Upgrading to 19"

Strangler · 07-23-2012, 12:10 AM

I have 18" tires on my Z right now and was thinking about upgrading to the 19" sport tires. When I do this I obviously need to change the spare 18" tires in the trunk as well. My question here is, where can I buy a spare 19" tire from? Also, does anyone have a suggestion on which brand or where I should buy?

your outer diameter shouldn't change much regardless of 18 or 19 or 20 for that matter.

The spare tire for the 19" wheels is an 18" wheel (forged even!). Overall wheel height is essentially the same for the base 18" and the sport 19". The 19" wheels use a lower profile tire to maintain the same overall height.

Oh that's weird, I had no idea. So I should be fine upgrading to 19" without worrying about the spare in my trunk. Thanks.
