width matters. but your probably lookin at 30 or 35...

what width are you running?

275/30/19 and 245/30/19 is the standard sizes I believe, but your rims might not match that.

I will probably run 255 in the rear with 245 in the front. Is there any way that 45 series will fit? I really dont' want to go to 30's to avoid the ride problem.

Thanks for your input.

ummm no, not even close, if you didnt want a short sidwall, you got the wrong size rims.

19" rims are 12mm taller than stock, 12mm less sidewall, means about 102mm of sidewall is needed to maintain near stock size.

tho with 255, you can use a 40 series, 275 comes closer to 35series. but its all the same sidewall. I was wrong its 35 not 30 thats standard.

255/40/19, 245/40/19 would be best.

the rims that you picked are copy-cats of the volks. i do not think that the offset of those rims will properly fit a 350z and you might have to use spacers. also the bolt pattern is 5x114.3. those are nice rims you picked, but if you want higher quality and a perfect fit for the z, go with volks

Thanks very much for your feedback. The only reason I choose these wheels is b/c I really like the look and they are free. The other choice are 5zigen hyper 5zr's 18" $1,400. Nopi Street Performance Compact is doing a feature article on the buildup. Would I be better off paying $ and going for the 5Zigen's 5ZR's????

Thanks for all your input.

On the Icon's, is it bad to use spacers also what do you mean they would not fit properly??
