:iagree:
Stick with the same type of tire tires front and rear to avoid any handling issues. Some on here have reported having handling issues with mixed tires.

Thank you for the advice. Thank everyone for their thoughts. It's helped me out together a better idea of what I should do and consider the reason why I wanted some things.

:iagree:

Way stickier than the stock S001 when Cups are up to temp.

When they are NOT up to temp, then you are just wasting/wearing the rubber without the benefits.

Wore my RE11 down to wear bar on 15k street miles. Cup will last half that. If you drive fast on coarse pattern concrete, they will evaporate even quicker. A GT3 owner reported 3190 miles in that condition (tirerack review).

Ok, so you guys talked me out of the cups. I think RE-11's will probably be what I go with. I also think I am going to go with the forgestar cf5v 19X10 up front with 285/35 and either 19X12 or 20X12 in the back. I do think I like the staggard setup but not sure if a 325/25-20 in the back would be too low profile or look good. Anybody have input on that?

325/25/20 is 26.4 inches tall
OEM Nismo rear is 285/35/19, which is 26.9 inches tall

Half inch difference seems perfectly fine to me

Just saw on tire rack that RE-11 doesnt come in 20" sizes. Foiled.

Why are we upsizing the rim diameter in the rear?

I like the staggerd looks. It's common for sport cars to have a larger diameter wheel in the back and I personably like the idea. Wouldn't do it if I saw one done that way and it didn't look nice or if it seemed out of place. Have an opinion one way or another?

as long as the tire sizing is ok, itll be fine
just that most Z people are super conservative and dont wanna try diff things

Corvette stagger's the wheel size to keep the same amount of sidewall F/R.
1" differential & the front wheel openings are smaller than the rear: as on the Z,,,they are the same size.
But what ever floats your boat. ��

I have double-staggered on my Z, but the sizes are 19x10 & 20x11 w/ 275/35 and 305/30 Michelin PSS. I've always preferred the look so I've done it on all of my cars for the past few years (MK3 Supra, S14, GS430, now the Z).

Fitment Question:
Ran into a good deal on a set of wheels I really like - only concern is the front offset.
20X9.5 +45 all around with 245/35/20 Tires. Thoughts?

stay away
sunk as hell

dont buy wheels because they're a good deal

dig through threads until you find the sizing you want and target wheels from there

should never be based on "oh hey they look cheap!"

those wheels are probably for a lexus

The "Will it fit?" thread
 

Im looking at Niche Veronas. 18/45(or 40) 9.5 and 8 with a +40mm in both the front.
These will be rounded up with 275/18 and 245/18 would these clear my brakes?

09 touring WITHOUT sport brakes. Basically a Base touring.

If not, what offset am i looking for? Somethng closer to +20? Or less than +20?

Hopefully looking for something near OEM without any spacers or anything. BUT if it is needed to run spacers. What size am i looking at for front and rear. Will these make it stick too far out of the fenders?

i have a 10 base on megan lowering spring and thinking about going 18x9.5 +22 with 265/40/18 in the front and 18x10.5 +15 with 295/40/18. What are your opinions help anyone !
