yup, 4" up front 5" in the rear. I think I'm going to run 235/35 and 265/35.

ok so I tried 3mm and 5mm, still wont clear.. 8mm would work but I cant find hub centric spacers in that size which leaves me to use a 10mm. ok, so that puts me at -11 up front. would I have to space out the rear now to balance it off 19x11+8 already?? I'd hate to sell/trade wheels but if I have to I will...

IMO you will need at least a 10mm spacer in the rear to match the "flushness" of the fronts if they are going to be 19x9.5-9

ok I got you now, hm... I didn't want to space out the fronts as much and now I may have to for the rears as they stick out already, I may just sell these.

Eww a 8.5? You will need spacers with such a tiny rear tire.

That's not the ideal wheel sizes for the Z, wheels will be very sunk. My recommendation would be to sell it and get better sized wheels or if you must, buy massive spacers.

You need both new wheels and tires.

Default 19x8 tire sizes

Hi, I have a 03 Touring, and it looks like it has Axis Mod 19x8 all round. Don't know why somebody would do that, but that's the way I bought it.
All tires on there are worn unevenly, and will soon need replacing. (It had an alignment right before I bought it) It has 235/35/19 front and 255/35/19 rear. Is this the best tire size for these rims? They look narrow, due to the
8" rear wheels. I tried searching, but everybody seems to have wider rears than 8".
I think I'll also have to learn about spacers, since they look so far into the body. Thanks

225/40 front and 245/40 rear or 245/35 front and 245/40 rear will work great.

If you have the means you might be better off going with new wheels with proper widths/offsets rather than throw money at something you're going to end up hating.
