Aftermarket wheels with NO drop

matrix_square · 10-30-2013, 12:37 AM

Volk GT-30's in 20x9.5+35 & 20x10.5+10 tires 255/30/20 & 305/25/20
That's kaizen specs....

I'm contemplating on buying a a set but with these specs:

20x9.5+24 and 20x10.5 +23 any problems with stock height ? Will it stick out too much ?

Not at all. The fronts are fine, but the rears could use 10mm -15mm spacers.

What wheels are these and what are the specs? Looks exactly what I'm looking for.

I got some F14 in 19x9.5 and 19x11 on stock height it looks like a damed 4x4! Definitely needs a drop come summertime.

I would rather go with correct tires than try to address "wheel gap" through tire size.

Wth are you guys even thinking? No tire size is going to fill a 5in fender gap unless you want a 60profile sidewall.

Tards

For someone who has been on this forum for over a year you have alot to learn about 1) how to talk to people on the forum and 2) how to mod a car

As it has been shown several times in this thread if you have the right wheel and tire offset and tire ratio you do not need to use suspension mods to reduce the wheel gap

I would be more than willing to bet he is running something which is stretched given his wheel sizes. By simply running a larger profile tire like a 265-35-19 front and a 305-35-19 he can more than makeup this difference.

How did you not get that from my post? Do I need to explain it even more?

I've read all these posts and still not sure what to do. 19" or 20" I found a set of 19" wheels that are only 9.5" wide on 19" and keep reading that everyone goes at least 10.5 in th rear. Should I go 20"?? I'm not lowered but I'll do it if I need to. I just don't want to have to roll fenders or get myself into a situation that paints me against the wall and regret my choice. I have no idea what offset to use and want this to sit perfectly from the get go.

Any help would be appreciated since I still don't know if 20's are the right choice based on ride quality and terrible roads. This is my second car but I still want to make the right choice because the 20's do look nice but 19'swith a drop also look good.

Thanks guys.

I would recommend the following setup:

19x9.5 (+22) 265-35-19
19x10.5 (+12) 295-35-19 or 305-35-19

I see you PM'd me this same question

I have quoted my post within this thread as my suggestion. I personally would never go 20's on a Z and the sizing I suggested is ideal for this car or a Z33 in my opinion

Post a pic?

fairlady_z34 · 10-31-2013, 10:42 AM
