Ryan@Forged recommended 10mm spacers for the front wheels. I was concerned about the stock studs sticking out, but then I realized with the smaller holes on the wheels were for. :p

lol thats why i did it...to show how undecided i am...

although i really dont want to fork out 3 grand just for wheels...no offense to those that do...

Those rims are hot!! You get them mounted yet?

I haven't ordered tires yet. Weather has been bad so I don't quite want to ruin the shine with these wheels just yet. At the earliest, I'll try to get the wheels mounted later this month.

BTW... were you on MY350? Diesel and Florida... has a familiar connection.

in for mounted pics :tup:

I'm sure they are going to look hot when you get them mounted. Did you have to pay extra for the special custom finish?


Yes I am still on my350z.

I'm torn between GT-S and SF Challenge

My dad has 18" SF Challenge on his Z32. They're really nice wheels, but the design on the outer edge is too busy. The GT-S appears to be an evolution of the SF Challenge wheels as it is so much cleaner, and the spokes have a nice edge. Although some might say these wheels are "played out" because of its popularity, I'm perfectly happy making the switch from LE-37t. The only down side with these wheels is that they are heavier than our stock Sport wheels (as well as the LE-37t)

[EDIT] Tires ordered... looking forward to get them installed in about a week.

My tires arrived last night, so I'm pretty psyched for Saturday morning. My dealer will be doing the work. Since they do work on the GT-R, I hope they can work on my wheels with care as well.

Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110
255/35 and 285/30

These tires are a tad smaller in diameter than my stock ones... I'm afraid my car is going to look a bit weird.

I'm very excited to see how these look on your Z

I can't wait to see the pics of them mounted :) Those are gorgeous wheels.

12/19 - Installation Complete! (minor issues)

What a long day! I arrived at my dealer ship around 8:30AM to get the installation started, but they were afraid their machines weren't able to get the tires mounted without damaging the wheels. They suggest we visit another shop to get the tires on and balanced before letting them finish the installation.

So my dad and I headed over to 3 different shops. All were capable of getting the tires mounted and balanced, but they refused to install the spacers. We came back to the dealership nearly 2 hours later and found out they were willing to install the spacers, so we went to the nearest shop to get the tires installed and balanced. Then we had issues with TPMS. Our tire shop refused to take the time to properly mount the TPMS on the adapters saying there were fitment issues. So I gave up since I was crunched for time. So finally, right when the dealership was about to close we got the wheels mounted.

Looks pretty good. I was hoping the wheels would get tucked in a little bit. Maybe I can try to squeeze in 255/40 and 285/35 tires, but I didn't think the wheels would stick out this far.

Does anyone have balancing issues with spacers? I can feel it in the steering wheel, but nothing severe.

If anyone wonders, regardless, I have no plans to drop my car. This is it. Once the weather warms up, I'll get some better shots and update this post once more. Stay tuned!

Wow the rims look great on your car. That finish looks nice. But the wheel gap is pretty bad.

Haha yea... still no drop. I might try to squeeze in 255/40 and 285/35 next time to help with the gap without having to lower it. Roads are pretty bad here. I've scraped both of my FI exhaust canisters. Minor...

Other than that, I was on the left turn lane. Next to me was a GTO. When the light changed, he just sat there and didn't move lol.

those wheels look sick!!!! I agree on the gap as well and I think eibachs would do wonders... the drop is very subtle and the ride quaility is nearly identical to stock... You may be happy with them...
