I don't like the wheels that the person is selling but if you do that's all that matters.

Does this matter? Unless he has /65/ series sidewalls tehy are going to look sunk with that offset imo

I guess the 9" and 11" wide would help. But im 19x9.5/10.5 +17/18 and with 275/35 in the rear and 245/35 up front, there was a lot of gap. I bumped up to 255s and 285s and now people ask what coils Im on---and im on tanabe gf210s...

The front tires would be 10mm taller than OEM. The rears would be around 18mm taller. Maybe if you aren't lowered at all these would fit but the whole set up is going to look awkward on a Z.

Thanks! I like 20 inch rims on Z's - so, based on what was said, need offsets closer to 20 or so, with tires sizes of ??
Car is not lowered, which is y I like 20's as these give it the race look without having to modify the height of the car

Post pictures of the wheels and we'll determine if they "give it the race look"
I am willing to eat my words here... there ARE some 20s out there I've considered......but for now 19s for looks for me

no race look, they give it the homie bling bling I got dubs yo look. If you want a race look , buy some nice wide 18's.

I guess the new Porsche 991 is homie bling bling because it has 20in wheels on it? I hate that assumption that 20s=ghetto If done right 20s can look sporty even 18s can look ghetto if you get the wrong type of wheels. Also according to Porsche they can be functional otherwise they wouldn't put them on the 911.
