18" on 370z with sport package
 
Thinking of doing 18x9.5 & 18x10.5, not 100% sure on offsets but I am sure I will get the right recommendation. :D
I am more of a fan of the concave style, would love to spend under 2,000 for the wheels.

What are my options?

18 inch limits ur choice

bump to 19's

vossen concaves are mid 2K, but 20 inch

I would rather say 19 or under, I am thinking 18 as it has a lot of tire choices (with great prices).

They were at the top of the list...but we all know about that. :ugh2:

I hate to say it but Forgestar might one day make the 18" wheels and actually ship them. Front options where 9.5", 10", rear 10", 11", 12" I believe. If you want them this century look elsewhere.

nogoodname 11-08-2009 08:00 PM

i can only think of those concaves..... lol

I think Travis got his in, need to contact Wstar as he was on the list for the 18s, maybe I should order them now and when my stock tires finally go the Forgestar might be ready. :wtf2:

They do look nice, but not 100% for me.

nogoodname 11-08-2009 08:05 PM

maybe they will come in the same time as the berks catback

Hey now, the Berk exhaust has only been delayed once, but that delay was 3 months, which reminds me (I need to PM Berk).

Mike 11-09-2009 09:53 AM

I just had some 18" 350z wheels widened since I couldn't find any I liked.

Dreamer... did Berk say anything on the catback?

theDreamer 11-09-2009 12:39 PM

PM has been sent, waiting on the reply.

Yeah I know, but I might not buy until the end of the year depending on if I can keep my finger off buying Berk HFC. I keep going back & forth on new wheels, one day I want them, the next I think just buying 20mm spacers (for the rears) will be good enough.

IMO the Z deserves better than "good enuff" :tup:

You might want to wait til you hear your exhaust without HFC's before you get them...I know my car with just HFC's is about as loud as I would ever want it.

theDreamer 11-09-2009 12:49 PM

Very true, which is what I will probably do, I think with my intakes (sh1t) and the exhaust I am going to try to stop buying performance parts and upgrade the radio next. Save up some money for wheels/tires, which I might go with 18s.

any reason for 18's other than tire cost? The 18's just look small on our Z, so if you aren't going to track then I'd say stick with 19's.

Ya, I don't even have intakes on my car, and I already feel bad turning on my car at 6am in the garage where it echoes.

theDreamer 11-09-2009 12:53 PM

Not just cost, but you get a few more choices I have seen with tires in the 18 range. 18 seems to get every size in every brand with everything. :shakes head:
I am just making this thread to see what options I have for 18s, more of to fill the curiosity I have.

Caravanshaka 11-09-2009 12:55 PM

I see...you want to go crazy with some random tire :rofl2:

I can't think of many options in 18's other than the forgestars. I think Mike already tried RPF1's and found them not to clear the brakes.

LiquidZ 11-09-2009 02:47 PM

If you don't mind using spacers, check out the new Enkei PF01's.

The extra sidewall can be helpful if the roads are not so great. I prefer the extra sidewall for winter tires.

that is a good point. But I know he is in Texas with me so he won't be using winter tires :tup:

Would they fit with out making them wider ?? I'm looking for some 18" that will fit 370Z with the sport brakes.

corbin09 11-12-2009 10:44 AM

Mike, when you got your wheels widened how did they add the width? in the center of the wheel? have you had any problems(vibrations, not mounting correctly)? i am VERY interested in getting a set of wheels widened. If you dont mind, would you please pm me how much it cost you? THANKS!
