    Hi all,

    Will these wheels fit as a set on my ZX with the appropriate tyres fitted?

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LENSO-D1...=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c5b4c8c99

    I would be leaning towards Federal 595's, 235/45ZR17 up front and 275/40ZR17 down back. Also would these tyres be fine and not throw the speedo much? Maybe even just 255/40ZR17's rear. Does anyone have this wheel and/or tyre combo that could help, or a similar size one?

    I myself will be getting some D1R.
    Those offsets are very safe with pretty much any tyre combo.

    My setup will be the:
    18x9+15
    18x10+22
    which is flush on fronts few millimetre poke on rear.

    Use that as a guage

    the offset on the ebay link will fit easily no problems.

    it's actually a few centimetres of poke on the rear FYI.

    Oh ok, just thought I would make it clear before I spend a grand! I have 5 spoke 17 inch silver painted alloys but they look plain and bland if you know what I mean. Probably keep them for burnout wheel at burnout comp haha!

    Ah yes, I know these wheels.

    Ripped those decals & center caps off as soon as I fitted them to my JZZ30.

    Good to have the option of choosing your desired specs as well w/ these I liked.

    Gday MIKEZX Are they the 18x10 +22 and 18x9 +15 and What tyres were / are you running? :zlove:Cheers Kiff!!

    G'day Kiff, you are correct, except 17" on the fronts which I carried this staggered height over from my Soarer. I do plan on going the 18x10 +22 for the front as well though eventually.

    I have 235/40/17 on the fronts & temporary 245/40/18 rear until I get around to buying some 255's + :D

    Seems a bit overpriced.

    I paid $1300 for a set of 18's WITH tyres from Tempe Tyres a couple of months ago for the convertible
