Ya i definatly agree that 19's are the way to go, i dont really know what kind of look your goin for but 19's definatly make the car look alot more agressive. I guess 20's could be cool if your goin for somethin like a show car but i dont think i would go any bigger........i dont even know if you can.

I like the 18" rims that are on mine. Definately don't go bigger than 19" ones.

Ya those wheels i posted up there, the axis ones are pretty great because they are 19's over the stock 18's they look more agressive and even tho there bigger there about a pound less than the stock rims weigh. Thats not really going to affect much on making you go faster, but it deffinatly wont slow you donw.

I like those rims to. Unless you have your car completely stripped and are useing it for raceing the extra weight won't do much.

. I went with 20" Foose rims and smaller tire, but wider and did not affect ride height. If you go alot bigger you are getting into clearance issues, having to add bigger brakes, and on a little car you will raise your ride height and does look a little oddModified by modified350z at 7:24 PM 10/17/2007

Hey about having 18's in the front and 19's in the back........how do you like it, does it affect the ride at all or anything. Does it really make a difference and can you tell in that it looks more agressive? Also if you have pics of your car where you can see the rims and the whole profile of the car that would be pretty cool to post up........just saying i would love to see it.

Really its about the performance or "show" aspect of the 350z. I'm not a fan of pretty much any 350z (or any car) with modifications that add weight instead of save it. 20's or whatever will maybe make your car more attractive to people uneducated about what the car is supposed to do, but I'd rather have small light weight wheels and nice tires on my car. I drive an evo though... so the only people who think my car is cool are car dudes.

Well, Evo is all about performance so it speaks for your preference when it comes to modifying a car ;]

My friend is the same. He hates anything that decreases power ;]

Your car in your sig looks badass man

I thought with the 350z's you dont want to stagger heights between f/r wheels? i was told to keep my diameters within 0.25-0.50''

maybe thats just folklore

I dont think its bad at all ive never heard anything like that, not that i can think of anyway. Actually if im correct and i may not be i thought some of the higher models of the Z came staggered with 18's in the front and 19's in the back.
