Im looking to get some rims and was wondering if i should go 19's or 20's on a 08 Z. What do you guys think? and does anyone know any good rim makes, im looking for all black with chrome lip and staggered. Thanks

 

Do some searching. Check out the fat tire and stretched tire thread. Most will say 19 is the max you'd want to go, but there are guys running 20s too. It's all dependent on your goals. I wanted to keep it a lightweight, strong trackable rim with cheaper tires (comparatively) so I went with some 18in RPF1s. Good luck

 

I would be happy to shop for you. 10 percent finders fee of course.

 

Godspeed wheels are the best, there is a thread on here about them. Also go with 21's, they fit the best

 

18's for performance, 19's for a good cross, if your wanna be homie bling bling go for 20's or just buy an SUV to run the dubs yo.

 

Get either 18 or 19 inch wheels. Make sure the width of the rear is good and the offset fits a Z nicely.

 

LOL'ed


Go with 18" or 19" . You can find many examples in the wheels and tire section. GL

 

19x9.5 +22 offset with 255/35/19 tire for fronts, and 19x10.5 +22 offset with 275/35/19 tire for rears, will be a decent-looking arrangement that will not require you to modify your rear fenders for fitment. This is just one suggestion and is not the "correct" answer.

If aesthetics are important to you, I would recommend lowering the car a bit to improve the stance, before putting new wheels on. Stock wheels+lowered > aftermarket wheels+stock height.

Also: Research, research, and research some more. I've been through 4 sets of wheels and finally found what I was looking for (and even now I'm only 90% pleased with them). Save yourself time/money/agony and do enough research to get your stance and wheel+tire setup right the first time.

 

Please don't put 20's on your car.

18 for track, 19 for a nice mix (aesthetic/semi-lightweight).

 

ive never had a single issue w 20s on my car, before the widebody or not. Plenty of good 22-26 lb wheels out there inexpensively. Ive owned them all, the difference is marginal at the very best when dealing w reasonable quality wheels.

 

Staggered in black with chrome lip? Here ya go: https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-tire...ished-lip.html

 

but those are as good as Godspeed!! lmao

 

I think 19s look best on the Z but I've seen plenty of nice ones on 18s. Here's how our 19s look on a Z.
