Hey everyone I have a wheel question

[David_VG30DETT]

Hey everyone after a few trips up the Dragons Tail ( I live about an 1/2 hour from there) I realized my driving
skills required newer technology in the Rubber dept.
Maybe simply go to new 18" wheels + low profile rubber (NITTO ?) for
those weekends I need to keep the engine seals lubed and switch back to the OEM's for show and go stuff.

I would like to go as low profile and wide/staggered as possible w/ 18" WITHOUT use of any spacers
adapters or such and definitely without having to modify any inner wheel well areas or roll sheet metal.

What will fit ? Any suggestions or links to Wheel web sites which will accommodate this ?
Trying to keep the set less than 2K for some decent forged (not cast) Wheels and Summer Tires.

Bump for David.

Just wondering -- Would the OEM forged Wheels off a 2013 370Z fit mine ? The Bolt spacing 'looks' right but what about offset and clearances ?

If they would w/o any mods or spacers I would be in the market to buy a set off someone with a 370 who went to the extreme aftermarket wheels.
I think the Bronze power-coating would look good against my Cobalt Green 300ZX.

arent the new 370z wheels 19? thought you wanted 18? i would probably look for a 245/40/18 up front on a 8.5" wheel and a 285/35/18 in the back on a 9.5 or 10.5 inch wheel. you should be able to fit everything depending on offsets you buy with no work. that would give you a huge staggered look, but it seems you might be into the performance of the car, which unless your tires are old and crappy, i bet an upgraded suspension and a 350z big brake upgrade up front with some steel lines and a cylinder brace would get you better results though, imo, for a similar price.

Nismo 350z track Rays forged wheels. You might need to roll the fenders depending what size tires you run. Someone else might have a better answer for you though.

What's wrong with rolling the fenders? you can fit an 18x10 under the wells with plenty of tire if you do.

[BigTDogg (MA)]

On a TT rear with 18x10 +45 you can fit a 285 without touching the metal.

I'd avoid 19s for performance and aesthetics reasons. And the cost of tires.

18x9 +35mm all around will yield the best performance and neutral handling.

Decided to keep her assembly line stock and original in all respects




.... but might be looking for a '95 TT to build up

Great idea David! How has your car been treating you?
