Hey guys, im kinda new to the Z scene and was wondering if i could get some help. Im not sure about offsets and stuff like that, being that im just now getting into this kind of thing. I was wondering what specs i should get for my rims and tires. I want an aggressive look, but i dont want to stretch the tires or anything like that. Im going to buy som 19's once i decide on what i want. Also im gonna end up lowering it to the tires at least so i dont have a big gap and i want them to be even and not tucked under the car. I have seen a few cars that have a set up that i like. Im just not sure if the specs they have on there post are the only thing i need to take to the shop once i buy the rims. Any help would be appriciated.

 

Probably the most common setup on 19s seems to be 9½" front, 10½" rear with offsets around +22 (20 - 25).

If you see a particular setup, try PMing the owner and ask for the specs.

 

As Dave said, 19.9.5 with 19x10.5 +20-25 is common. Here is my old set of Volks that were 19x8.5 +22 and 19x9.5+22. 255/35 tires on the front with 275/35 tires on the rear, and as you can see, the car was lowered quite a bit on Tein coilovers. No tire stretch, pretty flush, and no rubbing. Sounds sort of like what you are looking for, so figured I'd post them up.

I am sure during the past 14 months that you have seen members set up that you like. Generally specs are listed. Just duplicate it.

 

Well i have been in Afghanistan and am just now about to be able to go home, so i figured id wait before asking. I also wasn't sure if the general specs listed were ALL that i needed to get set up, thats why i was asking. Thanks for the advice and the photos as well Scotts.

 

Most important is wheel size. Figure wheel size and offset and tires are easy.

 

Lookin good!

I also use the 8.5 / 9.5 setup with my 19"s. Most go for a wider front and back, but i prefer to keep it just right...not too wide, and not too skinny...
