stock 18's are also einkei's which are good strong quality wheels. they don't weight a lot and are less likely to bend/crack with winter potholes.

Can someone answer this question? To elaborate, when I enter the vehicle into tirerack, only 19" and 20" wheels show up in the inventory for the 370z.

click through to the main tirerack.com page, then enter the 370z, and choose winter tires, then you are able to choose 18"

and they dont look terribly sunken in like all the other options. They are staggered wheels but you don't need to run staggered tires on them.

would it be worthwhile to maintain the staggered set-up on winter tires?

for example: 225/50R18 in front and 245/45R18 in rear

or just go square 225/50R18 all around?

Not really, no. Just run a square setup.

Plus you could rotate front/back if theyre square

i will run stock 18" wheels and LM60's on my G35C this winter. no reason to make the car look ugly just because it's winter. :D

get the staggered setup. tire is not going to wear that much anyway. :p

Losing the ability to rotate completely just for vanity's sake is silly lol

question to ak 370.. Do u have the sport package on the z? bcz i got a 370z with sport package and im looking for 18s that would fit with the bigger brakes.. so if u are these rims would be perfect.

Drex 04-09-2012 08:30 AM

go to tirerack, and when you enter your car, there is an option for the sport package, then it will only show you wheels that will fit.

diddy535 08-26-2012 01:40 PM

Went to tirerack and each of the wheels I search say they will not fit the 370, do they just not make them anymore? Looking for some cheaper winter wheels.

Guavazo 09-28-2012 06:26 PM

I believe the cheapest option on Tirerack for 370z w/ sports pkg is the Sports Edition A7. anyone know if its possible to get the WS70 work on the z? New England winter is Icy!

I still think the best solution for winter is to get a set of the Base wheels & mount Blizzaks. Or just park the car for the winter and drive a beater. That's what I'm doing this year (so my Blizzaks and stock wheels are up for sale, hint, hint). The Base wheels DO fit over the sport brakes, and lots of folks with the base package upgrade their wheels so they are often available. I think the Nissan wheel quality is higher than many of the aftermarket winter wheel packages, so that would be my recommendation (which I took myself).

How is the LM-60 work for you in Snowy/Icy condition in your area? is there any condition during normal New England winter that you feel the LM-60 blizzards will not able handle other then the in the middle of storm.
