Pics of Blitz Z2's on My FD

The info....These wheels came off my friends Supra. I know the tires are way to huge for the car. I may just buy the rims and buy some smaller tires.

The Sizes are:
18x9 +41 front with 245 40 18 Nitto 555
18x10 +43 rear with 285 35 18 Nitto 555

The front tires rub the top of the fenders if I hit a bump in the road
The rear tires are a tight fit. I had the rear fenders shaved down for an old set of wheels I used to have. I think they would rub on stock fenders.

you're running some tall tires! With those size wheels I would have suggested a 255/35/18 front and a 285/30/18 rear. Your tires are almost and inch taller than stock diameter in both the front and the rear, that could be causing some excess rubbing issues.

The wheels look great though, just may want to change tire sizes when you have to replace the rubber.

Good eye GoodfellasFD3S. I bought my wife the IS300 and I couldn't have her rolling around on stockers. It's a good excuse for me to buy different wheels when the FD is done going single.
