Greetings Vince,

I was searching for threads on fitment of Nismo wheels on a sport package 370z and found your thread for tire fitment (looks good btw) and I'm wondering if you had to use spacers to get the Nismo wheels to fit properly.

I drive a 2011 Sport package Z and am concerned about the offset difference between the two wheels but would like to go wider.

Yes, I am. Where are you located? What condition are they in? What is the price you are asking for? Thanx

Are you still looking for a set of nismo wheels? If so let me know. I'm looking to sell a set I have.

Well I'm from Vegas, so yea I see quite a few running around town...the sound is pretty intoxicating I agree. Few months back I drove an Aventador, that sounded amazing as well.

Can't decide on which one I want.... ;)

Wow, I can't imagine what kind of suspension modifications it took to ruin this car mechanically and visually... This is tipically done on a chevy...

:eek: The reason more than likely is because of your tire sizes. First, your rear tire is a whopping 8% (6.6") larger in circumference than original, but that's not the problem. The problem...

Exactly, so it really seems that there is no advantage to going with a wider tire, or a bigger wheel/lower profile tire setup, even tests proove that all they really do is add more weight...thus...

Yea as soon as he explained it, I understood what he meant...It's understeer under power, and that is usually mainly due to the car's weight distribution. Like a rear engine Porsche for example is...

But see, there is two things, that a wider tire doesn't really give you a lot more surface area because what it gains in width it looses in length (contact patch). Also, a larger contact patch...

You know, funny you should say that because I do feel it but only under heavy braking sometimes. I do think that it's mostly because of the camber wear of the tires though, they were in the rear and...

I am really happy with my new tire setup on my OEM Nismo wheels. I wanted a meatier looking tire while still maintaining the overall diameter of the factory tires. Reasons to install wider tires:...

Thanx SX, I knew someone would appreciate meaty tires in the meaty tire thread :tiphat:

Damn...you always seem to be ahead im the 🍖y tire thread lol Now you got me thinking...305/35R19 should fit on my OEM 9.5s as well, and that would give me more clearance in the front for those...

So I guess 345s give you "Animal" status in the meaty tire thread :tup: haha

Well there are different types of runflats, like the Michelin PAX System requires special wheels that have special lips and an inner ring. Goodyear EMT however are made to be mounted on a reqular...

The problem here is that a lot of people have not read the entire thread and are confused. 95% of the answer is already written in this thread, however, not in the same post...and with the many...
