I dont do black wheels I think that kills the car plus everyone and thier mom does black wheels these days.

The specs are 19x8.5 F 19x9.5 R with low offset (under 25mm) due to the factory Brembo brakes. Tires I'll go with 245/35/19 F 275/30/19 R
275/35-19 is the proper rear tire size

Keep looking op! A nice set of Nismo, Volk, AME (Phenom's would look nice on op's ZR), Work, find these gently used here or get some classic Enkei Rpf1's in SBC would look great on your ZR!

According to 3 wheel dealers and a few vendors on this site 275/30/19 is the proper fit.

What is your zip code? I can get a grand total for you.

Thanks

Most cars I have seen here in Ohio cannot pull off black wheels properly, let alone wheel style/manufacturer and offset. Black can be done nicely, RobertK's is a great example of that.

L.S.D. motorsports lol, tell them to throw in a sheet of tabs in the wheel box!

As a reference, here is mine with:
19x9.5 +22 fronts with 10mm spacer for +12 net offset, with 245/35/19 Hankook V12
19x10.5 +22 rears with 15mm spacer for +7 net offset, with 275/35/19 Hankook V12
These are LE37t's, so similar to your wheels.

I'm lowered on coilovers in these pictures, with camber somewhere near OEM specs due to having adjustable camber arms in the rear. This spacing might be a bit too aggressive on the Hotchkis drop....I might go with 5mm front and 10mm rear if I were you. But with the rear fenders rolled as others have mentioned, you would have no problem fitting 10mm front and 15mm rear spacers with those offsets and tire sizes.

Most is an understatement lol!

I do like RobertK's but not for my ride. I want hyper silver.

BTW tire rack and discount tire same the same thing about tire size needing to be 275/30/19 not sure if its the offset or what but I can't imagine all these companies are wrong.

275/30/19 is too small of a sidewall. You want a 35 series as others have said. Listen to terrasmak, he knows his sh*t.

275/35/19 has been the correct size ever since I became a member in 05. You should do more research as 9.5 is more commonly used in the front and +25 is not exactly low offsets for the Z. 9.5/10.5 +22 is a better median to begin with.

You can tell all 3 wheel dealers and vendors on this site that they are f-ing idiots. Then ask them if a 275/35-19 would be a closer match to the stock height rear tire.

Do you find a lot of dirt being thrown back by protruding tires onto the lower front panels/rear fenders?

Default 9.5 square or 9.5/10.5 staggered... convince me please

So I'll try to keep this short. I've been agonizing over this decision for a while now. Background:
1. Car is all motor and will be for the foreseeable future
2. Sitting on stock 04.5 suspension, will never be "slammed" (spring mount mod soon, mild drop with shocks and springs if/when I blow a shock maybe)
3. Year round daily driver (run a snow tire setup in winter)
4. Currently 19x8.5f, 19x9.5r w/ BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 (came on car when purchased)

Purchasing wheels and tires soon, right now leaning towards 18" rpf1's in silver. Is there any real reason to go with the ever popular 9.5/10.5 stagger? I just don't see needing the grip in the back without f/i. Logic tells me that I'd make the car want to plow more, and factor in the added rolling resistance and it would seem to me that a more neutral handling 9.5 square setup makes more sense. Car won't see much track use, so for the sake of simplification, let's keep the scope of the discussion limited mostly to "spirited daily driving." Primary goal (if you couldn't tell from wheel choice) is performance on a budget. Any pros/cons, opinions, experiences, flaming is welcome... or am I just overthinking this?
