I'm going through withdrawals. I'm thinking the only way to cure it would be to get a visit from the brown Santa. :)

About an hour after the pillar has been sprayed and sitting under the lights I bring it back into the house four a couple of days. Then its good to go. No issues and the finish is as durable as when I do them in the summer.

Of course you don't need to do it right now as your Z is in storage mode. :tup:

thanks for the tip. :tup: come to think of it, i do have two IR heatlamps i could use. :D but yah, im just going to wait it out till it's warm enough. :p

WORK Gnosis CV202

Brush Silver Clear (BRU) Finish
Optional Anodized Polish Barrel (mirror polish)

(2) 19×9.5 +25 R-Disk (2.5″ lip) 5×114.3
(2) 19×10.5 +25 O-Disk (3.8″ lip) 5×114.3


Just curious what you thought of this configuration and what offset would get me a larger lip than this setup?

if your car's lowered the front should fit pretty snug, the rear will be sunken in a little. you can probably keep the front but the rear should be more like 19x10.5 ET12 or something to match the front. or get 19x11's ET15 maybe? :)

I'm presently at stock height but plan on going with the swift (and possibly koni) setup eventually.

Pintsize725 01-20-2014 01:15 PM

Mr. Kenchan, do you think I should change my sidewall size down to 45 if the new rims will be a bit more flush with the fender? I'm currently at 50.

Help me, tire/wheel guru!

the front will poke too much at stock height. :) might want to do the swifts first, then get 19x9.5 ET25 and 19x11 ET15 :yum: (or your preferred offsets and sizes) custom order.

hummm... problem with going to a lower profile tire is that they usually end up more square than round on the shoulders. this can potentially make the wheel gap more pronunced.

wat were your forgestar sizes and offsets again?
wat are your stock tire sizes? :)

Fronts are 18x9 +30 and going with a 245-45 in the Pilot Super Sports.
Rears are 18x10 +16 and I'm going with a 265-40. << sales rep just said this isn't wide enough but everyone else has been telling me it is. :icon14:

:ugh: anyone know the stock base 18" tire sizes? front and rear?

ok, so here's where you are stock vs new:

http://www.the370z.com/members/nissa...75222-pint.jpg

looking at this, you are already 2.25mm shorter sidewall than stock on the front, so you probably wont want to go any shorter than this as you will introduce more gap.

if you go 245/50 on the front, it will be too tall. so 245/45/18 on the front looks good. :tup:

NissanFan 01-20-2014 02:38 PM

as far as the rear, you will have some stretch, but since you are 8mm taller on the sidwall it should fit fine.

275/35/18 is too short, 275/40/18 is too tall, so 265/40 is closest out of the 3; therefore, it looks good to me as far as size. :D

you know i just realized how much bigger the stock base 18's front total diameter is vs the sport. :eekdance: wow.

NissanFan 01-20-2014 03:17 PM

so im still trying to decide if i should get me an ipod-touch 5th gen, or an ipad mini. my zen mp3 player's battery died recently and cant hold a charge worth a damn... :ugh:

i dont like using my droid for multi-media since i hate being interupted through the headphone or watever, while listening to music... plus, it drains the battery. :(

the droids have some minor but audible noise in the background too which i prefer not to have. hummmm...
