So I’m looking for a snow wheel setup for this winter because some people are saying it might be a bad winter in Tennessee and the Z is my only car so I don’t want to chance it with all seasons
right now I have a squared setup with 235/45/19’s


on this rim but I don’t know the offset or anything else about it old owner put them on
I have been lookin at fitment industries and they have
235/55/19
255/50/19
What would be my best bet between those 2 sizes I don’t want any clearance issues with the coilovers and I do not want to have to roll my fenders and I need to I can just raise the car up to compensate for the wheel size

 

Neither

 

than what should I do

 

I just found some 235/45R19 99v snow tires should I go with that size

 

yes

 

Why not buy a set of OEM 18s and mount some 225-245 snows in it? Cheaper and easier to use with the OEM calipers and coilovers you have.

 

im just using these wheels for this winter because after it starts to get warm again I plan to get a whole new wheel and tire setup with 18’s and for right now I can just spend 500-600 on snow tires and mount them on the. 19’s that are on the car now which for a temporary fix seems cheaper to me

 

As someone who drove a Z in Chicago winter for 7 years.... do yourself a favor either get a DD or invest in a set of 17s to put snow tires on. The larger the wheel the worse it will perform, gotta pay to play. Trade the wheel for stock 17s or something.

 

I’ll have smaller wheels next year but for now this would be a temporary fix and I don’t belive it should be too bad since I only drive to work and home which is a 15 min drive and mostly on main roads which will probably be salted, don’t really have the money for wheels and tires right now, just bought the Z recently which I could save money but I probably wouldn’t have enough until after our first snow

 

Up to you, I wouldn't buy something "just for now" just to spend even more later....I've done too much of that, trying to be smarter now.

 

Stock wheels are cheap, like almost given away. I would grab a set for the snow
