God bless the internet and it's ability to conversion skills that translate japanese to english while adding 11hp to the wheel. After much searching and converting I found volks website

http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/indexe.html

Upon finding this website I found that they make the Volk GTS in 18 x 8. As shown here.

http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bin/...?modelName=GTS

Now, I just have to find out how the hell to get them here.

19's with 35 series tires will look like ***. 30 series tires look about as thick as rubber bands. The ride quality will go to crap since there's not much tire there to absorb the road. The road noise will be obnoxious. As others ahve already said, 19's are too big. They below on pickup trucks, not Z's.

On the other hand, I just looked at their other available 18's and they make an 18 x 10. I'll get it figured out this weekend.

I suggest wider up front. 8.5 would work better. You could go up to 255's on the 8.5's.

I'd have to put on 18 x 9. They don't make an 18 x 8.5

check out AZA wheels

i wouldn't go to 255's up front a tire that wide will "track" grooves on the road a lot more than a narrower tire. I have 245s up front and they are 35 series. Roads that are rutted or slanted a bit are much more noticable with the bigger tires, Stock 225s aren't that bad but then again they are what? 45 series? and that is what they are engineered for. Anyway, goodluck and take your time to decide what ya want cause its a lot of money to be disappointed with later on.

I looked at my friends Z with the 18 19 combo, and I took pics, but they're to big to upload. I'm gonna mess with them later tonight and try to post them. I don't know what to put on mine. I like the offset sizes, but the tire on the rear is pretty short. I'm split 50/50 on going with 18 x 8, 19 x 9.5
and 18 x 8 and 18 x 10. But at least I know what wheel and color. Volk GTS Mercury Silver.

fwiw: I'm going 255/35's all around on my 18x8's. They'll clear fine.
