Looking to buy the same setup, but wanted to get your final verdict on the purchase. Are you still 100% for this setup, or would you make changes? I have the same car (sport setup). Thanks!

I like the setup. However some say that my rims doesn't look at good as the other winter rims. So, if you want to save weight, go for my setup. Very lightweight. If you want the look (and slightly heavier rims), go with spearfish's rim selection. Love the Blizzaks though :tup:

Hey AK370Z, what pressure are you running on your Blizzaks?

Switching to winter set on Dec 5th. Possibly there's a AutoX event on the 4th :). Want to use the RAYS for that

Thanks a lot to you for the thread AK, it helped me a great deal to choose my winter setup!

I fishtailed like mad this weekend whilst on my summer tires, scared the bejesus out of me but I was lucky enough to control it before doing a 360° and possibly crashing. I'm still waiting for my rims to arrive to put those lovely winter tires on.

For people interested in winter setups, I chose the following:

Wheels: INFINY R1 8.5x18 5x114.3 ET35 67.1mm
Tires: 225/50 R18 99 V CONTINENTAL CONTI-WINTERCONTACT TS 830 P XL

Same rims and tires on front & back and I'll stick 32Psi just like AK.

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.

best winter wheels for the 370z are the stock 18's. find a set. they are 18" and they clear the brakes and you know they fit the car. get 245/45/18's all around.

Maybe, but that's going to be fairly expensive. Where can you even find a set of the stock wheels without tires? eBay/craigslist? My point is that people on this thread were saying tirerack will show you all the wheels that fit your car but when you select 370z you don't get any 18" options. I could just order 18"ers and hope they fit but it's a little unsettling.

18's def fit on the car. many guys run them for the track. Including myself. it depends on the offset. My rims are 18x9.5 w a 35mm offset and clears the brakes by a decent amount. Do some reserch on the wheels before u get them. see if other people have put them on a 370z. you can def find a set of 18s. i payed 800 for wheels and tires. tires werent the best but i got a track day out of them.

its not expensive for the stock 18"s. Put up a wanted ad, say you don't care about tire life. Thats what i did and i got a set for pretty cheap. they weren't in the best shape (little bit of curb etc) but they were good, and it was nice knowing they fit perfectly.
