just to answer any "?'s" you guys might ask.
Rims sizes: FRONT 19"x8.5" REAR 19"x9.5"
Tire sizes : Front 245/35/R19's Rear 275/30R19's (rear are 30 for clearance) Tires are also BRIDGESTONE FUZION.. they are great and handle like a wet dream!!! they also have a very rounded sidewall that helps the rear end fit under my rolled fender...you know for when you really get on it and the car sits like a well trained german shepard

Outstanding!! Looking at the Z-1's in black myself.

[GOATST]

Nice Rims!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Summerwolf]

if you don't mind me asking how much? I don't know how I'm liking the fake rivets, but if those rims were just smooth faced not with those rivets I'd be on it like a fat kid on cake...

they look damn good on ya car

[Aramis]

Those rims and the Drift Rs are the absolute best looking wheel for our car IMHO. Those Z-1s are like sex.

Any paint cracking issues on the fneder roll? If and when I get mine I'm trying to decide whether to roll or cut.

[CoppeR]

Sweet! Def need more pics!

[qwkgoat]

Very nice set-up!

[bleek]

Love mine....although my Toyos seem to suck for traction when it's super cold out.

Man....IBM is so my favorite color, surpasses my MBM in my opinion.

[Silver-GTO-Monster]

Did you need to roll your fenders with those tires?

How much are the price defferent between 18's and 19's?

Yea he did, I don't know what he's talking about where he says he rolled them to "be safe." You 100% absolutely have to roll them in order to fit 275s on the 9.5" wide ones. I think you can successfully fit 245s if you go 19x8.5" all the way around though.

Are those the chrome lip Z-1's?

[odie3283]

Do you mean to tell me that you bought these from Top Shelf??? I've called them several times this week without a call back or answer...Thought they were closed or something...:(

[AnthonyGTO]

Yeah Got Em From Top Shelf.. Call Them Now, Before Sean Was Out Sick, I Just Got Luck And Caught Him On His First Day Back

Yeah They Are The Z-1's With That Chrome Lip. And I Believe In Order To Get This Set With The Wider 9.5" Wheels In The Back And The 8.5" In Front, You Have To Get The 19's So I Did.. Other Wise I Would Have Had To Use 245's All Around.. I Had That On My First Car Then It Got Totalled So I Decided On The Second Time Around To Get The Bad Ass Looking Staggerd Setup..

Bleek Is Completely Correct.. I Would Have Been Screwed If Not Having Them Rolled.. I Actually Just Have A Good Friend Who Did It For Me. We Used A Hammer (yeah I Know Sounds Stupid, Right?) Well It Worked Like A Charm.. We Heated The Paint And Expected A Little Of The Fender Lip Paint To Come Off.. Which Did. We Ended Up Just Spraying Some Rubberized Undercoating To Prevent Any Rust And To Seal Up The Paint. Worked Great.

Rims Costed Like 1,305.00 Shipped Which Included The Valve Stems And Every Single Locking Nut All 20.. Which Is Fine Cause It Comes With The Tool. Only Took About 4 Days To Get Them Cause Of Mlk Day.

Best Of All They Are Super Super Easy To Clean.. Not Like All Chrome Wheels That I Had Before.

Thanks For All The Compliments, Keep Em Comin :-D

[Chevelleguy]

Just a tip - you might want to re-visit the rubberized undercoating solution because that WILL NOT :nono: stop rust if it's sprayed over bare metal......

[GOATCRUISER]

I too am thinking of getting these, I cant decide between the 19s or 18s though. Also, with a 3/8" drop in front and 1/2" in rear, would they work? Of course work would have to be done on the fender but would it work?

GREAT LOOKING GOAT BTW Anthony, looks sharp

[GoatChips]

I have the 18" staggered on now, 245 in front and 265 in back, and, like everyone says, def. need to roll or cut the fender. I rolled mine and put some Pedders springs in back. I know of one guy that didnt roll/cut at all and put the drag bags in back with about 7 psi. I would have went that route if I were to do it again, since I have some paint underneath that chipped. Didn't want to use the heat gun since it warps the paint slightly where you use it, probably not a biggy for most but I'm a little anal about the lines of my car.

[CliffyClown]

Outstanding!! Looking at the Z-1's in black myself.

I'm going with the Black Z-1s on my BOM as well. I was never big on the black wheels, but I think it will look killer with the color. I should get them on order right after the first of February, but won't be able to put them on "full-time" until it warms up and the snow melts, but might put them on for some pics!

AnthonyGTO, your car looks sick! Great choice!!!

[rotten23]

Looks great. Nice choice.

[tigertamer]

nice rims and i like your choice of color!

[TrixR4Kids]

New chrome lips really looks nice with IBM. :ftw:

[LS2-GTO]

How close are the rear tires to rubbing on the suspension side? Any room to run more offset and clear the fenders more?

[fuzzybam]

This thread made made me choose to get the Z-1s for my car...

[bnvus]

Looks great. Welcome to the club!!

[bigdave22385]

yeah looks hot.

[AnthonyGTO]

the 19" rims and the 275/30/R19's actually have the same rolling diameter as the stock 17's with those nasty balloon tires on them... so it sits just like it used to.. get rounded sidewalls on your tires and the clearance won't be an issue i got BRIDGESTONE FUZIONS.. everything seems to be just fine! i'm looking into getting a stiffer rear suspension just cause i like to corner better, but i dont' like how the car SQUATS down so far, so i need to get some STIFFER springs.. i'm not looking to get those DRAG BAGS< cause i really dont DRAG race, i just like to get squirrely from time to time :-)
