we are being bombarded with the simple questions of very young men and women on an almost blanketing daily basis.

What does a man do in this instance?

Welcome.

Fit? Why would it not fit?

275/40/19: Actual speed 100.0 MPH. Speedometer will read 96.46 MPH. Is this acceptable for you?

Man,how many times has this question been asked?
The tire sizes you selected for 19's,are the "traditional" sizes
for 19's.The 40 series tire has a pretty low sidewall(I have this mix).
I'd stay away from the 35's.

275/40 doesn't look right on 19s IMO. Go with 18s if you want more tire or stick to 35 series tire on the 19s and drive carefully. Parts of new york are like driving on the surface of the moon and my wheels are holding up fine.

Go 245/35 and 275/35 instead. This is the typical tire size in 19. Looks better and will keep your speedometer accurate.

Traditional size? Are you sure ? The sizes he posted are 1 inch taller than the stock tires. Does he have clearance for a 1 inch taller tire? Post pics of your car with the super tall tires on it.

Will they fit? Probably.
Will it look good? No.
Supra wheels run high offsets which aren't desirable for the Z. Do you know the wheel widths?

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

Don't waste your time. You will have to spend more money on wheel spacers just to push them out to factory specs.

$350 wheels
~$200 decent wheels spacers
~$600 tires (being generous)
~$30 hubcentric rings

Not to mention mounting/balancing.

IMO, keep looking. There are decent wheel/tire packages available that will fit properly for the amount it would cost to make those work.

Please learn what an offset is first and then compare with other wheels that are similar. You will end up kicking yourself after you buy those wheels.

Default Trying to find the right wheel

Are there any decently priced 19" wheels with lower offsets (below +25), some good lippage, and a staggered setup wider than 8.5 and 10, that IS NOT named varrstoen 1.1.2? I have been looking at every brand and it seems you cannot get all 3 together. I tried looking in the classifieds for some higher end wheels, but not much on there right now...

The first question people are going to ask you is what do you consider decently priced, it is all relative to how much money you make or wish to spend?
