This is the setup.....
 
Okay.

This is exactly what will happen to a 370Z should I end up getting my hands on a blue one:

Roughly a 1.5 to 2" drop on coilovers.....and a nice set of Volk SF Challenges in Mercury silver.

I apologize for the lousy photochop, but it's the best I could muster with MS Paint.

what do yall think?

consequently, these ar the wheels I had on my 350Z, and they fit PERFECT.
so unless theyve changed the bolt pattern or offset tendencies of the Z....they should be fine.

these are what they looked like on my 350z (GOD I loved those wheels):

Would look nice.

What size Volk's? 19's?

Wouldn't be my first choice in wheels. Sounds like you really like them though and that's all that really matters...

Did you find out if the offsets match the 370Z? I currently have a G35 with 19" SF Challenges I wouldn't mind moving them over to the new Z. My current wheel setup is 19" x 9.5"/+17 offset (Front) and 19" x 10.5"/+23 offset (Rear)

NOTE: Please excuse my ignorance as I always get the offsets mixed up, my wheels sit flush with the fender at the moment, not sure if that helps. Or they could be vice versa, lol.

TerribleONE 01-26-2009 04:42 AM

those offsets sound a bit aggressive for the 370.. but im not expert.. anyone else wanna chime in?

Paradox 01-26-2009 11:13 AM

Yeah, on the G they look great who knew larger lips would look nicer... =P I would love to just transfer them over rather then spending another $3,700 for a new set of rims and tires.

top one is in Ft worth, TX at the Stockyards
second one is in Temple, TX at Santa Fe Railroad Museum
third one is at thepark down the street from my house (240z and 350Z)

Anyways....bumping the thread cuz I TEST DROVE A 370Z TODAY!
WOOOO!

It was nice.
Real comfortable and the interior was real nice.
I like the cool little button on the door that works with the keyfob to lock/unlock the doors....very cool.

Driving impression:
On a scale from 1 to 10, I'd give it a 7.

Keep in mind, i didnt get to drive a model with the synchro-rev, which sucks...cuz thats the whole reason i wanted to drive one....but anyways...

It didnt feel as fast as the numbers imply, but that may be due to the comfy suspension and such...still felt quick, but not really fast enough, acceleration-wise to make me want to but one yet.
:shakes head:

I hate to say it but my 350Z felt a little quicker off the line.

And last but not least....I HATE that it doesnt sound like a 350Z.
The exhaust note just doesnt do anything for me.
Which sux cuz the 350Z exhaust note was the BEST.

Maybe an aftermarket exhaust will fix that.

Anyways....not terribly impressed, but not completely turned off either.

thats about it.
