AZA Z-8, now possible?

[SuaveRider]

Hello,
I just noticed on wheelmax.com that the z-8s now have new offsets. I just got off the phone and was told that these should fit no problem. Can anyone verify that we will have no issues with these rims? I don't want to roll the fenders.

They are listed as Front: 18x8.5 40mm offset
Rear: 18x9.5 45mm offset

Can anyone verify that the rears have been tested on a goat? Also, about the tires. I have the factory 18's and am hoping to use at least 2 of them. Do you think they would be fine up front? For the rear wheels, they recommend 265/35s.

I have been waiting a long time for wheels that I like to become available but really don't want to end up returning them.

Waiting for you rim gurus to chime in! Anyone already running these please post a picture.

+1 on that man!!!!

wow if what you are saying is true....that make two of us very happy.

there is a guy here on the board Snafu that is supposed to be a dealer by now but i haven't kept up on his progress.

let me know if you find anything out about this.... i have wanted these wheels (in our offset) for about 8 months now.

Well, Wheelmax says so. I just want some more experience people on this board to verify those specs.

Anyone?

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Sorry, no way a 45mm 9.5" wheel fits in the rear without grinding or rolling.
