Aftermarket Wheel Options
Hi all, I'm new here to the thread. So i guess i'll start off with, what rims & tires do you have on your Z's? I'm trying to decide between 18's or 19's, along with chrome or black? I own a 04 Touring Z in the le mans sunset color. Love the car, just thought i would ask everyones opinions & what you have on your Z. Stock rims just don't do the car justice.

19'S are best IMO.
What is your budget?
Start there.No sense lookin if there is no buyin.
Your car color also limits some selections.
You may want to do a search for:350Z LeMans Sunset photos.
It'll give you some ideas on what others put on their Z's in the way of
wheels.

I would stick with the stock setup until the car is lowered.
If the car is already lowered, let's look at either 18" or 19". The most common is 19" but 18" can look good too. You want to be in the ballpark of 9.0-9.5" width in the front and 10-10.5" width in the back, with offsets in the mid-20's or lower. Probably looking at 245-255 width tires up front, and 275-285 width out back. May need to roll your rear fenders to get the fitment that you really want.
I believe there are both an 18" and a 19" wheel threads existing. Search them out....pages and pages and pages....study the specs. Choose wisely.

I prefer 19s to 18s (looks wise) and I have ran Falken 452 on my Flat Black Advan RSD
Both the wheels ("rims") and tires have held up great despite hitting a few intense potholes pretty hard.
I'll just leave this here.
a photoshop i did a while back.
think it would be killer.
