i don't know a lot about the z wheels, but unless the are poking out you should be able to go as low as you want with a roll and the right size tire (225/40 will do).

245-40-18, 18x8.5, small amount of rubbing on the passenger side, probably because I need to recenter my rear beam.

you've got a good few mm more to play with. if i was on an 8.5 it would be like having a 23 offset. 5 more mm and i would be poking. granted we're talking mm, but thats what it boils down to.

i'm contemplating running +35offset wheels with 18x8 and 18x9s...i know this will work at stock height..but with like a 1.5-1.7 drop this should still work and not rub on my 00 right?

Both taken from this very thread. Now plug your #'s into that equation and see what you get. i.e. your offset - mine, then add a about 1/4" to each side in order to compensate for the extra 1/2" width you will have on me (9" vs 8.5"). Convert those #'s to mm, and you have an idea as to where you stand compared to me.
