Well im thinking of doing
18 up front and 19 in the rear.

I'd like to see what you guys think.

Thanks

 

why?

 

i donno ...
it just popped into my head tonight lol

i was either think
18 front 19 rear
or
19 front and 20 in the rear


but all my friends have said stick to once size and
i wanted to know what some of you guys thought about this set up

 

i would stay same size, imo.

 

do it.....just make sure the tires are in spec

 

the 2006 350z Rays wheels are 18s in the front and 19s in the rear.
some people on here have done this setup.

 

I dont think its a good idea at all. It doesn't look good and it doesn't improve handling.

 

You can put 18-inch wheels in front and 19 in back.
Hell if you want you can put 20-inch wheels in front and 17 in back.
Are you going to talk about it or do it!

 

On some cars, in some photos, with some wheels....the rear wheels appear to me as though they are smaller than the front wheels, when in fact the fronts and rears are the same diameter. I think the optical illusion is generated from the massive ***-end of the Z compared to the relatively 'skinny' front end when viewing the car's profile. So in that case, having an 18" front and 19" rear diameter will solve that optical illusion problem.

I don't see any reason not to do it. As one person mentioned the OEM Rays track/GT wheels for 2006 are staggered as such. Make sure you select tires such that the tire OD's are as close as possible to the OEM sizes.

Most people on here with aftermarket wheels have wider wheels in the rear, requiring wider tires accordingly. Therefore they have to buy two different tire sizes. In the typical case they are buying 2#5/##/18's both front and rear, but in your case you will buy 2#5/##/18 front and 2#5/##/19 rears. I don't see a problem, other than you will pay a bit more for 19" than 18" tires.

Go for it, be different, post pictures!

 

Isn't that typical 'Vette set-up- 18s front, 19s rear..?

 

c5's had 17's front 18's rear, this I know for a fact as I had one. The c6 does the 18 front 19 rear I believe.

 

I should be ordering my wheels here in a month or 2.

I might do the 18 and 19
or i might just go all around 19's

Wheels im thinkin of getting
Volk Sf-Challanges
Volk LE37T
Work Meister S1
Volk GT-S

one of those set of wheels will go on my car.

 

it might be advantageous to do this in a region where there are a lot of potholes or horrible roads.. The 18's give a little more meat to protect the rim where it needs it most--in front.
