Same. IT's the smart thing to do. I've been starting some research for offsets, camber crap, and other stuff. Especially since I don't have the sport package. Which means the rotors look smaller and will make the new wheels look huge in comparison for anything over 18'.

I am just going to ask Kenchan what offsets I should get when the time comes

if lowered i dont know exactly.. but considering im at ET40 with 19x9.5 on the front with the nismo's i'd do something like 19x9.5 ET28-30 but if aggressive closer to ET25 range.

for the rear, probably go with something like 19x10.5 ET10 or something if lowered considering my 19x10.5 ET15 on my weds look flush already, need to compensate some aggressiveness due to neg camber when lowered.

just a thought though, can't advise if those are good numbers. but thats where i'd probably target.

if using different widths, those ET's dont apply.

Leingod · 07-09-2015, 08:02 AM

Googling what ET stands for now.... I know junk about wheels, offsets, camber arms, anything. How I changed the springs in my Cobalt years ago still astounds me I didn't break anything.

i daily my Z till i find something decent for 3-4k to get as a daily.

on the other hand you should donate the wheels you have on your car now to me, so we can improve this canada - usa relationship even more

Phew, you make me feel better about DD'ing the Z over the summer. I want to baby it, yet thrash it relentlessly. The second that my Si gets sold, I'll be getting a 3-4k beater. Maybe another Cobalt if I'm lucky. Need to start looking around. The old school Hyundai Elantra wagons aren't bad. Or i'll just get a RAM 1500....
