Advice for new wheels.

Looking to put some Volk GT-7's on, is 10.5 rear & 9.5 front out of the question?

I dont race, I dont auto-cross, I just cruise.

Oh yeah, what about my tire pressure sensor?

Thanx, AZZMAN

Oops, forgot to mention. I would like to go up to 19 inch wheels.

They are nice, but I prefer 5 spokes or mesh on sports cars. Just my opinion though.

Going to 19" wheels that are that wide you are going to have uneven tire wear. The Z has no camber adjustment from the factory so the inside of your tires will have a lot more wear than the outside. There are aftermarket camber and toe arms from 350EVO, Cusco, Stillen, Kinetix Racing, and Hotchkis Performance that will aleviate that problem. If you don't mind that then I say go for it. In my opinion, there are other wheels that look better on the car, but if those are the ones you like then get them. Do if for yourself, not for other people.

TPS is compatible with most Volks wheels, however, you should double check on that. That staggered set up is a good choice, and if money isn't a problem, then get the 19" (since tires are crazy expensive at that size). Check the other 350Z forums for correct offsets on the GT7 so you don't rub the fenders.
