Bare Speed Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 has anyone tried to use 19in wheels on the 240Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG58 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'm sure there has but none come to mind. IMO It's gonna look really funky with that much rim on that small of a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonethirty Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Only Z's that look good with 19's are z32-z34. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19762802+2 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) I think the biggest anyone has ever gone is 18 inches, and they were 350z wheels. You couldn't lower your car because I doubt they would even fit on the suspension or fit under the body very well without modifications. Found a thread full of pics of 18inch rims on Z's. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php?/topic/68104-req-pics-of-18-wheels-on-s30-240260280z/ Edit: Found the 350z rims. As you can see they are a pretty tight fit, and if I remember correctly needed some spacers and other mods.

B00STDZ Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Those are 18's with a big tire. You can run 19's in like a 45 or 35 series... Those are 19's on that 240z. Edited July 21, 2010 by B00STDZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjhines Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 You guys should really look into this wheel and tire calculator. It will clear up a lot of questions about fitment, and what various parameters actually look like and how they relate to each other. http://www.rimsntires.com/rt_specs.jsp You can figure out stuff that fits... but you might not be able to BUY many of the combinations you think will work.

texis30O Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 That is a lot of weight added........that is totally not necessary. You can accomplish the same look with 18" wheels, the right, tire size, offset, or just general fitment in a tire and wheel package. Yeah it is great to sit on the corner and boast that " I have 19" wheels on my classic Z." But when push comes to shove you will have TONS of sacrifice reguarding drivability, stopping, acceleration, and mpg...... but hey if you are into that thing then by all means go ahead. If you chose to do it then get a QUALITY WHEEL. Iforge, DPE, JLine, HRE, Volk, Ray's, something good I had a set of 19's on my IS 300 that were Ray's...It looked sweet but man was it a pain in the ass....

B00STDZ Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Here's a car that we recently finished with 19's Pictures of the rear? Curious on the interesting looking rear spoiler. Also what are the rear fenders? YZ? I assume the fronts are subtle z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kj280z Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) Pictures of the rear? Curious on the interesting looking rear spoiler. Also what are the rear fenders? YZ? I assume the fronts are subtle z. I have a ton of pics, but the owner plans to make a big splash with the car so for now, that's the only sneak peak ya get... YZ rears that have been highly customized including the fender lips and the dog legs, subtle Z fronts, custom G Nose with one of a kind air dam - the rear has skyline GTR led tail lights, completely smoothed, with a custom wing that started life as a GM product with a rear led third brake light... It has a ton more custom touches including shaved rain gutters, gills with grill, and a bunch of other things - it's interesting to see people walk around it... takes several viewings to notice it all I was surprised to see some of the comments about 19 inch wheels so I took the liberty of posting an opposing view - of coarse these are custom made but if done correctly they work... I don't think it would look right on a fairly stock fendered Z, but once you flare things out it can be tastefully done... and BTW this thing handles awesome with these wheels on it... See if you notice the fuel filler door Edited August 5, 2010 by kjones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudeboy Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Mr. Jones, That Z has become my screensaver ! This is Hybridz.org and sometimes I read stuff that goes against what the guys who started this website is all about( IN MY HONEST OPINION). It is good to see some guys stepping out with some different wheel/tire combinations. I ran out of my budget to go with 19 inch wheels and tires and again the Black Z above is a good looking Z.
