^255/35 on the rear will prob. give him more stretch without drastically changing the diameter or width of contact.

I was actually running a 265/30/19 in the back before, but it made the rear way lower than the front. I chipped a piece of one of the sideskirts off getting out of Angry Panda's driveway.

Since I have 245/35/19 in the front, it didn't match. Now they match so I'm probably going to go with a tiny pull.

That's my only regret with the kit; it is way lower than the car is.

Oh and as far as the paint code, I don't even know it. My shop won't tell me...

I could use help. <---Z noob. I found nice 19" Mahdi Caesar TS5 Chrome Rims. I think their nice. but the Front - 19 x 8.0 (1.5 Inch lip) and -Back - 19 x 8.5 (3.5 Inch lip)..deepdish. Does anyone know if this will look good? i'm not sure i get it but i think i can put 245/35/19 on front and 275/35/19 on back.. or will the 275 fit. And is the back going to look not very staggered (i want staggered)? 8.5 wheels on the back seem small or maybe the 3.5 lip helps? Wish the back was a 10.. anyways let me know should i buy these! thanks

Did you find these on Craigslist?

Because they're 5 by 112 so it won't fit your Z's lug pattern.

On top of that, most guys in here are running 10.5+ wide in the back with single to negative offset. You would have to run negative one-billion to get an 8.5 to look anywhere flush on the rear of the Z.

In short, do not buy those for your Z. Have a good day.

^ Do you know the offsets of the Mahdi Caesars? If not, did they come off of a car or is that brand new? Damn, 35oZephyR beat me!

Here's my old setup before the nightmare of a body shop messed it up:







Pics are kinda small, but you can still see it's not even close to flush.

Those are 5Zigen SC3000 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 +25 all around. Not really aggressive.

I think the lip in the back was 2.8 inches, front was 2.

There probably is no color code for rubicant's car; more than likely its custom they must have added some magenta or pearl when mixing the paint..

265/30 perhaps? or 255/30
235/35-30 fronts
I say run 255/35 on the rears and 235/35 on the fronts. THEN, fix the camber and your car will be PERFECT.
