Bro you should really go use a tire calculator, 40 series plus 20inch wheels! Damn u really wNt ur car to look like a 4 wheeler lol... U should be looking at 30 and 25 series tires.... 35 wil still be too tall!

Remember u have 20 INCH wheels not 18's

Gl, make the right decision

There are plenty of people running 315 and others running even more. But there is allot more that goes into it then just saying im gonna put a huge tire on will it rub or not.

^^ agreed!! also what are the offsets on the rims? that will make a difference as well for deciding on your tire selection.

ok, sorry i asked the wrong question. Let's say, you got 19"s ... I wanted to know what is the widest rubber you can fit inside the Z's wheel well using the optimum offset and rim width that will be required to fit the rubber. Fenders rolled, street tyres. I'm just wondering if anyone has gone past 325's. lol.

On 19's it would prob be a little harder to fit that much tire.

i know its a longshot...but i figured i'd ask here! not sure if it'd be in the stretched thread but it seems like most of them are on coils.

thanks in advance!
Not on Sportlines, but 18x10.5 with 285/30 work in most cases. My 295/30s on them rubbed just a tad but nothing is rolled.

One can run a 295 or 305 up front as well. I think SSMZ33 ran a 315 up front after pulling the fenders.

Uber crappy pic, but 285 on front. Equally crappy job trying to obscure the plate.

looks to be about very close to stock height maybe an inch lower if that...

yet with 285 in the rear, those bad looks don't looks mean at all...
