Wheel fitment question VS-XXs
I'm looking at picking up new wheels and I'm kinda looking for the end-all setup.. Anyway here goes:
I was looking at Work VS-XX Burning black wheels, and I was wondering how this setup would look:
Front:
255/35/R19
19x9.5
+19 offset
Rear:
285/30/R20
20x11.5/12?
+17 offset
Basically, I'm looking for a very very agressive setup, and I'm wondering how the size difference will look, with a slightly smaller wheel in the back. Honestly, I'd like to go with a slightly smaller size like:
Front:
255/40/r18
18x9.5
+19 offset
Rear:
285/35/r19
19x11.5
+17 offset
How would that look? Anyone got any pics?

Not quite what I'm looking for, what would be a good size of tire to run on it? I'm not really into the whole "VIP" look or anything like that.
What sizes would be more appropriate for wheel sizes and offsets of what I'm looking at? I like meat on my tires.

In addition, I'm really leaning for the 18-19 combo, so my car dosen't look like it has toy wheels. Unless someone can show me pics where the wheels don't just look stupidly big...

Not really, I came from an Acura RSX with 245/35/r18's. I've always been a FWD driver, and got incredibly tired of wheel hop. I do intend to make power in the future, and rather then buy several sets of wheels, I'd rather pick up one set and be done with it.
In addition, not having any damn wheelhop is the most wonderful thing ever.

Tell me a secret... you have no idea what your doing, do you.
What kind of meat do you like on your tire..... I like meat tires too.

For some reason members are ashamed of driving a all motor 350Z. So they do the gonnaget excuse.

Meh, I was intending to turbo and do a bit of work to my Acura RSX, and no doubt they are very quick, I just couldn't get over how bad the wheelhop would get no matter what, and you can't exactly put monster tires on the front.
knguyen what are your offsets on that? If I go 11.5 in the rear I think 295's would be fine...

Those look about right, I think I was pretty off for what I was looking for, lol.
See, what would I do without my350z?
Should I run upwards of 345 on the rear?

305 or 315 is about all your going to fit on a Z without going widebody. Any more positive on the offset and your tire is going to hit the shock. Anymore negative and your going to hit the quarter panel lip eveen if it's fully rolled.
Roncpfz has a 315 on the back of his Z. I don't know what his wheel width and offset are. Maybe contact him by PM.
I'm thinking a 10.5 +30 migth be a good size/offset.
