I never understand why people go with such small rim widths on the Z. Our wheelwells are huge

You can easily run a 9.5 up front and a 10.5 rear. Order through Adam and he can work with you on fitment with the right offset. I am running a 19x11 on my rear with a custom offset. Bigger is better when it comes to wheels unless you actually plan on racing your car at the track

I never understand why people want to waste width and add weight when all they are going to run is a 275 or 285 tire. 8.5 and 9.5 will work great for you.

Because a 19 inch rim or 20 inch rim is not going to make you fast, so added weight etc is a moot point. Are you going to run R-compounds on them or something? Get some 17's for that then. If someone is going to go with a 19 or 20 inch rim, then maximize that lip and not go ***** with a 8.5 and 9.5

I have decided to go with the TSW Thruxton Hyper Black wheels, at 19x8 front and 19x9.5 rear. My tires will be the BFGoodrich KDW-2's with 245's front and 275's rear...what do u guys think?
