Hey all, I know lots of things but tires and rims are not my specialty.

I am considering changing the rims and tires on my 2004 Z (touring with no Brembo package).

I am considering some 18x8’ on the front and 18’9.5 on the back TSW Thurxtons (both with +20 offset). Is this an appropriate sizing for the car or is too out of spec…I just don’t know (especially about the offset).

I am also considering Toyo T1R – I hear they are good – but any feedback. I am somewhat aggressive (but all relative) – went through the OEMs in only 25,000 miles.

Appreciate any thoughts – cheers.

go with 19's, 18 inch thruxtons look too small

 

Use one of the calculators above to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders?

 

Most upgrades I've seen are 8.5 front. T1R's are great tires for the price--good choice on those

 

I used this calculator to order my Rota's. I was going to get the thruxtons with Nitto 555's but opted for the Rota D2's with Toyo T1r's instead, the guys at subydude.com were really cool to deal with and answered all my questions... heres the calc
