So I have 5zigen sc3000 wheels on the Z I got about 6-8 months ago. They are 19x8.5 with 245's front and 19x9.5 with 275 rear. I dropped it on Tanabe NF210 springs for now. Thats all the money I had at the time. I wanna go for the flushed look but with these wheels for the time being what are my options? I was thinking of going wider tires something like 295+ with rolled fenders or I was told to just get spacers on when I order my Kw Varaint 2 coilovers some time this year. What should I do? I wont have any Volks or BBS wheels for a while so I want to do something with these for the time being. Here's a pic of the wheels on the Z with the drop.

For the widths you have, those tire sizes are fine. If you want to have a more flush look your best/cheapest option is spacers.

 

If your wheel isnt flush how can a tire possibly make it flush?

 

On 8½" wheel, the largest is a 255. On 9½" wheel, largest is a 285.

 

265 on an 8.5, 285 on a 9.5 are the maximum recommended widths for street use. If they fit will depend on the wheel OFFSET. Read up on it.

 

like said above you shouldn't go much wider than the tires you have on there now. i would get some spacers and call it a day.

 

OP, looks like those tires on your car have plenty of tread on them. Why not lose the stock antenna, tint the windows, & possibly change out the stock exhaust, this would be $$$ more wisely spent, IMO.

 

Yeh I want to get the s2k antenna and retint the windows cuz thats how I bought the car at the dealership. Thats also not a stock exhaust. Its a magnaflow cat back system with high flow cats. lol

 

Alright sounds like a plan. I'm just waiting to save couple more paychecks so I can get my KW coilovers on and then I'll add spacers at the same time and see how it turns out. Thanks

 

here's an idea.. drop it first..then measure to see what size spacers you will need

 

i got 245 in front and 275 in back im dropped on springs all around about an inch to inch and a half i have 20mm spacers on front and 25mm spacers on back too fits just fine i still have room to go wider

 

what's your camber on all four corners and what offsets were your wheels originally?
