Default Few tire questions, I dont quite understand

Ok, so I am about to pick up another Z and I wanna pick up some volks that are 19X9.5 ET22 19X10.5 ET22, if I were to put some T1R's on them, they are not going to look too fat in the back since they are 10.5 will they? Also they will not affect my VDC/TCS system will they like I have heard about?

But being as the thread above you so intelligently pointed out for me, I HAVE ALERADY READY NUMEROUS TIMES, it doesnt help me much with my QUESTION.

Maby my question was not quite worded correctly, let me try and analyze it quickly.

"Ok, so I am about to pick up another Z and I wanna pick up some volks that are 19X9.5 ET22 19X10.5 ET22, if I were to put some T1R's on them, they are not going to look too fat in the back since they are 10.5 will they? Also they will not affect my VDC/TCS system will they like I have heard about?"

First part: IM GETTING ANOTHER Z

SECOND: IM GETTING VOLK RIMS

Third: (AND FIRST QUESTION) IF I HAVE 9.5's in the front and 10.5 in the back I have read people think they look too FAT in the back with STOCK FENDERS. IS THIS a TRUE thing does it look goofy!?

FOURTH: Based on these stats which ive seen are QUITE COMMON the 9.5 front 10.5 in back what is the BEST TIRES to put on them for LOOKS/TRACTION just allaround i dont want super huge and i dont want thin as a piece of paper. What's a good tire size.


But I am really glad you chimed into my thread and were so quick to make a 'crafty' response before reading the actual post. Thanks again though.

For every wheel and tire there's a high and low range for proper fitment. I would not go any narrower than 275/35/19s on a 10.5. Even at 275 the tire looks a bit stretched. Ideally 285/35/19s will have the sidewalls sit flush against the edge of the rim. As for it looking too fat, well what else do you expect from a 10.5" wheel. If you don't like that look go with a narrower rear wheel.

OK...I'll help. But first..

1) Are you going to lower your car?

2) If so how much?

3) https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....hlight=19x10.5

4) https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....hlight=19x10.5

5) https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....hlight=19x10.5

6) If those dont help type in the SEARCH function "rear 10.5" there are 25 pages of help.

You will then probably wonder about rolling vs. cutting your fenders:
once again use the SEARCH function and type in "rolling cutting"...lots of pages for that.

Then for cleaning those volks:
This time go to the cleaning section, type in the SEARCH function "wheels" or "volks" (this one was by far the easiest)


Now go have a beer on me
