Even 19s (which was available) will be yummy, but they discontinued most of the sizes.

Only 19x9.5 as far as I’ve seen and even those are long gone.

They came in 19x10.5 as well, they pop up every now and then but yeah, rare. Same with the RE30s which came in 19x10/11 (the 10" offset was pretty weak around +30 or so)

Great thread. I applaud your dedication to trying to inform people as much as you have, for the past....almost decade!

I didn't want to clog the "18s on a Z" thread. This thread is "mine" so i will put this sort of philosophical post here







The top pic is a Varis Supreme Widebody Supra Mk. IV. It's a car 15 years old, but in its time, it was a halo car that represented the peak of japanese sports car. Even with VERY aggressive aero . . . mere 18's look fine. I have no complaints. Visually, the car is pretty balanced.

Why? Because back then, the wheel wells weren't cartoonishly enlarged, they were designed with 18's in mind, so even with lots of stuff slapped onto the body, they still work. And that's a show car.

Contrast with the 2nd and 3rd pix, Amuse 370Z's. The middle car has 19's and STILL looks like the wheel are too small. The Amuse kit extends down, so but you can still see how proportionally, the wheel wells LOOK so much bigger than even 19's, particularly dark colored ones, look too small.

The 3rd car is 19 inch Te37 G2's and suffers from the same problem, magnified by white body/dark wheels/wheel gap.

Lighter color really helps. Galeforce 370Z with 20 inch TE37 in matte gummetal

Aired down


All of this is to say:

18's are too small
aero, stance and wheel color really matter

What a beautiful thread. I shed a tear from reading all of the centralized info. Subbed. Thank you!

If anyone else has suggestions for wheel manufacturers that have a good assortment of sizes, post them here and i can include them in the first post

but

If the website doesn't let you view a chart of the available widths and sizes don't even bother.

Another point is stock tire sizing too - the MK4 Supra initially came with 255/40R17s - a 25 inch tall tire. The Stock 370Z comes with a 245/45R18 or 275/35R19 rear - a 26.7 inch tall tire. So visually speaking, if you're going to upsize, and 18 makes sense for a Supra and a 19/20 makes sense for a 370Z to fill out the wheel wells.

That being said, I'm sticking with my 18s because of the better performance tire selection (read - cheaper), and also because I like more tire.
