Alchemy,
My car is stock, you think I can run 255/30/19 front and 295/30/19 rear with out needing spacers or any other modification? In fact what is the best wheel/size combo one can do with the cars stock suspension/springs for performance / aesthetic purposes? all opinions welcome,

Fern im not positive but I think u should be able to put those tyres on there no prob. I know some people put 305's on the stock rear rays.

Fern to the Z · 04-16-2011, 05:14 PM

So stock no drop or any other mods If i go
20x9+20x11, I can run tire sizes 245-35-20+285-30-20 without any problem right?
I heard I can go 255-30-20+305-25-20 but i think that's pushing it.

by mods i mean spacer, springs, or coil overs

U shouldnt have a prob but you will wanna research what offset you will need on those rims for the right fitment. With the right offset there will b no probs fittin any of those tyre sizes.

looks like ill most likely be getting the f14s now to find the right offset for 20"s

Why 20's?

isteppedindun · 04-16-2011, 10:10 PM

more show then go is my plan on this car

Fern to the Z · 04-17-2011, 03:05 AM

If i want more performance than aesthetics (or go) would 19's be a better option than the 20's?

19's will out perform 20's and 18's out perform 19's. For all out performance go 18, for all out looks go 20 and for a mix of both go 19.

Fern to the Z · 04-17-2011, 11:49 AM

Thanks Alchemy 19's it is, with the right tire I can get the look on 19's and not sacrifice on performance, I would love 20's but my Z is my daily driver so I always take performance into consideration.

I would have loved to get 18's but they just look too small. Im all about performance, but I just had to sacrifice a bit and go 19. Do you ever plan on lowering? If so make sure you take that into consideration when deciding upon offsets.

Fern to the Z · 04-17-2011, 12:32 PM

Going with the F.I. TDX CBE with CF mufflers, since the mufflers sit pretty low definitely not planning on lowering.

isteppedindun · 04-17-2011, 02:11 PM

yeah i plan on getting swifts once i move back to texas so i have considered that into the right offsets
