go for 12 inch


remember that the G35 BBK's are not the same as the Z's BBK's...it's bigger bow

thats a good question, it's always like that..i got no answer...lol

every person that got rims on the G always got that...i was wondering the same thing as you

i think i will go for a 12 or at least 11.5 (usually like to go a half inch smaller to guarantee no rubbing) on the back , now i gotta start looking all over again took me two weeks to find ones i liked and in my price range , im kinda picky when it comes to my car , im sure u know exactly what i mean ;) , any good wheels sites to check out ?

i mainly just look at what the vendors got.

the forgedstars are pretty nice, they have a nice colour for any colour Z.

like piano black for a white z or a murdered out Z

titanium for blue and tone tone for greys.



360 rims are risky to get, that company almost went under......sevas rims have a bad rep.

modular concepts have nice rims, CF ones also

i wanted something with a deep lip and that mesh style , the BBS are nice but i dont even know if they make the sizes im now looking for plus i didnt wanna pay 6g's for rims

what colour is ur G by the way??


don't get the GT-30's....those have lips but the rims have been over used...too common and it's ugly to me....looks like toothpicks from hub to the rim....ha

lol , i got the dark grey color with the light grey/white interior , touring package and navi package no sport

nice, PG on Frost.....PG is the best one...

yea i love it , im just worried about the interior , never had suede before , plus since its such a light color , i find myself obsessing about who i let sit inside , haha . BTW now all u guys got me looking at are the BBS Lm's or the HRE 590r both really really expensive wheels

HRE are quite expensive, i dont even bother looking at them.


search for some volks rims, more affordable

The reasoning behind this is the second number in the tire size is going to be the sidewall height as a ratio of the width.

So, 255/30/20 = 26" diameter and 775 revs per mile
and 305/25/20 = 26" diameter and 776 revs per mile

The rear tire is nearly identical in overall diameter to the front, even though the sidewall height number is smaller.

if you want to compare tire sizes, use Tire size calculator

yea, it's height/width ratio

but if the fronts are 20in and the rear aswell.......i dont get how 255-30-20 ,305-25-20 are the same diameter...unless the wider tires are a bit taller

i kno the width is in millimeters but the diameter is in inches , that always messes me up , but i still dont understand why the hell people get a smaller aspect ratio for the rear

plug the values on the calculator, those sizes give the same diameter but the rear travel one mile more.......i dont get that....we really need tire tire sizes & offsets 101 here

That's the key, aspect ratio:

think of it as the sidewall height = (aspect ratio) x (width)

both wheels are 20 inch, so you want the same sidewall height on each to achieve the same overall diameter

for a 255/30, height = .30 x 255 = 76.5
for a 305/25, height = .25 x 305 = 76.5

hope that helps
