just a quik question, because like i said earlier in the thread i really do plan on going this route wit my Z now as before i wanted to do an LS2 swap but nahhh,,.anyways i bought my Z with some 20's on and it wasnt my style to be on dubs and a really big deal for me was the weight of the 20s if anything thats prbly the main reason i sold them and got sum stock 18s, anyways back to the question, FOR YOU GUYS WITH REALLY MEAN OFFSETS AND HUGE LIPS; DO YOUR RIMS WEIGH ALOT? OR ARE/IS THERE SUCH THINGS AS HAVING A BIG LIP ON RIMS AND STILL BEING LIGHT AT THE SAMETIME, AND ROYAL-T CAN U PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION TOO ON YOUR DPE'S (SINCE I'M REALLY CONSIDERING THOSE RIMS)
well my DPEs don't weigh alot I would say 24lbs or less. Go with DPEs you wont be disappointed with them trust me..

in this picture I was running
245/35/20 +7 in the fronts with -1.8 camber
275/30/20 +0 in the rear with -3.5 camber
Fronts were perfect except on mild bumps i would rub this little part of the frame. But that was because I had 35 series tires on the 20" rim. With 19's you'll be fine.
in this picture I was running
235/30/20 -3 fronts with same camber
275/30/20 +0 rear with same camber
IMHO I think a 30 series tire seems way too thin. Scared to ride on bumpy roads because of my higher risk of getting my tire slashed/damaged somehow. If I had to do it again, I would go with the 245/35/20 again. I would have done more stretch in the rear but since I have the Vortech, I need more rubber to the ground.
Anyhow, what were the widths of the wheels in the last setup you posted?

Well it all depends on your camber and toe. I have not gotten an alignment but I would say I was at around -5 or -6 degree of camber. Had to change out my rears in 7months. Fronts were good for another 7months or so.. Also you can just flip your tires and get another 7months out of them..
