2015 NISMO Wheels on 2010 Roadster
 

Spring is here, the snow is gone, and the Z is out of storage! That's means it was time to try the new shoes on. After months of searching for the right wheel/tire package, I couldn't be happier with these bad boys. The offsets are perfect for my taste. Compared to my stock 18", they sit out 22 mm further on the front, and 11 mm further on the rear. It has a more aggressive stance, without any protrusion past the fenders. The 285s looks great, especially from a rear view. They are only slightly heavier than the 18" wheel/tires, and the grip improved noticeably. I'm ready for a fun summer driving season!

Stats:

Stock 18" Touring
Front: 225/50R18x8, 43 mm offset, 48.0 lbs. wheel/tire
Rear: 245/45/R18x9, 15 mm offset, 52.5 lbs.
Bridgestone Potenza RE50A, 7 years old, worn, starting to dry rot :(

2015 NISMO 19"
Front: 245/40R19x9.5, 40 mm offset, 48.6 lbs.
Rear: 285/35R19x10.5, 23 mm offset, 53.0 lbs.
Bridgestone Potenza S001, < 5,000 miles, extra grippy

I'll try to get some better pictures on a nice sunny day, but here are a few crappy garage shots...

Man thank you!! I want to put them on my vert as well! Now seeing them hot damn do they look good, now I need to get me some

Any troubles with the TPMS light?

What a change! Looks awesome!

The previous owner of the NISMO wheels kept the sensors for his new wheels, so yes TPMS light is currently on. Eventually, I plan to have the sensors pulled from the 18" wheels and mounted on these.

Got ya.

or just put a round e-tape over it... :D


:ugh:

This is a solid idea.

it actually works pretty well... :ugh: (my z has it on) another one of them homedepot mods..

Those wheels look great.
