295 19 Rears - WOW! (Pix attached)
Wow... Just received my Continental ContiSportContact 2's. I hope they're going to fit! But I'm pretty sure it's not going to be a problem.. I measured 12.25" and I need 12" to clear the width in the rear. Besides, a few others are already running this tire in the rear... will post pix as soon as the wheels arrive.

So, I will need to roll the fenders... who does that? Body shop? Anything to be on the lookout for? I heard that it can be a messy job unless done correct.

Here is the only photo I have ever seen with the wheels mounted. Only difference is my Z is CS and is a roadster. I am sure these are 19" as well as Balsarini doesn't make a 20" Luftbahn for the Z. It looks that these tires are a 30 profile... I really like the fact that no one in the New England area is going to have these rims.
I also ordered the full Balsarini body kit as well as Fabulous side-skirts. We'll see in a few weeks what it looks like!

he he... you guys really made my day... not a chance of another one like it!
Seriously, you're going to have to do better than that to hurt my feelings That's the beauty of customizing your vehicle anywhere in the free world... it's yours and you're not doing it for anyone but yourself. Taste being what it is, I have seen many cars on this site that are not my cup of tea. As for having the tact to resist making negative, unconstructive comments is usally a matter of maturity. But no hard feelings, that's for sure. Everyone on this board has provided so much information thus far, and that's the primary reason I am here.
Back to the original thread, the coilovers recommended by the body shop are the Tein Flex... I think they said you can drop up to 3"? Way more that needed... also, for those that are learning like I am, most body shops can do the fender rolling thingy. I'm still curious what needs to be taken into consideration when having your fenders rolled. Is it an easy process? Or one that if f*cked up can wreck your fenders...
Here another pix !!

take it all with a grain of salt.
and, don't worry about 19's with thin rubber in boston...i've been driving on my rims for months and haven't had a problem (but, for the most part, i avoid area that i know have crappy roads...or, i drive the SUV).
where in boston are you located??

I think it looks tuff...very solid if you will. When I see rims like that it brings to mind the Lambos... They have always had very bold looking wheels on their cars.
I like it, your Z will look great!!!
ps you will most likely have to roll your fenders. Especially if you drop it. Take a look at my thread "fattest tires on a 19" rim"...there is a similar setup to yours. Great shots of those tires.

Like I said, I have so much respect for the members here and the collective knowledge. 4 months ago I knew NOTHING compared to what I have learned thus far! I knew zilch about vehicles, maintenance, repairs, modifications, etc. and still have a long way to go...
I'm right in South Boston... I am a partner in a printing company with locations in Boston, Cleveland and Vegas so if anyone needs any full color flyers, brochures, etc. be sure to let me know!

topdown350z I think that the body kit you picked out and those whells are gonna look nasty on a roadster!!! I'm from springfield MA and I have a red roadster I unfortunatly have to sell but if I had the ability to keep it... that pic you posted would definitly have persuaded me to go with a similar if not same set up. Cant wait to see pix of your ride bro!!
