The 19s only have the 19x8.75 and 19x10.75 option on 15+ or 35+ offset. The 18s have 18x7.5, x8.75, and x9.75 with a 20+, 25+, and 33+ offset. I havent seen anyone with 19" 530s? Ive seen 18s but not 19s. Ive searched and searched but nothin. Not sure if im looking in the wrong places but idk?

Why 19? I hate 19s. Everything is more expensive and more difficult to find a tire In a emergency situation. Go for the 18x9.75x4.

Two pages back...member Cjw4050 has them in the exact specs you are looking for. The post was literally one page before your initial post -_-

He also has some pics up from his new mint wrap that showcase the wheels in direct sunlight. I'll post a link in a second.

Because almost everyone has 18's that and I've always had 19s. Ive never really had problems buying tires. Yeah its a little more pricey but oh well lol

I would stick with 275/40 in the rear. 285/40 is taller than an OEM tire.

Default New here, Not focused on XXR but just general questions on sizing.

Besides the typical bash fest on XXR. I want XXR 526s. If you can tell me a "real" brand of this exact rim thats under 500$ a rim ill get it. Otherwise dont come here. I only want looks, not performance.

Now ive tried reading stickies but im new to zs and so i have no idea what this **** means.just picked up a 07 350z.

my first question is. im wanting to buy 18/9+25 and 18/10.5+20. I dont want tucked under the fenders **** with negative camber and i dont want a baja truck with tires that stick out 4 inches. i just want it even like imports used to do before neg camber and hella flush came into play. so will this size do that or will i need spacers? Ive tried using willthesefit.com but i dont understand anything on there.

next question. what tire sizes do i need? ive already said even so i dont want tires that look like they wont stay or or are monster truck tires. i just want them even and correctly fitting on my rims. so is that 235/40(im going with 40 height) and 275/40? Im thinking of hancook v4s cause i heard they last a while and i need long lasting as itll be a commuter car.

next question, what is this vdc ****. never heard of it before and the sticky implies nothing of what it is. so im assuming itll affect me so wtf do i do.

next question, im a bike fanatic now so i dont know much about tires but is there something longer lasting than the v4s?

next question, is there a place that sells these rims plus these tires and not charge out the ***. like 1500$...

next question, most places i look say 5x120. ive researched and found 350z being 5x114.3 so im assuming 5x120 wont fit?

next question, im getting the s-type tien springs, will these lower the car enough onto these rims that it looks nice but not bottomed the **** out?

sorry for the ten million questions. im sure ill have more. i just havent been in the car scene for about 7 years so im getting them all out at once. Thanks!

Can you edit this so it isn't a wall of text and has an itemized list of questions? I'll help you then, but I'm not deciphering this and hurting my eyes

5x120 won't fit.
The tiens, they drop the car very little. Many folks end up wanting too drop their car more. But you don't have to mess with camber.
I'm running 245/40/18 9.5w and 275/40/18 10.5w on +12 and +15. Tires are continental extreme contact dws. I enjoy them, they've lasted a long time. Quite a bit of road noise. They are meaty and sit flush. Idk if the +22 will clear your bakes, some one that knows more than I do will chime in on if it clears. I always get offsets messed up.
Google vdc, it can explain it better than I can.

Here some info on the 19" xxr 530's if you guys have any questions

I am running 19x8.75 +15mm in the fronts 255/35 tires

Rears: 19x10.75 +15mm 285/35 tires

I am running a slight stretch on the rears, so if you don't like that look I suggest at least a 295.

Also** I am running stock suspension but the rears will need a roll! I have my rear fenders rolled on my car.

I appreciate your help as far as the offset goes. it doesnt let me pick any other offset besides going more positive on the front and back, which wont help me if the 25 wont clear on the front or the 20 wont clear on the back. is there a place i can order the rims and tires? for the cheapest price anyways.

