i think stretched and aggressive and fat and aggressive are both aggressive lol. I love both setups if done right.

I'm doing the same offset, same wheels, same size tires but with /35 in the rear and around that height, maybe lower depending on my area. I can't wait.

And don't mind Nexx, he just likes to argue with everybody.

wow i didnt know 19x10.5 -/+0 with 275/35 can actually work with just a fender roll and minor camber. Be sure to post pics of yours when you get it done. Im really wanting to go with those setups.

Yeah man, it looks beautiful. It is my favorite setup. Didn't you have 9.5/10.5 +0 or something with really stretched tires? I loved your stance, but your tires weren't meaty enough. I'm going to get the rear fender rolled and get coils/+0/245/275/35 and maybe run -2 to -4 camber at the most. I don't want to run anything too slanted cause it starts looking ridiculous imo lol. Won't be as low as your car though man, your **** is slammed!

Don't hold your breath on my setup, it's going to take a while cause the funds are low lol. I don't have cash to drop on coils, wheels, tires, mounting, alignment all at once, I have to sell my kidney first.

yea i had -/+0 with 245/35 and thats why im so puzzled as to how this works without major pull or camber. This is me with the -/+0, kinda tight already imo lol

Yeah, that definitely is tight, but don't forget you are really low. The Blue Z is pretty low, but he has a little gap, you are almost tucking rim lol.

And also, you have the real Volks, the blue Z has the Varrs, the Volk's offset might be a little different from the Varrs. Weird, but I think the Varrs offset are less aggressive than Volk offsets. You at +0 is more aggressive than Varrs at +0. Maybe I'm crazy, but that is what I think cause your car looks more aggressive. Or simply the fact that you are really slammed lol.

^haha you shoulda seen my car last week, i really was tucking rims lol. Anyway i dont think it has to do with volks being different than varrs in terms of fitment with similar offsets. Probably just the height difference.

like i said let us know how it works out for you, interested to see this

the Varrs to be had for about $1200 (not sure what size)
I got a set of 19" Falken 452 for about $650 from discounttiredirect delivered.
if the varrs are 19 then thats $1850 (which is under your budget)
If the varrs are 18" then the tires would be cheaper and even more under your budget.

You can do a nice 19" set up for $2000 from Wheeldude. (I went with 19" P45Rs 9"F & 10"R / 225 & 245/35 Falkens mounted & balanced TPMS installed and semi-aggressive +20 off-set for $2K).

The Blue Z with the smoked headlights is in the first page. If this was a 20-30 page thread, I'd understand, but seriously, search through the first page to find the specs lol.

no sure why most of you are telling this guy he doesnt have a chance with his budget.. my advice would be to give yourself more options.. mayble all black , or even silver look really good on Zs.. and maybe 18s.. and just keep checking the private classifieds for a deal to pop up.

or if you dont want to wait pick up some enkei rf1s.. lightweight and can find a wheel/tire combo deal under $2000 with nice offsets..

I wouldnt go below +12 offsets though if you enjoy driving you're car.. \ its a nice look but just absoutely retarded to drive on those offsets with super negative camber and thin tires tires like nexx said.

Can you please be specific? How is it absolutely retarded? I had low offset/wide wheels on my WRX. The steering wheel might be a little jittery and kind of shake, but the actual ride isn't "retarded" lol.

JDM555, Do you know the lowest offset you can run before having to roll your fenders? I'm guessing above +12 and below +22

i was on the same budget last week haha and they are right, you def are not gonna buy any of the baller wheels on that budget (volk, work, gram lights, etc) which are the best wheels for the aggresive look.....i searched and searched for wheels and was going to go with the 19x8.5 19x10 Linea corse Dynas from wheeldude.com ( https://my350z.com/forum/media-share...yna-shoot.html )
but they are on back order and i REALLY wanted wheels now, so i found this company called Vossen. thanks to elementmotorsports.com and i picked out the VVS082's (pic below) and they do have black face wheels with chrome lips for around your budget, rims and tires mine was around 2300. i bought tires from a different site tho, wheels were 1600 alone, good price tho imo. 19x8.5 19x10 38 offset i believe. like a 4" lip

I'm sorry, but I don't know. It would differ dramatically at how low you are, what suspension, what size tires, how much negative camber, etc. For me, since I'm on GF210's and want to go 275/35 on 19x9.5/10.5 +/- 0, then yes I'll rub, on turns and bumps for sure. Got to get the rears rolled asap.

Agressive is what you make it. You can meet that budget easy. I bought a set of ADvan RGII's for 1600 with rubberband tires(before they were "hellaawesome"). So search. zilva.net other sites. And yea you have to pay to play but dont get caught up spending 3-4k on rims and tires.

If you car is a show queen that ultra aggressive is awesome. If its a DD look for something that gets the point across. Unless you want to buy a dd(5-10k for a nice one) or be fixing **** every other week.

My nickle.
