I really want to stay on 18s, I'm going to do it but I still hate the wheel and tire thing. It sucks to get it wrong on a truck but I can't get it wrong on a track car. It may sound stupid but changing wheel size is about the last thing I want to do even if I know I need to.

It's a pain in the ***, but it'll be the biggest difference you can really make.

You wont go wrong with Forgestar F14's they are very light and cheap plus they look great in my opinion. As far as fitment just ask one of the vendors here that sell the Forgestars and I am telling you...You wont have fitment issues. Especially not with 18 inch diameter. Personally I would do 19's. The wheel wells on the 370 are so massive that you would really need to push the envelope on extreme offsets to get a fitment issue.

For a track car, 18s really win. There's so many more tire options, and they're all cheaper.

Your right it just looks so awkward with such a small diameter when the 370z wheel well is so massive. Never understood why manufacturers are designing vehicles with such large diameters.
