Upgrading To 19 Wheels

[rawzz_v35]

Hi all,

I'm a newbie here just bought my 01 v35 sedan few weeks back. I was thinking to go for a wheel upgrade and was looking at few 19"s. Could anyone please tell me what is the preferred widths and offsets (front & rear) i should be looking for if i don't want to lose much ride comfort and don't want to do any cutting or expensive body work.

I am hopping to lower my car with 350z springs in the future so should i consider that when I look for wheels as well? And where can i buy the 350z springs from? Nissan dealer or?

sorry guys if these topics are posted before tried to find but couldn't find much information. Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers,

Raween

Thanks Nismo.. they were nice wheels but not just the look im looking for. Just wondering when you had them in the car did you have to roll the fenders and everything? or was is just put em on and drive? And how was the ride comfort compared to the stock 17"s?

I had 19s on mine, didn't have to roll and fenders or anything like that, simply put em on and they were the perfect offsets.

I used King Springs from Fulcrum Suspensions for a 350z coupe, lowered the car around an inch which was enough to tuck the rear wheels inside the arch.

The wheel specs were: Front 19" x 8.5" +38, Rear 19" x 9.5" +45, checkout the pics and you'll see how good it looks.

Thanks a lot for the info and the pictures goldv35 really appreciate it..

Just wondering how was the ride comfort with 19"s plus lowered springs? was it a big difference or ?

Well the springs were rated as 15% stiffer than stock and the tyres are obviously lower profile so there is some loss of smoothness/comfort on rough roads.

This is offset by the handling being more responsive and 'sporty', and looking good of course.
