I'm looking for new shoes for the Z, and ill be frank right off the bat - im as new as it gets to figuring out how something will sit/fit/look before it actually is on the car. (reading up a lot of stickies and gulping down info, bear with me...)


My goal is a look similar to this, where the tire looks considerably thinner and flatter on the wheel



as opposed to something like this:



where the tires is all rounded and fat, which is absolutely horrendous looking.




What is the difference im looking at here? is the tire in the first pic stretched? or is it just that certain make of tire that gives that look? how do I achieve the former?


(I do realize the look partially has to do with the lack of lip in the 2nd picture, as well as the lack of drop, compared to the 370 in the first pic)


I am currently looking at something like this...

20 x 9 11 XXR 526 Gold Lip Rims Wheels Staggered 08 09 10 11 12 13 Nissan 370Z | eBay

as i don't have the cash to drop on some works or the venici's I fell in love with, and probably wont for a while (poor college life)


Thanks for all the help guize.


EDIT:

Furthermore, 9 front and 11 rear width, how am I to know how far it will come out of the fender (if at all?) ?
I do know the offset is the distance from the mounting point to the tip of the lip... however that doesnt help me imagine how I'd calculate that.



P.S: shoutout to kevr6 for the inspiration. such a clean, beautiful car.
