Hi. I have an 04 Z convertible I cracked my rear left rim a while back and just noticed it recently, so I have some niche tango 245 35 20 8.5 +34 offset from my 07 cadillac cts, Check the on the net and found that they where both 114.3 so i put them on. my question is will this cause a problem in the long run since they are not a staggered set up any knowledgeable in site will be appreciated. seem to run ok just need to get some hub rings probably tomorrow, I also just received my brakes and rotors also lower ball joint will try to put that on tomorrow thanks in advance its been away since i posted.

UPDATE
So i went to my friends shop on thursday to put on the new parts and though I'll wait a few days to report to see how things feel, Installed new ball joints $60.00 , new rotors and brake from brakemotive $180 from ebay, hub rings on all four tires $40 and a wash and vacum its been a while and. Im glad to report brakes work fine hight speed low speed stops good and quick thus far car runs good. No lights coming on due to square set up. Here are better pics.

 

Have to see pictures of your niche tangos now.

 

What are the other 3 rims?

Tango down.

 

the original rims are 17" 7 spokes

 

Sorry, but No...

Chrome wheels with a pattern that is meant for more flashy vehicles does not work on the Z...might have looked good on the Caddy, but I doubt that too

Plus, I bet those wheel are extremely heavy and since they are 20's, slow your acceleration down greatly!

Invest in a lightweight sporty wheel setup (Volk, Work, HRE, Enkei, Etc...)

 

I'm really not too interested in how fast it goes and honestly they look preatty good to me what im really interested in knowing from someone with experience in this department is if the setup can work without any damaging affects, specially since i just want to keep the vehicle running safe since its my everyday car not looking to spend money on wheels, coment is appreciated though. actually the vehicle handles better with this rims than with the stock 17" less bounce over bumps weird.

 

that shiit is ugly

 

Works for me. Any problem with VDC, TCS or SLIP?

 

I felt the same way I dont think it looks that crazy I've seen worst out there believe me, plus they are with out the black inserts. really would like some input on someone with knowledge on this matter about running this set on a permanent basis with not damage to car or tires, also later on today i would let you guys now about how the new lower ball joints that I will install and the brakes and rotors from brake motive for ebay. No problems yet. with the TCS, or slip. VCD not sure if I have it, I have and enthusiast.

 

Your stock wheels would be a great upgrade from the crap on the car right now.

Non staggered can affect TCS/ VDC and ABS. Perm damage, YES , to the eyes of anyone who sees your car, and of course if one of the 3 systems i listed don't like the setup at the wrong time you can crash your car.

 

Wow people are really taking these rims offensive if they not lightweigth racing rims they are no good whats the big deal as far the rims. Anyways thanks for the help.

 

Chuck,

Plenty of people around here run square setups with no issues. You won't find alot of people here that like that setup based on the looks, but to answer the question of "will it work?"... Yes you'll be fine. Drive your car and be happy.

 

thanks for the reply appreciated.

 

Put them back on the caddy, brah.

 

If you decide on new wheels for your roadster, consider the OEM 06+ stockers. They look nice (and I have them for sale). Here they were on my wife's ZR:

those wheels arent that bad at all. there are way more uglier wheels out there then that.

 

theyre ugly, chrome, non staggered, and dirty. they dont belong on a Z

 

i hope u got it for free or free plus cash sellers side lol
