Changing wheels on Q45a

Post by **xKnownShadowX** » Thu Mar 26, 2015 9:30 pm

Would it make the car act funny if I was to size up the rims? Same size all around of course; I really dislike the pans.

That is all, I know perhaps performance can be decreased or increased but that would be on the setup I decide to go with. Thanks in advance.

Not at all. I'm a big fan of using the newer Q wheels on the older model... I used 16" multi-hole chrome 99 wheels, a set of 5-spoke Anniversary 17's, and finally a set of 3rd-gen chrome Premium 18's on my '95 Q45t.

Using an OEM wheel gets you a high-quality wheel without the crazy price.

What wheels do you have in mind?

Only thing you'd want to be careful about especially on the active cars would be keeping the tire OD pretty close to the same. I don't see any major negative effects by going from the 15" wheels to 18" or so... An 18x7.5 with about 35-40mm offset with a 245-45-18 is a nice setup on that car.

A few years ago I found some 2002 Q45 wheels at a good price. Here's how it looks. Wheels are 18x7.5 with 35mm offset on 245/45/18 tires.

I was looking into the newer Q45 wheels or perhaps 350Z NISMO wheels. I'm not sure what other ones I like other than the NISMO ones and newer Q's, perhaps the G37 ones as well. Thanks for the responses will update with a photo once I get a hold of some.

The Z NISMO wheels may be questionable, fitment-wise.

Ended up picking up some G35 coupe and sedan wheels. Installed the sedan ones since the coupe has torn up tires.
