i think 19's are the best for the Z and i got 19 too but i never thought about 20's on my Z...

 

Like you stated your Z is a street Z. Get what you like not what someone else tells you to get. If you are interested in 20's get to a Z meet and look at the cars with 18-20's and see which one grabs you the most visually. The difference in performance between 19's and 20's aint gonna be hugely obvious on the street. I have 20's on my Z and have NEVER had trouble keeping up with my fellow club members sonme of whom are on smaller rims. Be it turns or straights. Tracking is a different story and 18's trump 19's as Ive heard. 19's or 20's come down to personal choice and mission of your Z. Good luck with your decission. I love how the Z looks with either 19' or 20's as long as you give them proper width.

20's fill up the wells nicely. Get a agressive offset and it will look nice. I thought 20's were a bit much on my car but after I got my kit done it was a match made in heaven.

 

Thanks...
I don't know what all the fuzz about the 20" is... the difference between them and the 19" is not that big... I had both. personally I liked the 20's better...

 

I have Axis Shine 20x10 275/30/20 on the rear and 19 x8.5 245/35/19 on the front. The only thing I would have done different would be 285's on the rear.

 

^ Dang those are sweet lookin!

 

Let's roll with the 40s mang

 

If you're into the looks, sure. If you're into performance, then a big no.

 

 

sorry^^those are my 20 and i love them

 

Now that is a great lookin ride. Black on black/chrome is the best!

I don't think so

 

Just get what makes you happy...not people on a forum

 

20's on a Z look great when executed properly....Like here, one of the cleanest DB"s on the site, with 20's

In my opinion they are, yes.

 

i guess i don't have to worry about it for the time being. I decided to buy some 06+ rims and i'm going to rock those in black for a while. I don't know why, but i'm really diggin the look of these painted.

 

There is a god. Chrome 20s AND a roadster...that would be way too much.

You asked for an opinion so I'll give mine. The Z is a sports car. Therefore, it's not the kind of car (IMHO) where a wheel mod should be to ADD weight. Air weighs less than metal as does rubber.

But....if you're looking to turn it into a pimpmobile, get 20s (in chrome).

If you're looking to shave off a bit of weight, go with gram lights or a similar light wheel in a smaller size.

 

The wheel has little to do with "filling the wheel well".


Look at the diagram of a cross section of a wheel and tire. The rim diameter changes with a 17" an 18" a 19" and a 20" and so on. However, the overall diameter (the tire AND wheel) don't change.

What changes is the "section height" of the tire. As you increase the rim diameter, you decrease the section height of the tire. The overall diameter stays the same.

But it appears to fill the wheel well because it's all wheel and no tire. All tire and less wheel fill it equally .

 

What the hell is up with people here... I got 20 and all i gotten is complements. if i was gonna race my car every time i drove it i would care about stupid $hit like that but since im not then i went with what i liked. so i liked 20's and they look damn good.

so **** the people on the forum and go with what u like. after all you are the one spending the money.
