I've known for some time now that I will eventually need something wider in the back to help me put power to the ground.

I have pretty strict requirements on wheels, so I don't have many options. I want to stay with an 18" rim, and it has to clear my Brembos, and I want something lighter then stock. I also want the widest wheel/tire I can fit on the back (10.5" - 11"). Rolling my fenders doesn't bother me at all.

I'm mostly looking for straightline performance, but I don't want to sacrifice the cars handling in the turns.

Right now I'm looking at the SSR Comp-H (18x9F +31, 18x10.5R +43). Anyone have feedback for these?

Also, what would be my optimal tire size? I want to maintain the stock height of the tires, so I would imagine I would want to stick with the stock size, but obviously with a much wider tire?

I honestly don't know anything about wheels/tires so I appreciate any help/feedback anyone can give me.

Thanks,

 

Since your sticking to an 18'' rim what about Work Emotion?


Emotion on a Z in gunmetal...



they are really light and forged. Another light/forged wheel is the Volk CE 28N and I believe these wheels even let you keep your TPS (if thats even an issue..).

The new Emotion XD9 is a nice set too

 

^^true statement...they give you a lip, not sure how much they weigh though...check out my350z, they have a few Z's w/ these on...
