Isn't 19x7.5 too narrow? Im not a wheel expert but the Z runs staggered setup. If the wheels are 7.5 all around, I hope the tires are staggered size atleast.

You can't find any pics because no one would buy them, in that
particular specs.

7.5" is too narrow for our cars my friend. Worse thing is that
you've ordered set of four in which all 4 rims are 7.5" wide.
Did you do any research prior to ordering these?
Our cars require fatter tires in the rear because it's RWD car.
Just FYI, I'm running 9" in the front and 10" in the rear.

FYI i didnt buy them from that site its just a pic of what i got . I spoke to the guy at the goodyear store i got them at and he says he has alot of rxpirience with putting the right size and width on the car so i trust him I dont have the Exact specs but he said the rear is like 275 something something . I'll take pics and everything later when they are in . cause they only had three in stock and they have to find the 4th.

alan,

if he said 275 in the back, then I think its ok. thats the width of the tire. Just make sure he has 245 wide tires in the front so you can make your car staggered. the stock wheels for the 2004 Z is 7.5 wide all around but the rear tires are wider than the fronts.
Just do more research on this site and post. alot of ppl post here for no reason w/o doing a search. theres a reason why wheels for our cars are so expensive. Our wheels are wider than most cars = more money. even if the rims are cheap, our sizes makes it expensive.

No offence bro but the ff7 is not a wheel for the Z. I have friends that put them on eclipses and civics. Imp not a fan of either of those cars but they are better suited for them. Please don’t get mad, just expressing my opinion

umm its his car! He is entitled do do as he chooses to it! How does it in any way effect you?

I say if you like those rims and you think they look good, then do it, dont listen to anyone telling you otherwise, However hopefully the above specs of 7.5 with a +45 offset is not what you will be getting.. That really will just not work right..

I don't think you'll be happy with the 7.5's once on the car. Go to private classifieds and look under wheels, you should find something nice for $1800.00. 9.5 and 10.5 will make you much happier.
