Question What rim and Tire size do you use?

Hi All,
I have an 05 Z that I brought with Work VS 20 inch rims on it, with 275/35ZR20 and 245/35ZR20 Tires on it.

I'm wanting to switch out the rims for some nice new black ones. I'm thinking of going for 19 inch.

What size rims and tires do you guys use?

Good call.... your existing 20s are way too tall:

225 45% 18 25.97 Stock Reference Size
245 45% 18 26.68 Stock Reference Size

245 35% 20 26.75 Current +0.78"/20mm
275 35% 20 27.58 Current +0.90"/23mm

Recommend 19x9 & 19x10
OR 19x9.5 & 19x10.5

Offsets below 30 F&R.

Tires: 245/35-19F 275/35-19R (alternate is 255/285 if you roll fenders, see note below)

Note: < ~22mm offset and particularly if lowered, high probability of your needing to roll rear fenders

i have 255 and 285 on 19 wheels. the offset is close to stock though. im dropped on eibach pro kit and dont rub. I think if i install my 15mm spacers it will need fender rolling.
