Need some major advice
Alright, here's the skinny. Couple questions:
1. Anybody have a recommendation for where to order Advan wheels? I'm interested in either the Model V
Or the Kreuzer V
2. I just want to make sure I have the most optimal size. I want to get 19" Now just to clarify, our bolt pattern is 5x114.3, correct? Then, what width front and rears would you guys recommend? Availability is 8.0, 9.0, and 10.0 What about offsets? Offset availability is as follows:
19x8: 30/38/45
19x9: 35/40/35
19x10: 45
3. In terms of tires, any recommendations in terms of a brand? On my Altima I've have the Bridgestone S0-3's and the Kumho Ecsta MX's. I want good (for a performance tire) tread life, decent cost, and decent control in wet conditions. Also, what height/width tire combination would be recommended for the wheel that you choose above? From what I've read 245's in the front and 275's in the rear is the best...that true? What about height on the 19's? Would a 45 series tire suffice without rubbing issues? I do plan on dropping the car with at least springs, and possibly adjustable coilovers in the future.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Oh, and question 4: Which of the two wheels abpve would you recommend in terms of looks?
For the lip fans, other possibilities are HRE or iForged wheels...but for now, I just need help with the two wheels above.

I really like the model V.
Probably wanna go 19x8 front and 19x10 rear. I'm not an offset expert though. 245/275 is good.
You can check out Bulletproof for wheels:
http://www.bulletproofautomotive.com...hp?category=78
They go straight order from Japan and it takes a while.
The Advan Super Advan Generation II is interesting...
Gruppes is selling some Kreuzer V's for $2600 shipped.
http://www.gruppe-s.com/
Kuhmo's are a good choice. Try for Toyo's if you can get em.
Good luck.

Is it possible/optimal to do 245/40 275/40 or even 245/45 275/45 without rubbing concerns? Even with a drop?
Also, say I were to go with 19x8 in front 19x10 in rear...what offsets should I be doing? 19x10 is only offered in +45...is that going to be ok since the wheel width is larger?

I was really into Advan model 5 (nsx pic) but in my opinion it doesnt' look good on Z althogh it looks amazing on NSX.
you can check actual photo of model 5 on Z @ gallery/ wheel section.
I prefer Kreuzer. no fat. serious looking wheels.

I have the same style Advan wheels on my Altima in 18" and get a ton of compliments on it. I think the one in the gallery looks great as well....I do like wheels with a lip, but the only ones that I do like (HRE, and iForged) are all wayy too expensive. I'd like to see the Kreuzer wheel on the Z though...I don't think anybody has done it...As somebody stated, Gruppe-s is having a sale for $2,600 shipped for the Kreuzer in gun metal 19x8 and 19x9...both 38mm offsets. Not sure if that would be good enough? And I'm not sure if I want to go with the gunmetal look either...
