Hello, I am a new member of this website. I have an '08 350Z (Elanor). I just recently moved from over seas and shipped the vehicle with me during the move. The shipping company beat her up pretty bad! I am looking to upgrade the wheels and tires in the process of replacing the all the damaged parts. Right now I have the original 5 spoke 18" wheels on her. I'm open to all suggestions and advice from anyone who's done this before. It would be nice to know if there's anything I should stay away from. Size's, rubbing, sticking out of the fender wells, ect. I'm open to all...Please help me out and hopefully I can get her back to looking great! Thanks!

 

19” wheels provide a very harsh ride, and the tires for 19” wheels co$t a lot.

You get much better handling with 18” wheels. The Z works great with 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear wheels and 245x40 and 275x40 tires for these wheels.

More info...

I would go with at least a 25mm offset for your wheels.You can even go 22mm offset with the sizes I mention and not have any fender rubbing.
