Default What kind of wheels are these?

Hey i bought a 2003 350z for $7500 not to long ago and it came with 19" motegi wheels on it but i dont know what kind and the owner doesnt remember. So can you guys tell me the name and what is the widest rim and tire size that i can put on a grand touring 350z. It is not 275/35/19. And will i have to change my front size tire if i go to a 295/35/19? Thanks in advance.....

Motegi DV5. The widest 19" wheel I can find that was a available was 19x8. Personally I wouldn't mount anything wider that a 245 width wheel. At any rate, take off your wheel and all the info should be stamped somewhere on the back.

i think they are a 8 or 8.5. Thanks for the info. So what do you think i should do so get a little wider stance. Something close to this one.

New wheels or very large spacers. You need to know what the offsets are which should be on the back of the wheel.

the rear on that is probably a 10+. I say just get a 9.5 all way around and call it a day, if you dont plan to go FI.

305/30-19 would be on the wide side of tires and you need a 10.5 to 11 inch wide wheel for them.

sorry not feeling those motegi's at all. whatever you plan on switching to make sure it's at least 10 in wide in the rear to pull off that stance in the pic.

Grand touring? um... i think you should do some more research, and get rid of those wheels asap. stock looks 10 times better than those man. look at the axis shines if you want wide wheels with big lip and that flush look.
