finally decided on wheels

[Ill give u a head start]

http://new.photos.yahoo.com/raymondzo6/ ^the wheels im talking about are pictured on the black ZHere is a pic of the wheels i think have decided on. hardest decision of my life . I finally found a pic of them on a 300zx and liked them even more.

I have pretty much brand new tires on my current wheels which are 18x8.5So im plannin on getting these new sets of wheels in the same size

I couldnt get the exact size of the wheels in the pic but do the rear wheels look wider than the front or does it just look that way becuz of the angle

btw just incase u were wondering they are called HRE 545 forged

sorry i didnt know how to setup a link just to the photos of the wheels.. so i think u will also see the parts ive got up for sale. Just sold the front bumper for $200 wooot! but 4 ne1 interested i have another front bumper that is cracked but repairable.

Yeah thats a mighty offset, that Z has a widebody kit so it tucks. you can get some fender extensions or even that kit tho. If you recall WidebodyZ, he sells fender kits for deep dish wheels. I also see em on ebay.

I gotta get my rims wrapped, got me a set too. Btw I've seen that Z before, its very nicely done

HRE makes good wheels though

The link doesn't work, but I think he is talking about these: https://www.amzperformance.com...3f722&

They do look really nice, I love 5-spoke designs.

Stick on fender flares ftl. Just get wheels that fit the car. You're not gonna make more power on a street Z32 than a good tire on a 10" wide wheel can handle.

The wheels i currently have are all 18x8.5 with staggered tires

Front Tires: 245/40R18

Rear Tires: 275/35ZR18

I was wondering if i could go wider than 8.5 for the rear with The HRE wheels using the SAME tires?

[nsrZ32]

You could go 18x9.5 out back and the 275's would work fine on those.

cool would u recommend it though? or should i get the same width all the way around. http://www.vividracing.com/cat...18132

i found this page with more info on the wheels and also got an idea on prices lol thank god i have a friend that owns a wheel shop.

It seems like these wheels have a ton of customizable options.here is a little excerpt from the page:

This wheel is also available with a conventional (step) rim design. Please select below.

Feature Highlights:Forged 6061-T6 Aluminum 3-piece construction.<<<<is this an option i can choose from?Extreme aftermarket brake clearance.Straight-contour rim with maximized lip depth

for future reference to post a pic, right click the image, go to properties, take that and put int in the post or better yet do it between "[IMG]" and "[/IMG]" tags for nico (these will pop up when you hit the small insert image button that looks like 2 mountains and a sun lol)

If you have a ton of options for offsets, choose one that you are happy with. I mean if you want deep dish wheels do it. Some ppl want fender flares, some are happy with the extension without flares.

I would have gone with the flares WidebodyZ had, their are nice, and deep dish in that style. I hate the widebody kit, makes the Z look kinda bulky. Goes straight to the hips lol but yeah flares n deep dish

Luckily my wheels are a fraction of an inch over than stock

lol i tried it but it dont work. I remember adding images was alot easier when i first joined nico

[freakonaleash1187]

The link you are trying to post as a picture is broken because I'm getting the "broken picture" image.

[Ill give u a head start]

yea i dont know whats up with that.... well i decided im going to get the wheels with a polished finish. Will be ordering them tomorrow. I will be goin 18x8.5 in the front and 18x9.5 in the rear.

I was wondering on 18 inch rims, what is the right offset to go for? Also, what's the best suspension you could recommend? I'm looking to get a set off adjustable coilovers.
