Kaygee, you should know by now that 95% of the people on this list hate Chrome wheels so really your never going to get a positive answer on them. Your best bet is pick the chrome wheels you like and live with them.

I just put this exact setup on my car TODAY!!! I'm really happy, as I'm sure you guys can imagine...so, tell me what you think!!! ^-^

**And in case you're wondering - YES, it rubs...in the rear. The fronts, running the stock Coupe size is totally fine. The rear though, at 245/40/19...combined w/ the lower offset...makes the tires sit almost flush w/ the fender. And, as low as my car is, it will touch w/ so much as a pebble in the road. So, I had to roll the fender. So, for those who are contemplating putting these wheels on your Sedan...either leave it stock height and never carry any passengers in there, or roll your fenders, or get 235/40 tires (the stretched tire should clear the fender).

^-^

wow! this looks so awsome! i want to do that so badly, but i do not want any problems either.

i wonder if i work it through the dealer, and get 4 coupe front wheel and tires....so you wouldnt have to deal with the back tire problems. those wheels look so good on the sedan...i wont be lowering my car if i did that though

Since I have 6MT, my car has the "Sport Suspension Pkg"...but, I changed the springs out for Espelir GT units that were 350Z application.

YES - with the rear fenders rolled, no rubbing

So leemme get his straight.
you have 19's all around w/the 245 tire's of the Coupe. I plan on doing this, so I'm just tryingt o get it all straight BEFORE I do it. SOnt want to have to roll the fenders if I dont have to.

Note to self. Install 235's on 19' wheels before install on car.
BUT I'de still like to see the Jut 19's in th back and 18's still in the front. Would like to see what th look is.

ZX....

It "shouldn't" rub...but lets say you've got 3 big friends riding in the back...if you take a corner real hard & the car is leaning major...it "might" rub then.

My suggestion is to replace the rear tire w/ 235/40/19 size when the original 245/40/19 wears out. Then you won't have rubbing issues FOR SURE.

ZX7...

No, the tire sizes are: 225/40/19 in front, and 245/40/19 in back

If you're looking to avoid the rubbing, go with 235/40/19 in the back....the front can stay at 225/40/19.

Hey, send me down some good 'ol garlic from Gilroy! I love driving through there...hmmm, time for a road trip to SF! ^-^
