I bought my TT it already had stock rear wheels (16 x 8.5 w/ 35mm offset) all around + 1cm spacers all around. When I found the spacers, I took them off. This means those front wheels you found will fit for sure since the offset is somewhere in between what I had with and without spacers.

For the back ones, since they have the same offset as stock and are 1" wider overall, will stick out .5" on either side of your stock rear wheels. I'm quite sure this will fit without a problem, but now you have some kind of measurement at least to go in there and check for clearance as best you can.

No problemo. What wheels did you find? Are your roads good? I don't think I could get away with 18's where I live.

the wheels you mention should work just fine.

i've had 19x10 +25 on all 4 on my TT and it was fine w/o any issues.
