Thinking of a wheel change .....still have found a set 8.5 et38 front and a 9.5 et 33 rear the rear will be 24mm further out than stock but as it a 2.8 and wider at the rear i can fit them no issues.
The front on the otherhand is the question i spaced my wheel a further 6mm out than it is and it shows the distance the new would stick out the wheel itself is dished so it will be further out at the edge but over all further in.
Do you think this looks wrong ? The tyre will have a stretch on the new rim but only slight.

I would think that it's about the same as mine Ant. If it's set of wheels you like, go for it mate.

wheels are a very personal choice, to some there great to others not so, i had the original 15 inch pepperpots on mine when i brought it, never liked them but i have noticed another montreal blue zed on my way to work which has them, looks quite retro, seen it parked there for about 3 weeks now.

maybe i need to stick a card on it

Get it done, fantastic wheels on a Z.
You can get inserts for the gaps in the spokes to change to look of them. Great wheels.

Need to see a 3/4 photo, back and front, but they should look fine with deep dish on a stretched tyre - looking forward to seeing the new set on the car!

The rears will be perfect with a 255/35/18 the front will have a stretch at 225/40/18 but it won't be too heavy if noticable at all.
