3rd wheel is best IMO, still 20's will be heavy.

Well if your going to run anything like 10" rear 275's are the minimum you'll want on those, 265 is to short and narrow.

I still think 20 is too big on a Z.. If it's for show, I think 19 is perfect. 20 is just too much blink and so little meat.

my factory fronts are 225 so 245 is widder
my factory rears are 245 so 265 is widder


i think that if you want you r z to look like a carrera with 10 wide wheel in the back and a very wide tire then i can respect that

although i do not like the way it looks


i might disagree with what your opinion is in referance to what is the correct size

what is the correct size is what the factory designed and used for the car
18x8 f 225
18x8.5 r 245

now we discuss aftermarket so to deviate from factory spec is incorrect in itself


what is the correct size for my car is the size i want

what is the correct size for you is what you want



tires are gonna be what i posted

my question was more about the wheels

20 x 8 f or 20 x9 r

20x8.5 f or 20 x9.5 r



i would like something in staggered
20"
8.5 & 9.5
8 & 9

lip good

satin or chrome


a racing wheel light weight would be good


a wheel that has the correct offset so i can lower car and not rub


can you help with my wheel question

tires i am set

I'm excited about these. Some people don't like them however. I need to lower about 3/4 inch. Actually they really come out at dusk and at night, and I've been told they are the best looking wheels seen. They're Japanese triple chrome.
