here is the 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear supermesh i photoshopped onto a lowered DB Z. i think wheelsnext.com is a good place to get them from what i hear, unless anyone else has a better opinion.

if you have brembos you are going to need spacers to run these wheels. i have run into that twice now selling the supermesh.

I dont have Brembos so what would be a good offset for a non-brembo z runing 19's all around and also running 19's in the back and 18's up front.

Why would you run a staggered diameter? Doesn't that throwoff the awesome balance of this car?

You probably want an offset close to +20. I've seen some Z's with these wheels with stupid offsets that made the wheels tucked so far in. SUnk like a battleship.

the problem is that they only come in:

18x8 +40
19x8.5 +40
19x9.5 +45

Neadmiken so what would i need to make them look right with 19x9.5 in the back and 18x8 in the front will they be sunken in or stick out too far i dont know much about offsets and

the reson i want to stagger diameter is because(credit to strife350z fo he explains it better than i can tell me what u think)

"What I'm getting at is, if you run 18s in the front and 19s in the back you'll get the following benefits:

1. Equal sidewall height front and rear. A 245/40/18 is the correct tire size for an 18 inch front rim. A 275/35/19 is the correct tire size for a 19 inch front rim. These tires have identical sidewall heights, meaning you get more protection for your rims, while maintaining the stock stagger (i.e. your fronts will still be 1" shorter in diameter than the back as per nissan OEM specs)

2. Balanced "look" front and rear. Lets take for example my 19s. I have 19x8.5 in the front, and 19x9.5 in the back. This is the most common setup for our cars. As you know, the 19x9.5 has more lip in then the front rim, by virtue of the rim diameter. While lip looks HOT, it makes a rim appear SMALLER than it actually is. Take a look at the wheels gallery and you will know what I mean. Check out how an 18" rear rim with a fat lip looks. You'll be surprised to find that the rear rim actually appears SMALLEr than the front. That's because of the lip. When you run 19s in the back and 18s in the front, you negate this optical illusion. Making your rims appear more balanced (from most angles).

3. Lighter weight, cheaper front rims/tires. Your 18s in the front will be lighter and cheaper than the 19s in the back.

For all these reasons above, it is my opinoin that running 18s and 19s front and rear respectively gets you the best of both worlds. Looks, lip, performance and a big enough tire sidewall to protect your expensive new rims. As I mentioned in the thread, I am currently running 19x8.5 in the front with a 245/35/19 tire, and it is just too little sidewall... resulting in a noisier, bumpier ride and leaving me more prone to pothole damage to my rims since there is less rubber cushioning it."-strife350z

also still looking for weights and tire size if the one mentioed above wont work
thanks everyone
