i think there is a sticky that explains what works on the Z. maybe another member has the link. if i was going 19 i would do a 9.5 F and 10.5 R or on my set up i have 9F 10R. Fyi if your going for looks 19(ok performance, unless boosted) the way to go with out a drop really but you can make 18's(performance, even with boost if you got wide enough 18's) look great with a proper drop.

I hope i was clear, kinda tired for niosa!

How about a little homework including:

OEM wheel and tire specs
How to use a offset calculator
Study what other members have done

Then you can return and ask intelligent questions.

if you can only afford 1200 wheels you cant afford FI...

our lug size is 114.3 soo no those wheels wont work.

19x9f 19x10r or 19x9.5f 19x10.5r with a offset of less then 30 the closer to 0 the better

For $1200 you can get some nice wheels( Enkei ), and for a grand you can get some nice Rota's. Both are a hell of a lot better than XXR.

If I were you I would strongly consider going with 9x18 fronts and 10x18 rears. 18" tires are much more pleantiful and a lot cheaper than 19" tires. Enkei has a 9x18 35mm offset 5x114.3 aluminum racing wheels called a RPF1 which is 18.4# weight and great for racing as they are very strong. You can use a 22mm spacer and bring the tire out to the edge of the fender.
For the rear we use a 10x18 38mm offset and use a 10mm spacer. I also suggest you replace all your wheel studs if you are going to do track days or race the car. I can give you additonal information if you email me at racerbob4@yahoo.com
