Track wheels

Rulez

I ninja-edited my post, lol.

Yep, I will be there for sure. I just ordered my oil cooler yesterday, so really wheels and tires is all I need at this point since I have SS lines and whatnot.

Are you coming out? If you haven't registered yet, they have a $150 coupon available.

I will be there for sure, I booked the rooms at the track hotel before we left last time. It will be cool to see another 370z out there, I'm always surprised no one brings them out.

Hi my friend!!! you are not going to have any problems if you run the 370z base wheels with your Sport Brakes. I have a 2013 370z Sport Package and when i sold my oem wheels one of my friend give me his base wheels to use the car... they clear the brakes with no problems here is a pic

Before buying wheels read this: http://www.the370z.com/wheels-tires/...ud-length.html

I am running Forgestar F14 18x10 + 34 square setup (without spacers) with 275's all around with no problems for my track setup. Sport Pkg brakes. Cheap setup and does great at the track. As the above thread states, you will have to run extended studs or bolt on spacers with any aftermarket wheel to get adequate thread engagement on aftermarket wheels. 50mm length studs will allow you to retain the ability to run OEM wheels and lug nuts without spacers.

Prior to my buying forgestars, I got Enkei NT03+M 18x9.5. Great wheels, but there is not a square setup that will clear the akebono calipers (IE, you need spacers in the front).

If anyone wants these wheels they are for sale though.

Read T. Just bought a set of 18x10 +34 F14s myself and want to run a 10 mil spacer in the rear.

Just want to verify that a 50mil stud with a 10mil spacer will work with the F14s in the rear.

You didn't specifically say these words anywhere I saw.

Thanks!

With those wheels I use the 10mm spacer from Z1 here: CNC Aluminum Hub Centric Wheel Spacers 2.5, 5, 10, 15, & 20mm

Currently I have the Nismo "Long hub bolts" with 50mm front and 60mm rear (just to make it easier to thread the nut on). I'm about to switch ARP's extended studs next week (same length all around, whatever "25mm over stock" is, I'm sure it will work - I *think* they're even longer than the Nismo 60mm).

I can check on my car later today (I have a ton of spacers), with a 50mm stud and a 10mm spacer you are effectively making the length of the stud back to OEM so I'm not sure you'll have enough threads poking out of the wheel. It'll be close, and personally I'd rather have my back wheels a little sunken with tons of threads engaging than flying off at the track.

EDIT: On the back wheels there's more thread than I thought. With Z1 10mm spacer, Z1 50mm studs, and Gorilla lug nuts I was able to get about 8 rotations on each lug nut by hand. Also, if you want to buy any spacers I'll have these for sale (brand new never used Z1 hubcentric). That said, if these wheels are just for track I personally would rather not run any spacer unless I have to.

Hey ValidusVentus, I was just looking at the "top lap time track records" thread and saw you have the only time there at CMP. How long ago did you run that? I was down there a few months ago for an HPDE.
