New Wheels and Tires
Hey all im new to the forums but ive had my z since 6/07 and got her with only 24500 miles on her. Shes an 03 Black 6 spd base model now with about 52k miles. The only thing ive done to her beside Royal Purple Synthetic motor oil every 5 k miles and occasional seafoam to clean the injecters were some new rims and tires about 25k miles ago (they were new 17in i know way too small). Now that they are wearing thin (the back ones at least probbaly from burnin em) I've decided to go big and staggered but im not sure which route go.
Should I get 19X9.5 5-114.3 25MCB on the back with 18x8.5 in the front ?

Is discount tire a good place to go? The only reason is because I have a friend who works there that says he can get me a discount.
Thanks for the help and please gimme an idea of what could be better...I was also thinking of getting blacked out rims...
I also plan to put a turbo in her later this summer/fall

My advice...forget everything your thinking because almost all of it is premeditated fail, and do a search within this section for "wheels". you'll find the search options on the top right hand side above the thread lists.
Spend a few weeks reading EVERY thread that comes up in your spare time and hopefully in 2 weeks you will slap yourself for ever considering what you have said above.
Welcome to the forum, and good luck.
EDIT: P.S. You rim sizes are ok but you'll see that if you'd like, you can go wider, esp if your getting a turbo.

I just looked through some old posts and new ones....why is that some people actually help other people when they post questions or ask for advice and some of you just spent the time telling me how much I will fail when you coulda just told me what you rollin on or some quick advice.
