G35 Wheel research

[RXEvan]

So I was doing a little bit of research on wheels to get for a Z when I get one. I decided to go with G35 wheels because A) They look amazing, and B) I would've gone with 350z wheels but they're too popular. As I've been doing some research I found one member who rocks G35 wheels...



The Sloth has a really good looking car and the G35 wheels look great on a Z32. I do not know what wheel size they are because the G35 wheels have multiple sizes...

Front: 17"x7.5" +30mm offset
Rear: 17"x8" +33mm offset

FRONT: 18"x8" 40 offset with 225/45YR18
REAR: 18x9.5" 35 offset with 255/40YR18

FRONT: 18"x8" 20 offset with 225/45YR18
REAR: 18"x9.5" 20 offset with 255/40YR18

FRONT: 19"x8" 40 offset with 255/35YR19
REAR: 19x9.5" 35 offset with 285/35YR19

FRONT: 19"x8" 20 offset with 255/35YR19
REAR: 19"x9.5" 20 offset with 285/40YR19

I was thinking that they are probably the 18" wheels withe the 40mm and 35mm offset. Before I go on craigs and find a set of wheels I was wondering if anyone could confirm that that would be the best set of G35 wheels to get. Thank you very much guys!

Its tough because the 17 inch wheels are ugly the 18 inch wheels are nice but not my favorite and the 19 inch wheels are beautiful but also very big haha....

I would go with the 18s and get 10mm spacers up front and 15mm spacers for the rear....for the best fitment.

If you want nice wheels for a good price i have a friend selling some mint rota boost wheels with brand new tires for 600 dollars

The wheels in that pic are the 18x8+30 wheels.

Maybe try to find something wider? Like 9.5 to 10 inches...

8" is good for me, I probably will upgrade to something wider later, but for now that would be good. Thanks for the info too!

Those are tempting me... I'm going to try to resist because I like the G35 wheels a lot, but who knows...

Why spend time, effort & money doing something twice, when you can just do it once? Hell, rear TT wheels are wider than these. I wish I knew what I know now when I bought my Z33 Anniversary wheels or I never would have gotten them. I could have gotten 18x10 wheels all around for about the same price...

You and I are in the same boat. While I love the look of the Anny wheels, I really wish I had waited for some 18x10's. Lesson learned.

[simmode1]

What excuse is there when there are SOOOOO many cheap, wide & good looking 5x114.3 wheels out there?

Hey Slick, I sold my anniversay wheels... I didnt like the way they look on my car so I'm looking for wheels, I'll take my time looking for the right set.

x2

I didnt know how common 5x114.3 was until I got my Infiniti M and started looking for wheels for it and now the Z.

What would you guys recommend then? I really like the look of the G35 wheels, is there anything close to that look that are 10" wide? I really like the clean, almost oem look.

^I like those as well, but on a 300ZX idk they don't go all that well. If your going for OEM wheels try to find a set like the one's originally posted.

[ffrpwner]

xxr 527 wheels are like an aggressive g35 wheel maybe haha

[es.biggs]

If I could get any affordable set of wheels right now I'd get those 527s. They are sweet looking, cheap, and they aren't a knock-off either

[Chattzx]

I don't see any good websites to order XXR wheels from

[Ace2cool]

Next Level Motoring (Not to be confused with Next Level Motoring car scammer scumbags), are at this website: http://www.nlmotoring.com/. They have a pretty good selection in XXR wheels. My only complaint with the new XXR's is that they are all in odd sizes (like 18x9.75"). I'm sure it will benefit guys who wanna stretch tires, but I'm gonna have to think about it.

[Chattzx]

That is kinda a turn off on those wheels for me. 9.75"...hmm idk why they would make it such an odd size. I really don't care for the stretched look. I think I could deal with it if the right tire is on there though. Maybe Edgar will chime in and give some tire size options for these. Does anyone know a member on here or 3ZC with these wheels yet?

[RXEvan]

Those would look very nice... I'm seconding the motion for a picture request with theses wheels on a Z32, and a tire guru to chime in.

[a.blanco0905]

I'll be the guinea pig... I ordered a set, 18s for the rear and 17s for the front, they'll be here in 4-5 weeks, wish me luck...

XXR 521 - 18x10+25 (BBS LM replicas with 3.5 inch lip)


Mustang Replicas 18x10+22


Can't forget these guys... Can't get any one OEM-ish...18x9.5+20

[RXEvan]
