about to buy some rims...
i am plannin to buy some rims real soon but i am not sure if i should go 18 or 19... i just don't want any rubbing against the fender.. i am not planning to race with them either so what would you all recommend... i really love the clean, big rim tuner look on 350z's and stuff so i was going for the same type of look... i don't want the wheel gap either so if i go 19 will i still have to lower the car a little??i want 19"s but will everything still work accordingly, like no wheel rub and things of that nature...

Re: about to buy some rims...
i think 19s are pushin it, cant remeember 4 sure, but i think my friends 3s(first gen) had 18s on it with 245/40/18's and that was pretty close, and yes, even w/ rims that size, you'll still have more wheel gap than you think

Re: about to buy some rims...
Bigger rims DO NOT equal less wheel gap.
For instance On the stock base Stealth 15 inch rims there are 205/65/15 On the stock 16 inch rims there are 225/55/16 or 245/50/16 Stock 17 is 245/45/17 Stock 18 is 245/40/18 The numbers change with each size but the tire is staying the same(or close to the same) diameter. Stick with 18's and for a SOHC the only real way to lower it is with coilovers. Heres mine on Megan Racing coilovers. They are TRUE coilovers and not the sleeved Ground Control or ebay type.
