Smile How Big is too Big? 19" or 20"

Hey Guys,

I just ordered my Z and am curious to know a couple of things. First, in the wheels gallery, are those ADR Sterlings on the white 350z 19 or 20 inch? Next, what do you all thing about putting 20's on a Z. I think they look great, just worried about the rough ride. Those ADR Sterlings look great on that white one. Any input will help, thanks alot fellow 350 lovers.

20's not too big if you have 15" brakes.

Depends on how you plan on driving and where you are driving. Pot holes + 20's= no$

Yeah, 20's make the stock brakes look very tiny...

Do you want looks or handling? If you want only "the" look go with 19s in front and 20s in back. Some of both - 19s. Great Handling, with looks (not "the" look) - 18s. Not stock 18s, but 8.5" front and 9.5" rear. IMO. Hope this makes sense. And yes, 20s are too big!

I heard 19's are hard to find. Better off with 18's or 20s. True?

I don't think 20's look too big at all if it's the right wheel. The wheelwells on the Z are HUGE!

Here's the same wheels I just ordered for my SB: 20x10 rear



That's bdiddy's Z which I believe he sold.

your car...your wheels...

but like they are saying it all depends if you want a performance car or a looker car. If you truely want performance then you do not want either one...you want smaller.

I love the look of 20s on the z though...more than size i think wheel style makes more difference to me...
