yeah, theres no "perfect" size.
if you're going for just looks, its just a matter of calculating sidewall number (width vs sidewall thickness) and making sure you get the look you want. if you want a little stretch, perfectly flat etc. It also matters how much of a drop you want, stiffness of suspension and the travel length of your suspension. To avoid having to type out an essay and a half I'm going to say sidewall calculators and rim fit calcs are very helpful but at the end of the day, fitment is personal

Looking at a set of set of Work VS TX.

WORK VS-TX Steplipped - Super RARE!
I pretty much am horrible with determining what offsets are needed to get flush.

The wheels are front: 19x11 et 16 and rears: 19x11 et 12.

I am looking for a flush look, no poke (at all). Does this get me close? Also, I am dropped on H&R springs (1.25 front, 1 rear). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

So I have scoured the forums and yet I need help. Please be patient and let me know everything I should look out for!

So I have a brand new 2014 370z I bought recently. I found these rims/tires that I like. Will this fit?

20"

5 Bolt pattern 44.5 or 114.3

Lexani Black Label Rims

(2) 225/35zr20 93w XL
(1) 225/35zr20 90w Xl
(1) 225/35r20 90v

Btw, these are used rims/tires I found on craigslist. What should I look for when I purchase them? Pointers? Just anything really!

Thanks!

No don't do it, Lexani's on a Z!?

But you only gave tire specs (which btw are super small)

Bolt pattern is correct at 114.3 5 Bolt.

What you need is offset/width of wheel, but by looking at that probably 8.5" width.

Just for reference OEM Front on Sport are 9x19 -47 / Rear 10x19 -30

Can you help me out why not lexani? Too heavy? What brands would you suggest then?

Also what width/offset do you suggest? Is 20" too big? Should I stick with 19"?

Thanks

I am trying to get the offset/width of the wheel, but the seller doesn't know. How can she find out? Is there a model number on the rim she can look at? How can I instruct her to find the width/offset?

Thanks

Weird, my posts are disappearing.

Lol, I think they look nice and sporty. Definitely not chrome. Check em out:

Lexani R-Five Black

It looks nice. Right?

What brands would you guys suggest I look at then?

Thanks in advance!

nice concave look on those. not bad at all.

actually to be honest i was just busting balls since lexani was started with big ugly massive SUV wheels (i owned a set on a previous tahoe i owned lol) but now looking through there stuff it's not bad with some of the sporty selections. lots of concaves and forged pieces.

i'm happy to see other brands finally other than TE-37's which everyone and their mother with a Z has now. they are nice, clean ,simple but everyone has them. not my style.
