Whats the best inch to get?

aZn93 · 11-18-2009, 12:03 AM

I just recently got a 2004 touring edition 350z. I want some new rims on the car so I was really just wondering what sized rims are the best? It has stock 17s and I was really wanting 20s but then again I've heard that the handling and everything feels different and is affected? Which is the best inch to get without sacrifcing looks or performance for that matter. Is it fine to put 20s on this car?

You can put on 20s but...be prepared to get flamed ( most of the Z intelligencia despise 20s on a Z!!!).

If you are performance oriented 18s will actually be the "best" way to go.
I went with 19s which are a mix between performance and show.

i would go 18s all day....remember its not an escalade...and i dont know what your preference is but i would stay away from chrome rims as well...some aluminum 18s would be the best route imo...but im thinking more about performance...if it is just for show then go for the 20s

I would definitely go 19s. That is about 99% of the Z's out there run.

18's. Saves some money when you need replacements, which can be quite often, at least for some of us, lol. Definitely NOT 20's!

Depending on your tire budget, 18's will be less expensive. either way, go with 18 or 19 and go with 245 or 255 fronts and 275 or bigger on the rear depending on rear rim width.

id say 19's also... 20's look good but IMO they dont belong on a Z unless you use staggard fitment and go 20 in the rear and 19 up front..
