Hi all, been thinking about getting some 19" rims for the Z, do any of you have any comments or advise, how wide and what offset? before I take the plunge.These are what I've been looking at.

Ive just fitted a set of 19s to my z they look perfect with the rears being 9.5inches wide with 265 30 19 and the front 8.5inches with 235 35 19 they really do make a big difference in the looks department and the handling, not sure on the offset ill have to check i cant remember.

Paul,

 

This is taken from the FAQ section (brakes & suspension):

 

PCD

5 x 114.3

 

Offset

+35...42 mm

 

Centre bore 66 mm

 

The off-set is a range because a lot of wheels have varying dish depth. You can therefore get away with a slightly different off-set than on stock wheels.

 

With regard to handling characteristics - that will be due to the unsprung weight changing when you use different rims. For example, I've got a set of 19" Kahn RS-C 2-piece rims and they weigh a tonne compared to some other forged rims which are light as a feather.

Personally I don't think you need to get anything bigger than 18" on the Z. This also saves on wheel and tyre costs.

I would go for a +35 offset with a 9.5" rear rim , and +25 offset with a 8.5" front rim.

 

thats what i got on mine.. perfect combo IMO....
