..i wanna change my Z tires and rims and im wondering what reliable shop you guys can recommend me in order to get rims/tires with given dimensions 19"x8.5 in Front, 19" x9.5 in the Rear or 8.5x19 ET35 235/35ZR19 front and 10x19 ET20 285/30ZR19 rear ??
 
..thanks guys..any GPS coordinates or full adress so i can extract GPS coordinates ?
 
Just go to Kota Damansara...look for Sunway Giza. If you miss Speedline which is just opposite Giza, there are many massage centres offering tip top services for your pleasure..enjoy

..side question..considering that rims and tires i wanna install are bigger than current setup i have, does that mean that car ground clearance will be a bit higher (i would love to) ??
 
Go to Damansara to change the new rims/tyres...........i thing For winter driving you want smaller/narrower tires than oem for traction.

Specification  Sidewall  Radius  Diameter  Circumference    Revs/km  Difference
225/45-17         101mm   317mm     634mm         1993mm        502        0.0% (Stock)
245/40-17          98mm   314mm     628mm         1972mm        507       -1.0% (Staggered rear)
235/35-19          82mm   324mm     647mm         2033mm        492        2.0%
285/30-19          86mm   327mm     654mm         2053mm        487        3.0%

Rule of thumb is rolling circumference must not exceed +/- 3% for speedo meter to report a realistic speed, and the above options seem compliance.

Overall tyre diameter increases from 634mm to 654mm, you should experience an extra 20mm ground clearance at the rear, but 13mm for the front. :4:

Best check with those who are currently running this setup because our DSC is very sensitive and can only work within specific tolerance. Another safe bet is refer to your B-pillar tyre size and air pressure reference label.
 
I salute u man. I've only gotten my Z for one week. Got 18" on it n already I am regretting my purchase. Malaysia simply ain't got no autobahn. Got 18" on my w211 e240 but it ride ok. Overall suspension tune more humane. Other ride is a Jap old school Supra with GAB shocks/springs also tolerable. But my Z? Ride shit. Looks ... Wow! Now undecided. Keep or sell?

Ok enof complaining. About your questions, may I suggest this. Go to www.mybenz.org. This guy called Renngrun. I think he probably has a Phd. in tyre and rim calculations. Meanwhile I hope he streets in Msia will be resurfaced. Dream on.
 
..whats wrong with your Z, considering that you are not happy with ride in it ?
