Default I got 20 inch rims, what kind of tires should I get???

I'm planning to get Toyo Proxes 245/35-20 in the front and 275/30-20 in the rear. Any suggestions??? Should I go wider or thinner or is that cool???

You should probably stick with the stock sizes that the rims support.

Thats your opinion. There are lots of 350Z's out there with 20's and more than a few of them look sharp.

I've seen a 350Z with 20" Volks GT-C 9.5 F and 10.5 rears on +22. The guy is lowered with F 255/35/20 and R 285/30/20s. He is dropped with no fender gap!! Looks sick as hell.

i dont plan on tracking my car any time i own it. so ima pickin up some 20s too. the word "20s" is just set into people mind as "not racing" which is fine. even if i ever did track the car it would be one time ever. id rather have wheels that fill the gap than something that dosent.

dont feel like getting negative feedback from any haters. so this is just my 2 cents. no replys needed. <3
