    I have 18" Work Meister S1's

    They are a two piece forged rim. I had the exact same rim but in 17" before buying these to suit the brake upgrade.
    They are 8.5" front 9.5" rears. Rears sit flush with the guard, fronts sit flush with the very top of the front fender. Running 245/275 setup.

    Piccy of a front rim with no caliper (they are dirty as hell in this pic as they haven't been cleaned in over 6 months, I am going to roll the Z out of the garage to get some nice shots of the brake setup after exams) The dish is even fatter on the rears :p gotta love a deep dish :)

    Hey mate,

    How did you go with the 275's on the 9.5" rears? Did they fit ok? Overhang?

    Was thinking about changing to them once my rears are worn down...but am unsure if they would be suited to 9.5" wide rims.

    Nice rims btw! *thumbsup*

    Cheers
    Rob.

    What profile are you running currently?

    I have 9.5" with 265's on the rear. Looking at my rims, you could get 275 on there easy, but the inside of my tyres are very close to my exhaust so it's whether you have the room or not.

    275's are fine on 9.5" rims. I had a set of 285s that could have been squeezed on but they were pirelli P-Zeros and have a very thick sidewall with a 30 profile so I opted to go with the 275's. Any other brand 285 will fit with a 30 profile, I saw it for myself.

    My fronts are 245/40/18s these hit the inner guards over big bumps but switching to a 35 or 30 profile would fix that straight away.

    275s are a perfect fit for a 9.5" rim, no overhang, the sidewall is vertical.

    Hope this helps.

    I should also mention that

    the 285 P-Zeros were about 305mm wide.

    For 18x10 rears between +48 and +52
    and for the 18x9 fronts ~+30 or 32

    Fronts are a little tricky because when you view them from the front of the car they appear inline with the guard, but viewing them from the rear of the car the wheels look to be further in.
