+1 on the wrong tire sizes. People aren't "hating" as assumed by some posts here. It's not just the "curbing", but the protection from normal driving elements.

I am prepared for normal wear and tear from daily driving, that is expected no matter what wheels you have. Hell, I already got a small rock chip in one of the lips and its only been like 4 days since I put the rims on. No biggie. Not the end of the world.

Wrong sizes? Put an 11" wide wheel with a -5mm offset with say a 285, 295 or 305 tire on a Z and drop the car and see what happens. I wanted this T1S wheel with a 5.5" lip in the rear so these are the offsets I needed. I also wanted to try 20s since I had 2 sets of 19s previously. After my Mastergrade CF rear diffuser and Veilside Version 1 front lip are installed the 20s will compliment the car better I think. 20s are definately not too big for a Z, I think they look good.

I won't even go into the whole stretched tire argument. People with all kinds of cars stretch tires to achieve more aggressive fitments than your average Joe running the same ole conservative offsets. I had stretched tires on my previous car, a 450hp 240sx and never once had any issues and it had just as aggressive a stretch as my Z does if not more aggressive.

All in all, its all good. Everyone is into their own thing.

because we all no an inch make a word of a difference. I guarantee if you take the wheels off the car alot of people would have a hard time telling if they are 19 or 20's. My wheels are 20's but if you drop it correctly the z pulls of 20's very nicely.

No doubt. If I didn't post the sizing, I bet people wouldn't even tell the difference, lol.
