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.

 

Wait, you painted your lights?

Tinting/painting/spraying whichever term you prefer.

 

Well you said you tinted your windshield and painted the lights.. I are confused.

 

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

 

Welcome to the wonderfull world of TCS/VDC issues.

 

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

 

Not my style but not bad at all.

 

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??
