Hi im Kyle, i have a 2003 track model z

Im thinking i want to buy a set of the vip modular vxs series wheels. just not sure on what sizes and offsets i should get... i want the lips to be flush maybe slightly poking but squared front to back with larger lips in the rear.

help me out fellow z/g owners :thumb up:

and of course...a teaser

 

19x7 +55 all around

 

bro, search and learn about it a little. After you get the proper size wheels, you are going to ask what size tires to get, so learn that while you're at it.

 

but to help you out I would get around 19x10 +0 /19x11 +0 hella flush

 

Fronts 19x9.5", offset between 0 and +15.
Rears 19x10.5", offset between 0 and +15.
(The higher the offset, the less flush it will be)

Alt. rear size, 19x11", offset between +5 and +17

Check the wheel picture threads to see how certain sizes and offsets fit and look on the Z.

 

Sounds about right. We tried out our V710s in 19x9.5 +2 (+22 with 20mm spacer) and 19x11 +5 (+25 with 20mm spacer) on a G35 coupe and it was pretty flush.

 

Sounds good thanks for the help everyone. just wanted to get a general idea of what I needed and I'm off in the right direction...

I'll look around some more and get ideas

 

I just ordered my set of Eibach sport line lowering springs and I was wondering what the widest wheel I could go on the back was? I have the 19' forged rays off of a g35. I was thinking 275 on the rear and 255 on the front. Is that too wide for the back?

 

i run those springs on my g and had them on my z and had and have 275/35/19's on the back of both..itll be fine

 

most people run 245/35/19 on the front though

 

Its not the springs that are a concern, you could easily run a 305/30 out back with those springs. It is your little 19x8.5 wheel. The tire you want is a 245/40-19 for the rear and a 225/40-19 front. You can also run a 245/35-19 up front if you want.

 

What he said. Your drop is not the limiting factor, it is the width of your wheel in this case.

 

i have these springs;
Front: 20x9.5 +17 Michelin PSS 265/30/20
Rear: 20x11 +22 Michelin PSS 295/30/20

 

Agreed.

 

Im about to buy a set of rims, but I dont want to be the idiot who buys wheels that dont fit their car... So Im looking at a set of used 19" rims and the sizes are as follows...
19x8.5 +25
19x9.5 +30


I read one of the official wheel threads and it seems +25 should be fine for the front, but it only recommended up to +25 for the rear. So the question is will +30 offsets create a problem with the rear wheels?

If I've been reading everything correctly the rims will fit fine, but they wont sit flush? I dont want to use spacers but it seems I will have to with these offsets?

 

Nope. OEM GT/Nismo rear wheels are more aggressive than 9.5+30.

 

The sizing should bolt onto the car, but it's not going to be super flush. This is how our 19x9.5 +22/19x11 +25 V710 looks on a Z with lowering springs.





Those fronts would be 16mm more sunk than what is on this car, and the rear would be 24mm more sunk than what is on this car. Keep in mind though that this car may have slightly more camber than a stock one would.

 

HAs anyone ran 305 rears?

 

I run 255/40/18 and 285/35/19 Nitto tires without any problems. There is more than enough room for the 285. Next time I will go up to 265 and 295. I this combination just for the street? It does require considerably more power to turn the larger tires on the track.

 

yes it's been done. only seen it on aftermarket wheels tho.
