hey Folks... i have recently bought an 06 GT ed black 350z and i want to put this baby on some SUPER hot rims! i been looking and looking and found these SICK AXIS that i want to buy, they are 19" AXIS PENTA's and i wan them in 19 , hyper black with chrome lip.... but i found and AMAZING deal on some 20's with 255/35/20 front and 285/35/20 rear... and i dont know if they will RUB!.... will 20'S with that profile fir the 350Z easy with no rubbing or will i have a probelm with that big of a size!.... i got stock 18's right now with the GT rim edition and would hate to pay over 2g's for just one inch bigger wheels.... ANY ADVICE WILL BE HELPFUL!!!!! PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THESE 20's WILL FIt... and its a 5x114.3 for the off set i assume.... thanks!

 

...... im also considering same wheel type (AXIS) only in 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear.... how does that sound?

 

You have several choices:

a. Spend time learning about wheel diameter, appropriate tire size, bolt pattern and offset.

b. Find a 350Z with wheels that you like. Duplicate the owners set-up.

 

^ +1

And remember size doesnt matter . These are wheels on a Z we are talking about, weight should be your worry. Keep it 18'' or 19''.

 

You like em, get em.
Make your ride your own.
Most people on here will tell
you that 20's don't belong on a Z.
They will tell you that chrome does
not go well with a Z, etc.
Bottom line, do what makes you happy.
I have 19's Axis Shine's.
Everyone loves them on the streets,
I get asked about them on a daily basis.

 

you can always roll your fenders

 

yeah i think 20's are way too big... and davidv i have been studying and reading z forums and finally have decided to get some wheels.... but im getting 19's and i just didnt know if 8.5 front and 9.5 rear is a good set up... i always wanted 9.5 front and 10.5 rear...... but yeah i agree with most... this is my car and i do what i want with it i just didnt know if 19's or 20's... but i think 19's are way more apropriate... thanks Z folks!! =)

 

9.5 front and 10.5 rear is a popular set-up. Check members photos with specifications.

 

^^^ thanks david... thats exactly the set up that i will go with!.... =)

 

I have the Axis Penta 20x9 and 20x10 setup on my '06 Z and it looks sick. There isn't one person that doesn't like the way it looks. GO BIG OR GO HOME!!!!

 

^^^ sweet! thats exactly what i been looking for cause i called them and was trying to see if they make the patenza's in 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rear and its no way... so yeah i was disappointed and i seen how 8.5 look and not to big of a fan...

 

I have 20 Thruxtons No rubbing or rolling of fenders and the ride is sweet.

I have 20 8.5 in the front with 20/245/35, Rear 20x 10.5 with 285/20/30. I think you can even go 295 but the tire is rare.

 

I think him asking the question here in the open forum meets your requirements for (a) below. I know people should use the search function, but it gets even more irritating to see everyone here with a pompous attitude like they built the car themselves from aluminum cans beating people up over asking a question.

And another note, posting *** comments like these are even more useless than saying nothing.
