Default When buying rims..

I have a 2003 Performance trim, I was told the rear wheel is bigger. If I wanted to get rims without new tires, do I have to order them special, or seperate? I see the term staggered, but I don't know how specific it has to be.

I hear all sorts of sizes for what mine is, like 18.75 and such... How should I go about this?

The rear wheels are a little wider than the fronts, but they are the same diameter all around. Depending on what tire size is on there right now determines how wide you can go w/o having to get new tires also.

When the rear wheel is wider than the front is called staggered fitment.

The term stagger can have several meanings:

a. Rear wheels are wider than front. Say:
Front - 8 inches
Rear - 9 inches

b. Rear wheel diameter is larger than front:
Front - 18 inches
Rear - 19 inches

Specifications for the OEM wheels can be found here: http://www.350zmotoring.com/modules....ex&name=Wheels.

you should get a reverse stag setup and clip a metal plate on the back of your Z to make those oldschool hotrod sparks!
