Has anyone put a set of 19" wheels on their 240? will they even fit without major modification? Was looking to get a set of 370z wheels for my s-13.... they are hot! but at 19x10 rears hummmmm.....

The 350Z's 19x10's have a +30 offset, so they won't fit up front without a spacer. I've seen them on an s14, but not an s13. The S13's wheel wells are smaller than the s14's, so you'll probably have problems fitting them and you're gonna need rubber-band thin tires.

IMO, it'll look terrible. They're so big, it'll be hard to get very low with them. It's gonna look like a donk s13... But if you want do it anyways, make 'em fit right and then take pictures of them for the sake of the community and then sell them for something more properly sized.

Oh and don't froget... they weigh about 30lbs each...http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki...tions

wow lol didn't know they weighted that much! guess ill stick with the 18's then! was hard enough fitting those right! guess the look of a 67 impala with 25 inch rims would look dumb on a 240

Yeah... there is a thread around here somewhere with 240's rolling on 19's and 20's. They all looked horrid.

Can't remember where to find it though...

think I saw those and was wondering "what's wrong with this picture" kinda like the ones where the wheels stick out 6 inches past the fender but they stretched a 215 tire on to it to tuck it!

oh and sim just checked your link they don't have the specs on the 2009 370z wheels? they are rays forged so they are prob a little lighter then 30 but I may be wrong?

My bad... I misread your post... I thought you were talking about the 350z 19x10... Still same opinion though.
