15" Wheels

Would swapping out my OEM 16" wheels on my 97 Z make the car sit too low? Think about purchasing a set of 15" American Racing wheels with B F Goodrich Raised White Letter T/A Tires. Any info would be appreciated.

Man I wish I had some answers for you on this. I know my 02 was almost too low to drive on 18s, but that was on a 2" drop.

Depends on the tires you pick to go on them.

What size tires? It depends on the side wall.

Often a 15" rim and tire is taller than my stock 19" rim and tire

Smile Many Thanks.

Thanks I was thinking about a set of those retro looking Goodyear raised white letter tires on a set of 15" American Racing rims with the BLACK large 5 spoke centers. I will discuss with the Tire Rack sales person to see if they could give a overall height e.g. tire on rim

Thank you all and "Long may we ALL run"
