may you post your car
would like to see your rims and tires
it will let me know your taste
thanks

look i was asking about help with rims not tires
you completely overlloked the question and offered me no help
you are picking apart my tire size because you feel a 265 is just so much smaller than 275
i do not like such a wide tire
how about trying to help me with a rim choice
you seem to know what you want, and you dont like anybody saying anything other than what you have your minde set on, so what are you really asking.
are you just looking for us to agree with you and make you feel better?
most of those rims belong on a chrystler 300c.
only the HRE and I-forgded woudl look right on a sports car.

not looking for anyone to validate me
not looking for anyone to pick my rims
i feel great and a forum of strangers saying nice wheels does not make me feel better emotionally
i am sure some people need that though
looking for any suggestions on a set of wheels
20"
either 8 or 8.5 front
either 9 or 9.5 rear
with tires that are 245/30/20 front
and 265/30/20 rear
satin or chrome
prefer no wheel spacers
preferably lite weight
also keeping in mind i want to lower car 1" or 1.5" and not rub so offset should be right
so since i am pretty well versed and have been playing the wheel game for 20 years , and the car mod game for 20 years i know what spec i want to stay in
i provided all the needed info for an eductaed suggestion
so i don't really want to change my specs , because someone feels it is not their preferance , i want the wheelssuggestions with in my specs
if anyone is willing to help
this post went the wrong way
before i came to the thread i looked at the gallery
just not digging the wheels , sorry if that rubs anyone wrong
just my honest opinion
i thought that with the specs i provided that someone could point me in the right direction

thanks Dave
you could put a 295/25/20 on a 20 x 10 wheel on the back of a z
the low profile of the side wall i love
the width of the tire makes me barf
i do realize that most on the forum would like 9 up front 10 out back with as wide a tire that can fit without rubbing
i respect that
but lets all have our own style , sometimes i lead , sometimes i walk along side , very rarely do i follow
so beacuse most say 10 out back and 275 i aint following
car might drive better and hood up better with 275 & 10 but i am not likeing it
thanks for helping me
forget about the wheels i posted
those i found
can anyone find wheels that fit my specs to give me ideas
appreciated
being new with this z
it took me about 10 minutes to narrow it down

see dave we can play nicely
i narrowed it down 2
either
Blitz Techno Z1 19" cause they don't make 20"
or
Volk GTM 19" cause they dont make 20"
basically the wheels look kinda the same
are offsets on these wheels gonna work without spacers and without rubbing
does anyone on this forum have these wheels that you know of
wondering if i can buy these wheels or do they need to be made
Dave thanks for assisting me

As for who has these wheels on their Z on here I am not sure. As for availability I would give Rick@Status a call or pm about it. You definately wont need spacers with them and as long as you have the correct offset you wont have any rubbing withe correct offset.

is our bolt pattern 5x144.3
glad no one has the wheels on the site
i would not want to be un-original
i assume both wheels are considered light weight
tires will be pirelli 245-30-19 up front
pirelli 265-30-19 out back
also want to lower 1-1.5 inch
if i go blitz 19x8 front 19x9 rear
if i go Volk gtm 19x8.5 front 19x9.5 rear
what offsets do i need to stay in as to not rub and not use spacers
Front offset ?
Rear Offset ?

Offsets should be around +22 to +24 or so on both front and rear.
I know the Volks will definately be considered lightweight. Glad to help.

anyway, your taste sucks, please do me the favor of selling the Z and buying a civic, or a used Jaguar etype. have fun blinging it out.
