I'm looking for the same thing now. I hear ya on the search.. but you can see a few if you search for the snow threads, since it's a popular winter wheel choice.

Default 18's vs 19s

Il tell ya. Im beginning to like the 18s more and more. Simply, i have 3700 miles on the 18 stock tires. I have a 19 package rims and tires picked out . Advant Garde M310 19x9.5 and 19x11 and Hankook 245/40/285/35/19. Also the Vertini Magic is there. Now deciding if i wish to stay with 18s. I like the Forgestars F14s,TSW Croft,MAX and Nurburgrings. Others Im looking at are Savini mon Di Forza SM-3, Nutek Series 708 and Ace. This wheel buying is one hell of a lot more researching than I ever thought. Glad its winter so I have time. Learning about offsets, bulging, stretching etc , etc

Thanks! KW Variant 3's. 18x10 +15 255/40 all around. 30mm spacer in the rear. -2 camber front and -1.8 camber rear. Rolled fenders/trimmed fender liners up front. I think that's it haha. The front looks more tucked in than the rear because the front fenders have been slightly pulled out.

No more mods for the Z though. Hakosuka on the way lol.
