Hayd350 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Having Driven on 18s and 19s 18s win for driving and 19s win for posing If you go 19s try to get a set up thats 255/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear as them sizes are the closest to factory rolling radius as you can get my 18s Your car sits so nicely on those 18s mate! It really does, this setup pushes me away from 19's. Be interested in knowing the specs, offsets and tyre sizes for this setup, combined with the arch gap it all just looks meaty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonty88 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Agreed Steve! Thats why I love the stance of those 18s, although im staying at stock height so my car will just look like a 4x4 Bunny Those Panasport wheels are the sex, my favorite wheels but literally impossible to get hold of I would have those over any other wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikevv Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hey guys, Had my Z for a couple of months now so starting to seriously think more about changing the alloys. For ages ive been deciding over Rota Torques, Grid Drifts and MXR's. However I saw this pic recently and it started to get me thinking about the possiblity of 19's. So im just wanting to know, is there any problems with fitting them straight on? (Rubbing, arch rolling, suspension, certain tyre profiles, etc etc...) I dont plan to lower my car as I already scrape the odd speed bump / curb at stock height! Thanks guys Ps. does anybody have any experience of running the Linear Corse wheels below? Hi guys, I'm new to the forum, but these wheels look great! I was thinking 19's are overkill, but seeing these I have changed my mind! Going to research some sizing and tyre costs and weights, compared to 18" Rays. Like the look of them, but would like to see them in person ideally first.

Ian Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Both 18s and 19s will look a bit crap without lowering IMO. I've had both and I thought the look of wider 18s looked a bit monster truckish before lowering. Looks a million times better after lowering though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinyflier Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 How much did you lower by? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonty88 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 I would lower but having scraped a few speed bumps around my area (at stock height) Il just keep it as is, just isnt practical for me. Mike heres a link to a website in the UK that stock them: http://www.revolution247.com/catalogue/shop-by-category-alloy-wheels-linea-corse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna have to look at 265 or 275's now!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 See the For Sale thread from GT4 Zed yesterday. He is selling a set of alloys that would look great on your car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arken78 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Sorry I'm late to the party but how far did you get with this Jonty? Loving those Linear Corses and I'm thinking of 19", 9 up front and 10 back but looking for tyre advice. What would you guys recommend so the walls don't look too rolled back? Payco's set up looks about right but I know he's running half an inch wider at the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im currently still looking at wheels as im waiting for the funds, hoping to purchase some in the next couple of months, just being extra picky as they have to look / fit right. Im still unsure on the linear course wheels as I haven't seen a UK car with them on, and wanting to know whether they will clear the Brembos etc. However if they do fit then I wont see many driving around with the same setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arken78 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Cheers gang, 100% right Jonty! And I can promise you I'll be a hundred-and-odd miles south (for the most part) if we go for the same. ; ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
