i was askin about somthin like the nismo's set up with 19'2 in the back and 18's up front. i was talkin to the guy at savage (did my tint sisters tint moms tint and my tail lights) i asked if he could get certain wheels in different sizes for me some nice privat's he said that wouldn't look good on a z. he said a staged set up as far as width would be ok. i told him my car stock already has staggered width and the nismo and gt 350z has staggered height. i wanted your opinion on if you think it would look good put as always i ask a serious question and i get called a post whore for it thank you so much for the help.

Some people say its better not to have a staggered set up and some say it is. Honestly I would just go with Jetpilot.

I had a 19" rear and an 18" front combo and in all honesty I couldn't get used to the look with the bigger sidewall being in the front. I would run either an all 18" setup or an all 19" setup. I currently run a 18" all around now. It's up to you and what you like the look of. There are no performance advantages.

staggered wheels set up tends to induce understeer

None of these people really care if they are setting their car up to understeer. Unless your on the track your not pushing your car anywhere near understearing or oversteering.

Secondly... Just to clarify. Aren't we talking about a 18" front and 19" rear? That's not staggering. Staggering is running a wider rear wheel/tire than front wheel/tire. There seems to be a little confusion in this thread concerning what is being discussd.

18" front and 19" rear doesn;t have anything to do with understeer or oversteer.

I run a 9" front wheel wth a 275/35/18 and a 20" rear wheel with a 305/35/18 I have no understeer. My car is dead neutral at the limits.

not too many people run a 18x9 fornt with a 19x9 out rear, if the diameter is different you cn abet the width is as well, bit it's really more about sidewall so yes the diammeter comes into play as well

and yes you can find over and understeer on the road in real life in responce to your imputs under severe conditions

and the balance of your car will change due to driver imputs, neutral under acceleration, is nto neutral under braking

and I am willing to wager you do nto have 275/35/18's on 20" wheels

Not going to sell the 18" ADVANS. After many sets of wheels lookign for the perfect offset for 305 tires I finally found them. These are keepers for me.

I agree he's referring to F/R wheel diameter stagger, and that's not how one would normally use of the word "staggered" in reference to wheels, but as evilky mentioned, rarely would anyone run a F18/R19 set up and not run different widths/side walls, etc. And though that doesn't "without a doubt" equate to an under-steer set-up, it most likely would.

As for the price of Advan RS's in the "big boys sizes" you're looking at ~$500-600 per wheel.

God forbid you put forth any effort or have to fend for yourself.

Try typing "Advan wheel 18" into Google and see what you get. I know its too much work, same reason you don't shift your own gears.

I get special wheel pricing.... I'm sure there is a phone number on the website possibly?

I think they are about $575 per wheel for the 18's.

But it's too much work pressing the clutch in and having to move your right arm at the same time...Search and google are your friends...
