These are beautiful/classic wheels. Great choice. Go with 255/35 & 285/35 for tire sizes. 245/275 is too narrow, and is the OLD standard. Work S1's should have a second valvestem on the inside of the barrel. You can prob have the sensors mounted there.

I will definitely post pics up. I also looked at my rims and they only have one hole for the valve stem. Lol i just got back from Chanell view Texas. I think its spelled something close to that. Pretty close to Houston.

I agree with upsizing to 255/35 and 285/35. I did it on my 9.5 / 10.5 staggered setup and it looks and drives great. 255's in the front will absorb some bumps better (not much but it's something..), and 285's in the rear will fill your wheels wells out better if nothing else.

Great looking set of wheels - what color is the Z?

I wish i would have looked around more on tire size before i ordered them. Will that be a problem for my car with the tire size that i got? My car is chrome silver.

285/35 rear will be higher, about half an inch bigger than the front one. Analize this. Good luck!

you can still mount TMPS without a second valve stem hole
not a big fan personally of the 'OG' wheel look on our cars, but it should turn out really nice against your car color, glad to hear you finally got what you've wanted for 3 years!

Lol. Yeah thats Channelview. It's basically in Houston.

Houston is so big you can drive an hour away from Houston and still be designated as being in Houston.
