getting 18" RH Z5000 what offset?

hey i need your help

im planning on getting the RH Z5000's soon and i wanted to know exactly which rim offset and tire to get..

i have heard of the 235 and the 225... i dont get the width of the tires please help! and what kind of tires are good? Pirelli P7000's good? i have heard the P-Zero's are too sticky...

my car is lowered with Eibach pro Kit and INgall's camber kit (front and rear) just wanted to know if my car will be higher if i get therims but slimmer tires.

Z5000 18 x 7.5 - 42mm Offset
- 4x114.3 & 5x114.3 Bolt Pattern - Silver

Z5000 18 x 7.5 - 35mm Offset
- 5x100 & 5x112 Bolt Pattern - Silver

Get the +42 offset but it will rub if you put 225/40/18s
It might rub w/ 225/35/18s, it should not rub w/ 215/35/18s

aww dont get them..

j/p i guess..

hell no dont go with 35 offset.. u will rub like crazy..

i have 42 + and i rub.. rear bumper i had to cut the tabs.. my front rub still when i hit quick or deep bumps..

i have neuspeed sports so they a lil bit lower then ur eibach so u should be alright...

im running 225/40/ maybe i should have gone with 215/40 but for ur eibachs i think 225 would be okay.. maybe others can confirm or not..

I have the z5000's in 18 x 7.5, but I don't know the offset - I never looked. I got them from Wheelmax and they did me right. I have Tokico blues and H&R Sports and I DO NOT RUB EVER !
They weren't really cheap, but I think they're worth it. Good quality and cheaper than the SSR's I wanted.
Oh, the rubber - 215/35/18 Falken FK-451 Grb. I have to say, excellent tire ! I've had no problems at all with grip and they seem to be wearing very well (although they're off for the winter).
Very good performance. Pirelli's are nice too - I just wanted to try something that not a lot of people had, hence the Falkens. Don't be fooled by price...

Agreed, 35 series are way too thin.........
However, that is the only way to fit RH evolution rims in 18" w/ out rubbling on a 5th gen dropped prelude
