Default So new rims eh?

I'm not an expert in this area so I gotta quick question. The factory Bridgestones that comes with the Z's; now, when I buy new rims for my baby, they will still be able to fix on those Bridgestones correct? I'm asking this because I get free tires from Nissan for 3 years, so I'm not gonna be spending mega bucks buying the rims AND tires if I can get new tires whenever I want for 3 years. Fast replys are always a welcome.

I'm looking into purchasing 18" wheels, deep lips 'n all. Some nice 5 spoke split's like them PIAA's. Anybody got good suggestions for those type of wheels that won't cost me an arm 'n a leg but the wheels won't weigh a ton?

it depends on how wide you go... I think the fronts are 7" - 9". And the rears are 7.5" - 9.5" I'm pretty sure thats what the stock sizes can go up to. Let me know if I'm wrong.

Make sure your dealer will honor the free tires if you change rims...usually they look for any excuse possible to get out of this sort of obligation. Plus one of the best features of new rims would be wider tires.

True.....but free tires for 3 years is so delicious.

Any rims that you will want to buy will probably not fit properly with stock tires.
