new sp1's for my FD

Got a pair of 18x9+37 ssr sp1's from tire rack for only $249ea to match my 18x10+24's.
18x9


18x10


My old setup was 18x9.5+30 and 18x9.5+12 cr kai's with 225 F and 235 R, but I want to run more rubber with my single so im going to more conservative offsets so i can fit 235F and 255R. Probably gonna try the 595RS on this set.

Old setup, i loved the emos but i have also loved sp1's for a long time.

9" +37 and 10" +24 is still aggressive. that leaves you with with a full inch of backspacing that you could be using for bigger tires

Ya, im running rolled fenders and a slight pull in the rear but i do understand its alot more aggressive than what most people recommend. Tire rack has a few 18x10+37 left that im thinking of picking up a pair for the rear incase i wanna run 275's

Ya, they can be a pain in the *** sometimes. If you call and tell them you have a 350z they will sometimes have better sizes to offer you. I talked to a really cool guy that was willing to get me sizes other than what they recommend for factory style fit. Here is a copy of the e-mail he sent me last week about their remaining supply of decent size sp1's and prices.

Thanks again for your order. For the specs you're looking for here's what we still have available:

SP810SL37JBAL Black 18X10 5-114 ET37 SSR SP1# $329.00

SP8105SL30JBSATAL Bright Satin Silver 18X10.5 5-114 ET30 SSR SP1# $379.00

SP895SL43JBAL Black 18X9.5 5-114 ET43 SSR SP1# $299.00

ZSP810L49JBSATAL Bright Satin 18X10 5-114 ET49 SSR SP1# $189.00

SP810SL37JBAL Black 18X10 5-114 ET37 SSR SP1# $329.00

SP895SL43JBAL Black 18X9.5 5-114 ET43 SSR SP1# $299.00


We still have a few of the SP89L37JBAL Black 18X9 5-114 ET37 SSR SP1# 249.00 that we The 2 you just received.
I figured some of you guys would be interested in the 18x9.5+43 or 18x10+49 since those are more standard for FD. Oh ya, i only asked about 18's but I know they do have 17x8.5+30 and 17x8.5+35 on clearance sale for $189 and $199 also, listed under 350z if you use the website

Nope, no lower offset ones. The S chasis guys cleaned out all those I think. I actually dont have the cr's anymore but im thinking of picking up another set for track spares or some 57max's.

Sorry for the delay, i just got my car running again. Here are some on car pics, please excuse the massive fender gaps, coilovers will be coming soon.



That is with stock camber settings, and 225 front and 245 rear. I will be running 235 and 255 federal 595rs, when the car is closer to being track ready. I dot know why the front pic looks like positive camber, its not tho.
