Was never a big fan of those because the spokes always stuck out past the rim but yours look hood. They don't seem to do that.. atleast at that angle.

 

Yeah the angle makes them look nice. They do stick passed the rim a little bit, which I HATE about them. But thanks man. HA

 

Yea I bought a set for my wrx and returned the because of that..

 

18's on a A5

 

Look pretty good on there..

 

So how many people in this thread actually have experienced cracked or busted rims for normal use? I have a car that has had sportmax for many years now with no issues. Mostly used in autox and hard driving. It would be nice to see some statistics for those saying these are not decent rims.

 

Looks okay, imo your car is too nice/VIP for XXRs, put some custom forged wheels on there.

 

Thread cleaned up and infractions handed out

 

new pics with more drop and better offset in the rear. A lil dirty but still pic worthy




20x9et 0 225/35
20x11et 10 255/35

 

looks alright.. 20s are just too big on a Z though.

 

Looks great. 20s are perfect on the z.

 

How big of spacers are you running? They are def different than mine but I ordered their most aggressive offsets.

 

OMG... I cant believe I just read this whole tread... too many numbers to remember.. I cant decide if i want the flat black 530s staggered or the black with chrome lip 521s staggered... i am sure i will go with the traditional 245/40/18 front and 275/40/18 rear. Btw, i have the 2004 silver ZR. I just dont want to deal with rolling the rear fender or spacers. Does the speacers add weight to the wheel? the 530s only weights 21lbs.. will the speacer throw it over 25lbs?? thank you everyone for all your information.

 

stick with the 530's if you are concerned about weight. If your fenders aren't rolled then there's really no point for spacers.

 

15mm up front and 5mm in the back... So now my offsets are 0 F and +10 R.

 

I guess ill be going with 526's in Chromium Black, 18x10.5 +20 all around on 265/40's all around. Any thoughts? Would a 35 sidewall be better or too much gap..

If im at stock height i wont need to roll or anything right? atleast till i can afford coilovers

 

Go with the 40s. 265/35 isn't much sidewall. And no those won't rub.

 

if you ever lower your z, you may need some front adjustable camber arms though.

 

Get coils first.

 

The reason for me getting wheels and tires over coils first is its time to replace the tires since they are useless as of now. I was planning on going with 40's thanks for confirming that, i may switch to 275replace instead of 265s due to them being easier to get and a little cheaper i guess 265 is a little bit of an uncommon size.

Thanks for all the help guys ill update when i get the setup, it will look ugly due to stock height but a drop and a little camber is planned for the near future. Hopefully little camver is needed since i think the 275'shelp or 265's will be a little stretched.

Thanks again!
