haha, think of it as a percentage

25 series aspect ratio is going to have sidewall height 25% of the width of the tire

so a truck with 50 series will have 50% sidewall height :icon18:

forgestar... search for it... 18s are lightest and won't look as small in black or darker color... 19s are also plenty big when car is dropped

Argos 06-14-2009 01:18 PM
not planning on dropping the car , i dont want to mess up the ride feel and i already scrap everything when just everyday driving

nogoodname 06-14-2009 01:20 PM
^^ really....the G/Z is pretty high stock......the G never scrapped anything here.......driving in the dunes or what...lol.....

travisjb 06-14-2009 01:47 PM
this car is jacked up like a 4x4... need to drop

Argos 06-14-2009 04:56 PM
i live in south fl , i just noticed i scrape the bottom front end on almost every parking lot i drive out of , its mostly because of all the rain ditches i think . they make them pretty deep down here were about a meter below the water table , and we get tons of rain from june - nov (hurricane season). im not scraping the actual bumper , but the bottom of it

nogoodname 06-14-2009 05:00 PM
here, there no ditches like that, only in the old part of town....it's all sewers and manholes...

HRE Performance Wheels – Monoblok Series for Nissan GTR

Ok i am trying to figure this out for when i buy rims.
The above is what i like honestly. hre m45's.

should i just stick with 19" or go with the 20" and then maybe 19 up front?
I have the basic understanding of what offset is.

Are you guys saying if you have a lip you are more stable?

nogoodname 06-14-2009 05:12 PM
^^ not really, lips are for looks and to extend the rim as far as possible to the fender for flush'ness.


HRE's are quite costly, nice rims though

Argos 06-14-2009 06:33 PM
go with 20's all around , personally i never liked the two diameter rims set up , looks ok on some american muscle cars not z's

Argos 06-14-2009 07:16 PM
btw HRE are awesome wheels

Argos 06-14-2009 11:38 PM
so basically if i find a wheel i like with a bolt pattern of 114.3 by 5 and in these sizes , with these size tires i should be pretty much set.... no rubbing , no tire stretching , no driving problems ... is a 25 aspect ratio for the back too low especially for everyday driving ?

20X9.5____255-30-20
20X12_____305-25-20

travisjb 06-15-2009 12:19 AM
go bigger (wider) in front... remember this car is about 56/44 front/rear weight distribution
