Nismo300zx, they're not bad. They're not bad at all. What are their offsets and tire sizes? Personally, I would have gone with a wider wheel in the front though, but they're not bad at all.

^^ yes, not too bad... i'm sure he can rock the 18x10 in the fronts, with smaller tires.

Nismo300zx: btw, no need to quote EVERY pic, lol.

Gotta agree- anyone who has posted pics of their car and setups have DAMN FINE Z's, and I like them all and envy you guys who drop so DAMN low. I already scrape/rub WAY too much on the stock setup to even DREAM of more than driving down the block lowered...

Offset for 19" is 35. And with the factory negative camber, look like I'm going VIP style lol

VIP:Cars associated with VIP Style usually have common characteristics; usually large diameter rims (usually broad faced designs) with low offsets that sit flush with the fender, exhausts that stick out past the rear bumper (although not so much emphasized these days), a full bodykit or lip kit, glossy paint and a lowered ride height (usually with coilovers or air ride). In Japan, cars use primarily coilovers. It is not uncommon to see extreme negative camber on many vip cars. Traditional colors of VIP Style cars are usually black, white, grey and silver.

I know what VIP is. Which is why I'm confused because those wheels are not flush, they don't have low offsets and that car is not lowered.

Nothing personal or anything. I think they have potential they just need more low and less offset. You sure the fronts are 19x9.5 +35?

My bad typo, It's 19x8.5 +35 all around. On staggered setup, the rear is 19X9.5 +35.

And no, I am not Vipping my Z You guys took my words too serious

I'd get your suspension set up first before you know how much you need to push out your wheels. Should've asked before you got those sizes, XXR makes better sizes for Z's in the 962.

You need to update your sig to show those sexy bishez off!

And on my black Z:

OZ Superleggera III

18x8.5" +33mm up front. 245/40/18 on the silver car, 255/35/18 on the black one
18x10" +40mm out back, 275/35/18 on the silver car, 285/30/18 on the black one.

I'll be adding longer studs and a 10-15mm spacer up front this spring, as the fronts are slightly sunken in for my liking. The rears required a fender lip roll to fit the 285s, but no pulling. Factory alignment specs, dropped about 1.75" from stock height on SPL coilovers.
