New staggered wheel set-up

Wondering what you guys think for this set-up and if anyone on here is currently running something close to this.

18x9.5 +12F 235/40
18x10.5 +22R 255/40

any input is appreciated

Based on my wheels I'm certain you'll rub in the back unless you run way too much camber, but you should be able to squeeze the front in. Also what are you doing/what's been done in terms of suspension?

At the moment my suspension is stock, I was waiting to check out how much wheel gap I had with the new rims/tires and how much i'm going to have to roll my quarters to make the rears a nice fitment.

You'll most likely have to pull them as well as roll them. What wheels are you looking at? Always interesting to see what wheels people like.

TE37 Replica's. These ones are called Varrstoen ES 2.2.1. Similar to the Rota Grid.

I couldn't find any company in Canada that deals with either of these rims. So shipping was horrible, haha.

Went for a nice Matte Black finish too, I think it will go great with red.

Nice. I basically have the 5 spoke version of those. I wanted to get matte black too but I settled with a "gunmetal" kind of finish instead.

The Rota Grid's had a really nice colour caller: "Yamaha Black." Looks awesome on the red z's

Originally I had my mind set on those, but in the end I thought the Matte Black was better.

What sort of set-up are you running for your rims/tires?

I've got 9x17 +25 & 245/40's on the front and 9.5x17 +30 & 265/40's in the back. Lowered about an inch. Still a good amount of room in front and the back just barely fits in there without rolling at ~ -2.5° camber.
