Does anyone else run 18"x 12j rims on the rear??

[Jared350z]

I'm looking to get a new set of wheels for my Zed and I thought I knew what I wanted till I was given the list of ones available. If you run 18" x 12j rims on the rear can you get away with rolling the arches to make them fit or do you have to fit over fenders so the tire doesn't stick out??

 

The reason I wanna put 12j's on is that I wanna run a small dish on the front (18" x 9.5) and have a bigger dish on the rear (18" x 12j) Don't even get me started on the ET cause that is just confusing me as well.

 

So anyones help would be awesome

save you the hassle, there are only 5 zeds on there (of around 90) that are running 12" rears, and not one has overfenders.

This ones on 18x10 front and 18x12 rear, looks a tad wide for me!

OMG someones running 245 width tyres on 12" rims! thats some hellaflushstretchstanceworx going on there!

 

 

 

EDIT: just checked another photo and a close up of the rear shows the remains of a label showing 265... but still, pretty stretched!

Not gonna lie that looks awesome, the reason I want a wide bum on my Zed is if I have grip on the rear I wont drift it! I like to drift so this will stop me ha ha

It looks like he hasn't even worn the sticker off that rear tyre yet?

 

As for the look? I'm afraid I'm not a fan

Don't think that part of the tyre actually contacts the road .

Either that or he goes through a set of rears a week... Well the inside edge at least

I like the look just couldnt have my Zed that low, shitty speed bumps

12" would fit with a roll and pull of the arches. Most people who run 12's on the rear tend not to drive the car much, just to and from shows. The suspension would have to be very hard, assuming you're going to lower the car too because it'll look @*!# with huge rears and an arch gap.
