20" Giovanna Kili's
 
So I just got the Z back today. I put a set of matte black 20" Giovanna Kilis on it. 20x10 in the rear and 20x8.5 up front. For tires I went with the Nitto 555's. 285/30 in the rear and 245/35 up front. I also had all my exterior lights painted (except for the headlights), windshield tinted 35%, and got the 2 Nissan badges painted black.

Tinting/painting/spraying whichever term you prefer.

pmab9918 Sep 22, 2010 05:14 AM
Well you said you tinted your windshield and painted the lights.. I are confused.

bslagle3 Sep 22, 2010 05:19 AM
O my appologizies... They "sprayed" them rather than using the "tint film"

I was prepared to laugh and point when I opened this thread but it doesn't look too bad

EXACTLY my thought..... I read "Giovanna" and thought "oh god no :("

Most Giovanna wheels would look like complete crap on a Z... Those actually aren't too bad though. With a drop, it would look pretty good.

yea, looks nice. just needs a drop

Yeah really. At first I read your post and thought about arguing "those tire sizes shouldn't be too far off outer diameter-wise from OEM...", then I saw that the wheels are 20" diameter and I agreed 100%

Depends on overall diameter of the wheel and tire combined. I have 20" wheels and no VDC issues at all.

Nothing wrong with the wheels, its the chosen tire profiles. He needs a 255 or 245/30 front tire.

Yeah I know, that's why I was agreeing with terrasmak....the sidewalls on his 20" tires are too tall and he's way out of OEM spec tire OD and it won't play nice with TCS / VDC

Waiz Sep 22, 2010 08:45 PM
Not my style but not bad at all.

Shizzmaster2k Sep 23, 2010 04:45 AM
Nice wheels. Now all you need are the oem brembo's to fill them out and you'll be all set.

I'm surprised.

So what kind of issues could I possibly see with the tcs/vdc??
