Un-staggard z-1

[enjoisht]

Just wanted to see if anyone had some pics of an un-staggard set of 19" AZA z-1s? or even 18? and if so, is fender lip rolling required????

[Taz GTO]

You don't have to roll the fenders if you get unstaggered AZA's. The rolling is required because of the extra width, 275 vs 245.

I was told by Sean that 18X8.5 with a 40mm offset will fit all the way around, but is very close.

I want to get an unstaggered set as well, but im lowered so I am sure the fenders will still need work, correct?

[CliffyClown]

From what he e-mailed me, yes. He said I would have to cut/roll with my lowered car. I'm down 1 1/4" in the rear, but plan on going to 1/2", but still am going to cut just to make sure. My stock 18's with the 235's are very close right now.

[GOATCRUISER]

Yes, I have 3/8 in front and 1/2 in rear. I want these wheels though.

[CliffyClown]

Me too. As soon as I have fundage in a couple of weeks, I'm planning on ordering the Z-1s in black with the Toyo tires. Just haven't decided on staggard or unstaggard, but leaning toward staggard.

[GOATCRUISER]

Im getting unstaggered, dont want to exceed 245 if its already running it close. But if I get these, I will be selling my 18s and use that cash plus some for the z1s. I want the polished with chrome lip

I've been waiting to hear from Top Shelf for a week now. That's the same set-up I'm looking for. Do they have them in stock?

[PMD GTO]

Maybe this will help. :) I would love to get these too, but I would hate to have to cut the fenders. In the end I will probably end up going with VZ's.

I am still undecided lol, I love my 18s but love the z1s.

I'm not sure if they are in stock or not. Wheelmax shows them in stock, so that leads me to believe he can get them. It took a while for Sean to get back to me when I e-mailed him. Said he was out sick for a while... Don't know what's going on now, but I'm just going to call when I get the money and hopefully somebody will answer.

Lou, the stock 18's are nice and look REALLY good on your car but on my QSM they just don't seem to stand out enough. The color of the factory VX rims appears to have a hint of gray in it which I don't like. I would really like for them to stand out with a bright silver color, not chrome, just a bright vibrant silver which is why I'm probably going to make a switch sometime this spring.

[GOATCRUISER]

Thnx brother, but I have enjoyed them on yours as well. But it looks like we both might get a change coming spring =)

Wheelmax will not have the Z-1's in until April, even thought they do show as "in stock".

[shawnz28]

Wheelmax you will find has no idea of what they have what they dont. One thing they don't have is customer service. They have charged me once for a replacement set to cross ship me, and it took me finding out from Sean weeks later after not getting them, Wheelmax did not even have them to ship me while the charge sat on my card. Then once they did get them back once I took them off for the winter and shiped them to them, they called trying to charge me return shipping for the replacements, which I had to tell them they did not have to ship me again.

Definately go thru Sean if you want these. Top Shelf has been first rate with me.

What's up yall? Check my post awhile back.

Im running unstaggered 18's all the way around. I have been reading all these posts about how running the 8.5 rim with 245/40 in the rear will work without any rubbing. For me that just wasn't the case. I was rubbing very bad. Peace.

[enjoisht]

thanks for the help guys, i think i might just suck it up and with the 19x9.5 and get drag bags to help the rub out...later

[Striped04]

I have 8.5" Z-1's all the way around and they definately rubbed. Probably because I'm running 245/40 BFG KDW-NT's on them. The tires have a very square shoulder because I wanted them to look a little bigger. I cut my fenders back and they still rub if I hit a really harsh bump. I need some drag bags.
