Hi there,
I'm pretty new to all the wheels stuff but I'm looking to get some 19" wheels for my 350z and was after some advice. I have a 350Z 54 plate GT pack in blue, which I think has 18" Touring V1 wheels. Looking at the standard specs on the 350z wiki that means I've got these on it: Front Size: 18x8.0 Offset: +30mm Weight: 26.56lbs Tire: 225/45-18 Rear Size: 18x8.0 Offset: +30mm Weight: 26.56lbs Tire: 245/45-18
I am thinking of buying Schmidt Gotham 19" wheels, but before I do I had a few questions that I'm hoping someone can answer for me. Firstly they are available in 19" x 8.5" all round or 19 x 8.5" front with 19 x 9.5" rears.
If I had wider rears what difference would this make to the car? Would it understeer more or be about neutral to how it is as standard?
If I went with an all roud 8.5" set up would it just be the same as driving the standard 18" wheels pretty much?
What tyres would be a good choice to go with the wheels, currently I'm running Bridgestone RE050A tyres, but RImstyle don't do these. So I was looking at the Yoko Advan Sport (V103) or the Michelin Supersports. What ones would be better? Do you think there would be better tyres out there for me?
Generally I drive the car for work on the motorway, but I like to make the most of the car when I see some curvier tarmac to have a bit of fun on.
Any help would be greatly received, I've read some of the wheel guides on offset, spacers, etc. but still not sure quite what sort of set up I should be getting.
Cheers,
Steve
