not only that. but since they are so tucked, depending on the design i hope they clear the brakes. : /

You should have asked or done research before buying wheels...

On a side note, I don't think spacers in the sizes you need exist.

If I get wider tires and bigger wheels, will it throw off my speedo? If yes, where would I take it to get the speedo corrected? I didn't read this entire thread so I don't know if thhis question was answered.

all depends on the overall tire size you get.

You could go wider, with a smaller sidewall ratio which could make the overaly wheel+tire height the same as the OEM, in which case the speedo is the same.

Unless you get something completely wrong, your speedo wouldnt be off by more than +- 3% which isnt that big of a deal.

The +12 in the front is pretty aggressive. I'd go with 245/35/19 in the front. And a 275 or 285 in the rear with a 10mm spacer to match the fronts aggressive stance better. You may need a camber kit if it rubs..
Hope that helps

im on the sports package 19's.
received my hankook ventus evo v12's
I got 255/35/19 and 295/30/19
In my opinion you can go more aggressive but will lose steering response.
Mine feels just about right.
When I was looking at my z today I realized you can go 275/35/19 fronts and 305/30/19 rears. and it will sit just right. Not even flush.
I am not dropped, nor do I plan on dropping since I dd my Z and my area is terrible for dropped cars.

I just bought a the evo V12s for my Z as well, but with 275-35 (stock spec for Sport). I wanted 255-35 like you, but the Tire Rack agent seemed in a hurry to sell me the evos. I was also thinking of getting Sumitomo HTRZ-III and putting 275-40-19 on the rear. He said the tolerances on our car were so tight that the tire would probably scrape (from "35" to "40" will scrape?). I ended up just going ahead with the purchase, because after two days of looking, a trip coming up next week, and worn-out rears, I needed rubber. But I then found that I could have bought the evos for the same or less at my nearby Big Brand Tire store by using the rebates listed on their website, and I would have been supporting local business. So, my Rx: Plan ahead, be well rested, and take a polite but assertive attitude into shopping for any tire or wheel and any size. The RPF-1 issue(s) is/are an example. There have been many opinions posted on what will fit and what will not, with different posters offering different opinions. I didn't mean to jack your post/question, but in general I was offering the opinion: Politely question advice unless you know it to be accurate, take your time, and do not but impulsively, especially when going to modified set-ups.

Good luck,
Jeffrey

I am a newbie about wheels and was wondering if this would fit my Roadster with the sport package.

Vertini Magic
20x8.5 +35 Fronts
20x10 +35 Rears
bolt pattern 5x114.3

I know they are pretty close though but was unsure about the offsets and if I needed spacers or anything. Also, how would I figure out the right tire size for these wheels? Any help is appreciated.

you will be fine... you may want spacers if your looking for a flush fitment.
