I can't decide what to do, I've scoured the forums and I'm still stuck.

Should I get wheels with a more aggressive offset, I'm currently on 18x8 +20 front, and 19x9.5+20 rear, or lower the car. I've thought about changing to a 18x9.5 +20 front but I'm not sure if that will fit.

Whenever I look at my car compared to other Z's on this forum something just doesn't look quite right.




Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.

 

Both.

 

Both are needed, nothing less than 9 inch wide up front, and 10 in the back

 

Unfortunately I don't have money for both right now.

 

If you do it right you might be able to!

What's your budget?

I would search for stock wheels/nismo wheels, powdercoated gloss black

drop springs

 

Then suspension and some spacers.

 

Install your rears on the front, get 2 of the same wheels in a 19x10.5 +20 or close to it for the rear.

 

Get a cheap set of spacers.

 

The tires in the rear are a 245/40/19 so they'd be too big for the front, and they don't make the wheel in anything bigger then a 19x9.5 +20. I really wish I could do your idea.

Kind of put myself in a weird spot using an unconventional setup.

 

My budget is about $900. I also want to avoid spacers, had bad experience with ichiba spacers.

 

I had thought about doing some Varrstoen ES2.2.1 in 19x9.5 +22 front, and 19x9.5 +12 rear in hyper black, but my co workers talked me out of it.

 

Then save that $900 and chill

 

Unfortunately I don't have money for both right now

 

BTW those tires would not be too big for the front especially when your not even lowered but yeah if they dont make any larger for the rear thats kinda shot anyways haha.. and both my brother and I have run spacers on the track without any issues, so if you change your mind some spacers could probably be a nice meantime fix for you

 

245/40/19 Would work in the front and not mess up the VDC? When I do the tire calculator it says it would be off by 2.9%

 

Sorry , that is a rear tire.

Grab another set of the rear wheels, run a 245/35 on it and your set.

 

Ditto. Hubcentric will run maybe $60-$100 per pair.

 

Your pic does not show a side view.One of the reasons that you may feel
your car does not look quite "right" is visual.Wheels with a dark center and polished
lips tend to look smaller.Thus,making the car look higher off the ground.This
contrast from the design stand point does this.You may do a test and use some
black tape over your polished rims.The car should look lower.Yeah,the offsets could
be better.But its the dual "color" wheels that is the difference.

 

I think for now a drop and spacers would be in order. If you are considering other wheels though check out our lineup.
