Why 20's?

Fern to the Z · 04-17-2011, 02:05 AM

If i want more performance than aesthetics (or go) would 19's be a better option than the 20's?

19's will out perform 20's and 18's out perform 19's. For all out performance go 18, for all out looks go 20 and for a mix of both go 19.

Thanks Alchemy 19's it is, with the right tire I can get the look on 19's and not sacrifice on performance, I would love 20's but my Z is my daily driver so I always take performance into consideration.

more show then go is my plan on this car

Going with the F.I. TDX CBE with CF mufflers, since the mufflers sit pretty low definitely not planning on lowering.

isteppedindun · 04-17-2011, 01:11 PM

yeah i plan on getting swifts once i move back to texas so i have considered that into the right offsets

Fern to the Z · 04-17-2011, 06:45 PM

Forged wheels are expensive, might take me a while to save up and buy them, but while save, I will continue to research if going with 19x9+19x11
what is the optimal tire size combo (front/back) to go with, 255-35-19+285-35-19 sound right?

Those sizes work. Id go bigger on the rear though, 295 or 305

Fern to the Z · 04-18-2011, 07:34 AM

alchemy whats the biggest tire i can run in a 19 X 9? can i go 275/35/19? if so then I'll go 305/35/19 on the rear.

onefastz · 05-20-2011, 10:53 PM

I'm also wondering the same thing. I've got the Forgestars on order in 19x9 and 19x11. I've decided on 305/30/19 for the rear, and am stuck between 255/35/19 and 265/30/19 for the fronts, can't decide!

Alchemy · 05-20-2011, 11:31 PM

Either should work, I went 255.

Would 305 on the rear and 255 on the front be proportional or would it look weird
