Tirerack now has winter rims for the 370
 
Just went on tirerack and found the 18" rim info for the sport package. Here is the info. Offset: +35
Backspacing: 5.94"
Bolt Pattern: 5-114
Rec. Tire size: 225/50-18


Now I can finally go get some tires and rims and prepare the Z for winter. By the way my 2010 Z should be in next month :excited:.

What tires are you getting?

I couldn't find the Blizzak WS-60's.

The WS-60 doesn't come in a 225/50-18, so I guess it will be the LM-60. I have found that very few tires come in that size.

Here are the rims I'm thinking of getting.

Finally! I had a test fitting scheduled next week with my local installer for the Sport Edition A7 18x8. At least now I know the A7s do fit and I have more options to look at...

Thanks for the heads up :tup:

I called the tire rack and asked if the KV5 would fit, but it looks like it won't, so I think I will go for the A7.

Just bought a package from them: Blizzak LM 25 and MSW Type 20. Laying out the extra $360 for the tpms broke my heart.

Up here in Canada I can get winter tires & rims with out TPMS from 1010tires.com. TPMS is an option. I think it's BS they make you buy the TPMS saying it a safety issue and must be on the car. So I guess most of the cars on the road are unsafe then because most don't have TPMS. Anyways nice choice on rims. Take some pics when you get them on your car.

I have a set of winter tires mounted on Sport Edition A7's. They are the ugliest damn wheels out there.

Do you have any photos of them on your car?

Sorry, I responded to the wrong post. I'll get you photos on thursday. My winter set was originally purchased for my previous G35. When spring came around and I switched back to the factory 19's (one of the best looking factory rims IMHO) people at work came up to me and told me how much better my car looked.

However, check out the wheels on a 2002 Skyline GT-R. See any similarities?

I'll swap for your factory wheels. Hell, I'll even throw in a cool $100 for your trouble.

They just are so damn ugly...

I'm sorry...

Hey no problem. I am not parting with my stock wheels. The A7's are for winter months only. I'm sure they will surfice for this purpose. On my Jetta I had steel wheels with hub caps, these got to be better than those.

You prompted me to look at Tirerack again and I'm much happier with the new setup I chose. Check out my other post in this forum for pics. I went with the MSW Type 11's which are about the same price as the Sport Edition A7s but look darn good.

I would do the same, but up here in Canada I can't get those through 1010tires and I'm sure not going to buy from thetirerack for a lot more $. Like I said they are for winter so no big deal.
