If they are rip off SSRs, I doubt they weigh only 22lbs.

Maybe they are not ripoffs at all? Maybe its the real deal. Lots of people on craiglist sell things and don't really know what they have. Dont know till I go see them

I run 245s up front, no problem at all. I would be curious about the offsets, too.

Ok, your 350z wheels have a sweet offset on your sedan because the edge of the rim is almost flush with your fenders. If the 19" wheels are tucked into the fenders similar to stock sedan wheels, they will appear to be smaller. Also, 19" wheels on a sedan sitting at stock height will make the car look "lifted" (not a good look). 19" tires are expensive to replace too, even more expensive than 20". If you are tired of the 350z wheels, try having them painted or chromed to change things up a bit. Good luck!

buy them and let me and 3truman come take a look. lol

Just check them out in person and get back with us. Being on an alitma i'm sure the offets are pretty high +40-45 most likely. You really want to have +27 or so with a 8" wide rim, or +30 with a 8.5" wide. If you wanna poke the rim and add neg camber you go lower than that.

one of you should just roll up with me and come take a look cause idk **** bout offset and what not.. I like the style of the rim they look clean.. Ill take a look tonight the dude doesnt know much about rims so I have a feeling they are a pretty week offset and I am trying to go pretty aggressive with camber and all.. Cant I add spacer?

if the rim wasnt so wide dont you think he would prob have 235 or 225 tires on it?

I thought you wanted to get into the fitment game?

These are not what you want.

And there is no way they are SSR. People who buy SSR wheels, buy them because they know what they are buying, they won't let them go for the price of one wheel.

Keep looking.

^ +infinity

Save up a little more and buy some Varrstoens to get the ball rolling for you, figure out your offsets and what you wanna do.
