I think I am about ready to take the plunge and buy a set of wheels and tires... Finally! I have had the car dropped using the Hotchkis springs which lowers the car no more than 9/16". See my Car Domain page for all mode I have done. I am looking into a set of black Volks with a massive polished lip. So I have a couple of questions I need to get answers to prior to commiting:

1) I want to put 19s on it and I am wanting to go with 19x10.5 in the rear and 19x9.5 in the front. I assume the fenders will need to be rolled. Will this big of wheels fit in the fender wells? Also, what size tires will I need to get and what is a cheap set of good tires? I have heard Falken Azenis (sp?) are good and cheap, or maybe a set of Komho's. I just dont want to drop $1200 on a set of tires.

2) I have VDC, so will this be a problem as far as the VDC is concerned?

3) Who is really cheap seller of tires and wheels?

4) What offset will be needed for this combo to work?

This may be all of my questions! Any help will be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Zach

 

Damn man. You have a lot more research to do:

1) Nobody is going to be able to tell you if your 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 will rub. Those numbers don't mean jack. The offset and tire size matter much more. As for tires I think you have been hanging out with Honda boys too much becuase Falken Azenis aren't made in anything close to 350Z sizes and I don't know that Kumho makes a 19" tire either.

2) VDC will be fine if you choose your tires wisely. Difference in overall diameter between the front and rear wheel is key.

3) All Vendors on this site are very close in price. Go with who can get you the wheels you want the quickest because they have them in stock.

4) Many offsets will work. If you are worried about rubbing I would go with an upper 20s offset.
