Maz, 19x9 +25 will fit very nicely on your car.
Since you're lowered you'll have some natural camber from the drop so you won't have any rubbing issues at all, especially if you go with 245/40/19 tires all around. You could even throw on a pair of 255's in the rear for a little more rubber.

Ok guys I found out as well that the wheels have a 73.1mm Bore size, so I will be needing the rings, I've already ordered a set from Z1 performance: http://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-t...c-rings-4.html . I've just got one question, the guy told me that the bore size is 73.1mm while the adapter is 73mm, now I know it's probably a silly question but would the 1mm matter? I doubt it but I'm just trying to re-assure myself

Thanks for the reassurance Borna,

Now all I've got to get are the bolts, lol any idea what kind I'll need for these sizes?

Anytime bro.

What do you mean by bolts? Lug nuts?
If so then get any style lug nut that you like in a 12x1.25 size. Just make sure you get tuner lugs and don't use the OEM ones cause they don't fit properly.
Muteki lug nuts are a good option if you aren't looking to spend too much.

What color are the wheels?

I was thinking of getting these lug nuts:

The wheels are Dark Gun Metallic.

and I thought you had to get different size lug nuts like on Euro cars like my old Audi.

I also just realized there are two types of Lug nuts that I have to choose from:

R26 Racing Lock & Nut Composite (26 grams)

R40 Racing Nut Composite (40 grams)


http://www.amplifiedmotorsport.com/i...=7&subcatid=50

So which one should I choose? Because I have no idea what the difference is

ah ok I think I understand the difference:

R26: 16 Lug Nuts + 4 Locks
R40: 20 Lug Nuts and no locks

I think I'll go for the R26 just for added security

Lug nut sizes don't change when you change wheels. They change according to bolt sizes with different cars.

The R26 is the short lug nut at 35mm while the R40 is the extended lug nut at 50mm.
If you want the lugs to show you should go for the R40, especially since Neo Chromes are open ended. They should both come with lock nuts.
R40 on the left and R26 on the right:


Definitely go for the R40s, otherwise there's no point in spending $260 for flashy lug nuts if they won't even show. Just ask them for the R40s with lock nuts.

Amplified has the R40s with lock nuts. You just have to read the description to see it.

Here are two cheaper sites you can get the Neo Chromes from.

Borna, you're a smart fella you are lol

I'm used to Euro cars which don't have all these fiddly things but thanks for the info, I was kinda thinking along the same lines as what you said, but thanks for clarifying

Hey guys ok I have another question on these rims.

Ok so they are 19x9" Offset +25

Now all 4 rims will be the same size, so I want to play around with the tire dimensions to get the tires slightly fatter/wider in the rears than the fronts.

Currently the above rims have 255/35 installed on all of them, Does anyone know what's the max I can go on the 19x9" rims? can I fit 265? or even 275 tires on the rear?

I think you are better off checking the specs of the tire you want to put on the rears. Manufacturers usually publish the min-max range of wheel width the tire can safely be mounted on.

Tirerack is a good place for a lot of that info all in one place instead of the mfg sites.

Sorry I didn't reply to your last message Maz, didn't see the thread.

I'd say your best choice is to go for something similar to OEM sizes just in 19's and keep them the same all around. The wheels you're looking to run are semi-aggressive in offset so you don't want to risk any rubbing.

You have to remember that the overall diameter of the wheel/tire setup should be similar to stock so you keep the VDC in check.

I'd say go for 245/40/19 all around, that way you can even rotate your wheels to get better tread wear and longer tire life.

If you really want to go for a staggered tire setup, then your best bet is 235/40/19 up front and either 255/35/19 or 265/35/19 (preferably the latter if there's clearance) out back.

Ok I found this on tirerack, i selected my car and selected the sport package 18" that's what I currently have, then I selected optional 19" and it gave me the below sizes:



So I guess if I was to get 275 PS2s then I'd have to check the specs of the rear 275 tire and if it would fit on a 9" wide rim correct?

Do you think I'd be close to rubbing with 265 on the rear?

Thanks for the feedback dude, I wouldn't want to go down to 235 on the front I think it'll make the ride really harsh, I think 245 would be the lowest I'd be willing to go with the fronts.

I think I'll leave them at 255 for now until they wear out and change the rear to 265 if that's possible
