Default I goofed on my tires w/ pics

I should have went with 295 or 305 in the rear. Instead I got 285/35/19 on a 19x10.5 wheel and they looked stretched.

I put 255/35/19 on the front on a 19x9.5 wheel, they are cool, but could have used 265/35/19. The wheel kind of sticks out a bit and not flush with fender.

Should I just go with 30 profile wheels on all 4 corners? The guy over at tirerack.com said if I leave the fronts alone at 35s and go with 30s on the back that it will look like crap and the electronics will be off. I dunno about all that.

Anyone looking for a good deal on some pilot ps2. They have less than 25 miles on them.

Anyhow. Below is my new Venaci wheels. I love the wheels, I just need some feedback/opinions on the rubber.

The tirerack guy apparently doesn't know what he's talking about. Profile by itself means nothing, profile is a function of the height of the tire divided by the width. Look at the tire diameter and revolutions per mile (rpm) specs to see how close the tires are in size to each other.

Default You do you

All that matters is that you like the way it looks man, don't sweat everyone else's opinion. You obviously have good taste, you picked a wicked car!! If YOU smile when you walk up to your ride, then trust me, the rims look perfect. Congrats on your new wheels!

Not feeling those rims at all...looks like the offset is more in the front than the rear :S

so what kind of drop would one recommend.

I don't want to lose comfort. I don't track, just street.

In the PS2's I probably would've chosen 265/35 and 295/30 for your wheels.

I agree. I think the wheels could benefit from a 10mm wider tire all around. That plus a drop and you have one sexy car!

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the wheels? Also, I added your pictures to my flickr 370z wheel gallery. Let me know if you don't want me to post them on there.

Jason,

no offense, i like these wheels, but I think the offset on the front is way too aggressive. Are the offsets +15 for rear and +17 for front?

I think you are going to have a serious rubbing issue when the car is lowered unless you go with some real aggressive camber and stick with the 255's

Check out Dannys thread, his wheels are 9.5 in front with a +22 and he had some minor rubbing issues, although he is running a 275.

The tires aren't so much the problem but the front offset is way too much.

If you put a 265 on that front, it's going to look worse than the 255's you have up front now. Other than getting different wheels, the best thing you could do to make it look better both on the front and rear would be this.

Run a 245 on that 9.5 front. Yes it will be stretched (could look like crap too) but it wouldn't look like it sticks out so much. And then run a 295 or 305 one profile lower than your front. I'm sure the 370'S have that slip light stuff if your rear tire diameter is too close to the fronts diameter.

For example I'm running 245/35/19's front on 19x8.5" wheels and 305/30/19's on the rear on 19x10.5" wheels. I have the base model 350Z so I don't have to worry about that traction contral mumbo jumbo, however with my setup my rears are 1/2" bigger diameter than the front and that much should not cause problems with the traction control.

If you ran a 295 the overall diameter is only about 1/4" larger than the front and I'm not sure if that would throw a traction slip light thing or not.

Anywho this is what a 305/30/19 Potenza would look like on your 10.5" wide wheels.
