you would have to roll and pull the rear fender... why do that when you can get proper wheels for the car, and slam a 295 back there

It's probably not good to go onto a 20" wheel thread and tell people there to discard the 20" wheels for 18" wheels.

I apologize... I missed that... When I read the thread, it was inside the 20" wheel forum.

Default Do you think 20'' wheel on 350Z is BIG ?

what is your opinion of 20 inches wheels on the Z ?


I see many website offer 20'' wheels for 350Z but most people get 19 or 18.

20's are too big. And if you stay off of CarId, you'll stop seeing such shitty shitty things. lol.

And yeah, that's the ONLY time I've seen 20's done right.

There's also a better selection of tires in 18's and 19's than in 20" sizes. Cheaper too.

For every inch your increasing the rim size the cost of a set of tires also does by about $250-300.

I have 19" wheels for my z and they are plenty big.

20” wheels are:
  1. Heavy (higher wheel weight means lower acceleration and handling)
  2. Expensive (for both the wheels and the tires)
  3. Less comfortable (the larger the wheel, the less cushioning from your tire)
I think of the 350z as a car that is home when it’s on the track, which is no place for 20”wheels.

Sometimes it works.
Most of the time they look too big imo. But if done right it can look pretty darn sweet.

This is one of the best I've ever seen:
Vossen CV3 - Matte Graphite - F: 20x10.5 / R: 20x10.5
No idea about offsets.
