RIMS!

[j30t_Dan]

Tax returns are on their way. Which means I get to treat the J to some new shoes and brakes. What and where should I buy my rims. I am looking somewhere inbetween 17 and 20... around 1000. Let me know what you think.

Personally, I think that 17" is the biggest you should go. It starts to look a little wierd if you go bigger, especially since we can't lower our cars.Just go to tirerack.com and see what you like the looks of. I like thinner & more spokes on the J30 more than, say, 5 fat ones.

These guys have some great rims, I am not liking living in Canada tho. Too much to ship

If you have a 1993 or 1994 J30"t" with HICAS, disable the HICAS systems before installing rims greater than 16". Otherwise you'll screw up the HICAS system.

Thanks for the Tip. I had no idea. This really makes me think twice about changing out rims.

i'd say go with a 19 in g35 or m45 rim check ebay or graigslist.

[j30t_Dan]

Will any year of M or G rims fit with the offset?

[Kountz430]

they should for the m45 rims they are 19 by 8.5 with a 50 mm offset for the g35 theres three sets the first set are on the sedan which is a 17/7 and a 6 spoke then you have one set of seven spoke 18in and a ten spoke 19 in







somebody chime in cause im not sure what the offsets are on the other g wheels

if your J is a 93-94 touring model with HICAS the largest you can go is 1 w/o disabling the HICAS...if you disable it you can go up to 20in...personally i was going to go with the the M45 19's but when i found out how expensive and rare 19in tires were to find i decided to just go with an 18...got my rims and tires $1010.00....18 x 7.5 w/ a 2in lip....there some knock off no name brand called RAIZ but they look great and ride wonderful...i dont know the offset offhand but i do know the tires are 245/24R18s...youve got to remember that the bigger the rim the thinner the tire...18 was the best all around where i would still have enough tread especially on the roads here in Houston....dont have any imiediate pics but heres a vid of my exhaust which starts out focused on my rear passenger side rim...hope this helps in your decision

[j30t_Dan]

Thanks

I am for sure sticking with the 18s

[infinitiboyj30]

i can tell u right now if ur lookin to sport out the j30 dont go with 17s or bigger its already heavy as it is! u go with 17s thats adding more weight right there and will make it slower. plus the car is so damn low 16s would look good it i think...

IMO 16s were 2 small

I don't think its low at all... I am aiming for 17s

[psychx]

I have 20" rims on mine.. I can post pics if you'd like. Personally, I think the 20's look great. I get a lot of comments and looks from it, too. I am thinking about going down to 19" G35 wheels and doing some engine work, because I have some extra $$ that I want to treat the J to. I am looking into converting the VG30DE into a VG30DETT w/ upgrades..

[yodawill2000]

Hope you have ALOT of $$ for that TT swap.

[J30inthe sun]

TT swap... Z Fever in Tampa will do the whole turn key swap for you. All you have to do is drop it off.

Websites swap page:

They specialize in 300ZX & Nissan cars (hence the name) & know our J30 engine inside & out. That's where I get all my work done.