Do yall buy the TPMS sensors for your wheels or do yall just go without and disable the sensor? carid.com says the 526 rims wont fit my 07 enthusiast 350z, but says the 531 rim do, so im looking at sizes of 18x8.5 +20 and 18x9.5 +20 in the right bolt pattern, and with some achilles atr sport tires(also heard long lasting) and the orotek sensors installed and everything balanced and ready to mount for 1505 with free shipping.

will the sensors be auto detected? or will i have to get them set up?

the tires i had to order to get 40s all around were 245/40/18 and 275/40/18 will the 245 fit the 8.5 front rim or will that be way to big? i feel as though it will be.

You may want a 10-15 mm spacer for the front to make it completely flush. It will be determined by your perception and exactly how flush you want it to be.
next question. what tire sizes do i need? ive already said even so i dont want tires that look like they wont stay or or are monster truck tires. i just want them even and correctly fitting on my rims. so is that 235/40(im going with 40 height) and 275/40?

Your tire sizes are pretty accurate for the widths. I'd agree with using those sizes. Might be able to get away with 245 up front without having the "Baja" Truck look.
next question, what is this vdc ****. never heard of it before and the sticky implies nothing of what it is. so im assuming itll affect me so wtf do i do.
Google and the stickied threads can explain this. You shouldn't have to worry about it as long as you get the tire sizes previously mentioned.
next question, im a bike fanatic now so i dont know much about tires but is there something longer lasting than the v4s?
Popular tires include: Hankook Ventus V12, Sumitomo HTR III, Falken F1 and a few other. I don't have a wealth of knowledge on different tires.
next question, is there a place that sells these rims plus these tires and not charge out the ***. like 1500$...
Just keep looking around to find the best deal.
next question, most places i look say 5x120. ive researched and found 350z being 5x114.3 so im assuming 5x120 wont fit?
Nope. Completely different sizes and it won't go onto the wheel studs. Kind of like putting a square into a round hole. Just doesn't work.
next question, im getting the s-type tien springs, will these lower the car enough onto these rims that it looks nice but not bottomed the **** out?
Look for pictures of Zs lowered on Tein S springs. It is a very mild drop so you won't have a problem with bottoming out I presume. However, you may want to go lower. Look at pictures to see if you like the drop of not.

Hope this helps

I've been thinking about trying out some XXR 527's as a budget wheel to feel out what I like and don't like on the car.

18x9.75 +20 all the way around square. I've seen a couple of photos here and there with the same setup on a few Z's. I'm still at a tossup for tire sizes. I was at first thinking of doing a square tire setup (perhaps 255/40-18) but now I'm thinking 235/40-18 in front and 255/40-18 in the rear (this seems to be pretty popular from what I've seen on these wheels).

Any input? Just feeling it out.

So the 536's are only go up to 17's. No 18's nor 19's?

Default Just need confirmation on wheel fitment

Hey guys - I'm new here and did a ton of research on this forum regarding wheels, and just wanted to get confirmation that I would not have issues with the setup I decided on. In doing this research, I read through the vast range of emotions regarding XXR wheels, so I would respectfully ask for no comments on my wheel choice, but just on whether I would have any fitment issues. Thanks in advance for that

Car: 2007 350Z Touring, all stock for now, but will be getting the Eibach Pro Kit with a 1" drop soon.
Wheels in question: XXR 530s - F: 18x8.75 +20 wrapped in 245/40 rubber, R: 18x9.75 +20 wrapped in 275/40 rubber

According to an offset calculator, I won't lose any significant strut housing clearance, but the front wheels will stick out about 2cm more than stock and the rears will stick out about 3cm more than stock. Will this cause any rubbing assuming a 1" drop? Will fenders need to be rolled? Finally, I'll be taking the car to the track this season; is there any reason this setup would not be suited for track driving? Thanks!!

^^ The wheels you ask about have a very conservative offset and size. I doubt that you will rub even with a 1" drop.

Awesome, thanks. I've actually done some more reading about choosing tire sizes from a performance perspective and it looks like a lot of guys that do occasional track days recommend the same size wheels on all 4 corners, supposedly due to the fact that the 350z tends to understeer. Is there a rule of thumb as far as the optimal tire width (assuming the diameter is 18") to maximize balance and handling? I want the car to look good, but I certainly don't want to sacrifice how it handles. Maybe having 255/40 tires on the front would be better.. any thoughts on this?
