Very nice! Some people complain that 20" rims are too big but I think they fit perfectly. Fills the whole wheel well nicely. I guess it really depends on what kind of rims you get (blinger vs. sporty). Nice job!

Default rims

thanks for the comments guys

im actually suprised with the ride quality it actually feels like im riding on my stock 18's i actuallly weighed the stock and the new rims and i was also suprised that they felt very similar in weight. handling also feels so much better because of the width i have on those bad boys. I've always had a sports car previous two cars were 3000gt's but never put rims on any of my cars it attracts so much attention people just looking at your car i went to the movies last nite and somebody put a note on my car saying i love asians call me and put there phone number on by just seeing my car i don't know how they figured i was asian maybe the fairlady z badge but thats (wanted or unwanted) attention i wouldn't of got with my stock's

Default rims

when i had the stock rims it would tuck in like that too im not sure if it has nething to do with dropping the car with eibachs and i havn't got an alignment after the springs or it could be a higher profile on the tire i have 285/35's on the rear

AMAZING HOW YOU FIT 285-35, ON 20" WHEELS, WITH EIBACHS AND YOU DONT RUB.

I MIGHT CONSIDER GOING WITH 20'S LATER.

Its because of the offset. Look how far in the fenders the rear wheels are. Thats probably a +30 something offset.

Those wheels are WAY to big imo. You obviously don't track the car becasue if you did your fender would rub into your tire and probably pop it. It's bad enough with 19's and running, for example, Tein Flex or something.

They look pretty cool though.

+1. Why would anybody track/drag 20's on their Z/G? That's almost as bad as trying to track/drag a car that has some heavy duty video & sound equipment built in the car. You're essentially just adding more weight unless you have some serious juice to get your car up & going like FI. I'll slap on my 18's for the track/drag. I'm sure GTO agrees that these are simply for aesthetic reasons .
