19" wheels make my car ride high...

[tg]

yeah needs a 1-1.5" drop

[dozug]

19" is fine if you have the right wheel and tires.stay as low profile as you can. 35 series. 40 max.

that z with 19" up there does not look good at all. needs to drop a couple inch.

everyone has their own taste. I dont really like dropping.

Depends on your tire width, I run 19" 315/25 -- but thats taller than a 245/30 so you have to take tire width into account.

[bad news boost]

i woulda went with 19s in the back and 18s in the front

hey guys here the pics. I think the bolt pattern is actually a 112, as they are tsw bremmas (mercedes copie). they went on just fine - is this going to cause any problems ?

On a 2+0, it won't look right. On a 2+2, yes.

Damn that's SEX. How come my G (which comes with those) doesn't look at good? HUH? TELL ME NOW?

Great looking Z!

[Z-owned]

I don't like it but thats just my opinion the mercedes symbol center caps need to go.

[dozug]

Please change the wheel cap to Z ones,,,

first take those center cap off! second, running on 19 without lowering your car make it look like that McDonald DONK I post up earlier...

if you getting 19s, which is hard to pull off, You want to get some coilovers so you can ajust the ride height... and if you really want to put it off clean, make sure you get some bodykit, and NO Rice a** bodykit, a jdm bumper and with Wing West side skirt would do I think, I am not sure if the stillen lip would pull it off. But if you can get some 18s or 17s, xD good luck man, more pic when u done

btw I change my Sig, is it better now? I didn't have better pix back @ that time...

[dustovshio]

Ironically, I'll probably sell these and buy a wings west body kit :-) I think the car would actually look ok if it was just lowered, and had the body kit mods you mentioned. It really doens't handle or drive nearly as well as it did with the stock rims though. I only paid $450 for the wheels and tires, so they were a bit of a bargain. what do you think should I keep them (minus the center caps) and do the body mods or sell for profit and downgrade to 18"s ? - which will probably end up costing me more dough in the long run. are 18's going to handle much better than 19's (I'd like to hear from people who have owned and driven on both)

it's ironic that you posted this right after i posted this:

and to answer your question, yes, fake mercedes wheels, wheels with mercedes logos on a Z, and 19" wheels on a Z32 in general are all problem-causing. also, the bolt pattern is not actually 112. it's actually 5x114.3 and always has been .

[NissanFairladyZ32]

i think 19s is the biggest you can go without lowprofile tires

[dustovshio]

I was referring to the mercedes 112 bolt pattern, of coarse the z32 is the 114.3. If I post nice, high def pictures in response to your request the term is not irony- it's called iconoclasm. what problems specifically are mercedes wheels going to cause on my z? I consider a problem something that will cause the car to break down, or not function properly, not a code out of some quasi z bible that says "19" fake mercedes wheels on a Z32 in general are all problem-causing".

That looks great, but those wheels look great on lots of cars ...

[300freekzx]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[nismoz32fairlady]

lol, it is your car, I am only suggesting... here is what I think you should do, first sell the rims, get stock Z rims/g35 rims/ 350z anniversary rims. Then buy coilovers or struts and springs(i.e. koni yellow/gc coilovers sleeves, tockio whites/Gc coilovers, Kyb agx/Gc coilovers... and dont get eibach pro kit if you want more then .8inch drop) generally bodykit is last mod you do, and if you do get one, no RICE pls... so for the rims and suspension set up, I think it is going to run you about 1.5k-2.3k, depend on how cheap you can get the rims for, and what suspensions set up you want.

[dustovshio]

thanks for the advice. I am looking into the suspension mods now and have the wheels for sale. after having on these wheels I feel it is almost pointless to do body body mods before basic performance upgrades - but then again it's a matter of choice. I have a friend who's into american muscle cars who always gripes on ricers who do the body mods first.
