posted after each option?

 

thanks for your help. So basically it looks like with the tires that come on the wheels, I'm not in for a good result. At the minimum I'd have to buy some spacers, switch the fronts with a 255 wide and I may end up having to roll some fenders.

 

No, at minimum, you'll need spacers AND new tires to fit those wheels to a Z33 as comparison between Z33 tire diameter and the ones you quoted don't work to begin with and no switching around will make them work.

Stock reference (size/diameter):
225 45% 18 25.97
245 45% 18 26.68

GTR tires per OP:
285 35% 20 27.85
295 35% 20 28.13

20s aren't optimum for a Z33. Recommend you look at 18 or 19s.

EDIT: Something didn't look right so I looked it up....

Factory GTR fronts are:
255 40% 20 28.03 (which is even further off)

 

Yea I know, these are not the factory size tires on this set. I actually would prefer 19s or 18s, but when I saw these for sale I wanted to see if it was doable. I'm just gonna look for a decent set of aftermarket 18s or 19s instead. Thanks again.

 

With the above sized wheels, could I run 255/35 20 And 295/30 20 tires? Car is stock height and fenders not rolled. Pics of wheels.

 

255/30-20 would be a more proper front tire and your rear should work but I would drop ton285/30-20

 

Only reason I was going 35 in the front was because of things I read earlier in this thread

 

You will end up with a front tire taller than the rear, abs and TCS will not like you

 

20" Weds Kranze Glossa in Hyper Chrome. Kenda tires in 245/35ZR20.

I don't like them for the record and hope to replace them soon. Came with the car.

 

what are those wheels and color? Looks fire!

 

Hi I was wondering what your offset was? I literally just bought a 350z today and I love the rolled fender, wide rims and slight tire stretch look. I know its not good for racing but I'm not a racer.

 

Honestly not sure.. will check and get back to you. Ended up having to roll fenders to run 295 30 20 in the rear and 255 30 20 in the front.

 

Ok it's been a month and I find it hard to find wheels (off the shelf) for this car. Seems like its rare to have staggered 20" 5x114.3. Especially if I am looking for a multi piece wheel with lip. Any recommendations?

Maybe cuz I am in Canada

 

Reconsider a smaller diameter. Less rotating mass= faster acceleration, faster braking.

 

I'm really not a racing. I just recently purchased a 350z convertible and cruising and styling the car is what I was looking to achieve.

 

If you're looking for cheap, then yes, your options are very limited. Up your budget, meaning $2.5k+ and there are plenty of new wheels. Off the shelf rarely are multi-piece wheels, maybe fake multi-piece with the rivets only for aesthetics. Lots of nice used wheels on the market but you'll have to shop around.

 

Hi to the Community and Z lovers…

I will like to state that i have my car since new with only 70k miles and it is fully OEM except wheels, tires and spolier. The car is a Sunday car with no track at all.

That being said, i have 20" since i bought it and have been SUPER happy with the look and ride. The combination is 20 x 8 (Offset +20) and 20 x 10 (Offset +25). Tires were 245/35/20 and 285/30/20. I had to change tires and as i didn't have more options over here in PR i had to change the rear tire to 295/35. Obviously, i knew that it will be .6 higher in diameter so as i am stock height decided to go with it. I don't have any rub so good to go there but i noticed a little more bumpy on the ride. It is not that much but it is a little change for me. I changed the pressure to 32 and it is better but still there.

My questions are the following to see if you can give me some guidelines and advise:
1. Should i change my OEM shocks to see if it get better?
2. Is there any aftermarket shocks you recommend without lowering the car?
3. is there any suggestion for helping the little bumpy ride?

I will take advantage of this thread to also make some questions as i will plan to also change Rims but try to stay with the same tire combination as they are new and the investment is already made. I am looking at the Vossen but there standard offsets are front +25 and rear +45. Checking the Willtheyfit page i will not have problems with the rear but in the font seems that i will poke a little which i don't want. That is going 9.5 and 10.5.
1. Will the 9.5 / +25 really poke?
2. Will the 9.5 fit the 245/35 and not look that streched?
3. I know i will not have problem on the rear with 10.5 with the 295. Please confirm.

Thanks in advance and sorry for all the questions. if you guys want i can post a pic of the car for reference.

 

+45 is terrible but "should" fit. I would suggest selling and getting 19s it will ride better in every way. I have 9.5+25 and I wouldn't call it poke, only factory replacement shocks worth getting would be Bilstein.

 

Thanks @DarkZ03 for the feedback and for the pic.... It gives me a great idea on the 9.5 +25 (front). What you are running in the back or you are square? Can you throw a pic?

I will consider it but when you already have a huge investment on Tires Michelin iPS4 t is very difficult to sell everything. After doing more research i was confused with the standard offsets on the Vossen wheels. Our car uses low profile offsets so +20 / 25 should be the route.

Once again, Thanks...

 

No I'm staggered, with a 11+30 in the back
