LMGT4 on 370z
 
Alas, my first post after lurking on here for a fairly long time. I wanted to share with all of you my very first time buying a new set of wheels for my car. For those who don’t know or didn’t read the title :icon17: these are the 2017 Omori LMGT4 matte black Nismo wheels. I went for a staggered setup w/ (front) 18x9.5 + 12 and (rear) 18x10.5 + 15. The tires are hankook Ventus v12 evo2 k120. Front tire sizes are 245-45-18 and the rear sizes are 275-40-18. The only things I was really worried about were the front wheel offsets and if (1) they would clear the Akebono Brakes and (2) how much would they poke out if it did. Luckily, I reached out to Josh@kamispeed and he cleared it up for me. I’m honestly super stoked about these wheels. I knew how rare and equally expensive these wheels were but in my eyes they were definitely worth it. I want to give a huge shoutout to Josh@kamispeed for helping me out and your great customer service through this process. I also want to give a huge shoutout to everyone here on the forums. I have done extensive searching looking at everyone’s tire choices, offsets, wheel brands and why they chose them. You all have helped me make my first purchase of wheels one to remember :happydance:.

P.S. - I know my car is dirty :(

Love the wheels but they just look so small on the Z... maybe because your car doesn't appear to be lowered. RAYS really needs to release a 19-inch version.

OptionZero 04-03-2018 04:57 PM

Awesome wheels

too small for this chassis

perfect for S13/14/15/R32/33/34/Z32

Nixin 04-03-2018 05:09 PM

Did anyone mention to you, off the record of course, that your Z is dirty? Just kidding. Nice wheels! But they do need to be a touch bigger. I agree with the other forum bros, 19" would be about perfect.

OptionZero 04-03-2018 06:11 PM

black makes any wheel look smaller
combo that with a black car and you basically just have a formless blob
can still see the wheel gap even tho thats also black

Nismo/Rays are stupid for not doing a 20 inch version for GTR/370Z

but then again. . . there's the Advan GT

Vizzy_v2 04-03-2018 07:20 PM

Trust me I would have much preferred these in 19” if they had them:(. The wheel gap does look huge though. Just ordered some Swifts and it’ll look much better once it’s lowered.

I think the wheels look good. Thanks for sharing the pics. I always wondered what these wheels would look like.

Congratulations and welcome. :tiphat:

:iagree: Josh was extremely helpful when I bought my wheels.

KamiSpeed 04-04-2018 09:31 AM

They came out great man! But yeah, a little bit for a drop will def set them off!

SS_Firehawk 04-04-2018 02:43 PM

Just needs a mild drop and it will sit pretty

DarkJak 04-04-2018 03:16 PM

Insanely jealous. I'd have gotten them in 18" too if I had the funds for them myself.

OptionZero 04-04-2018 04:11 PM

20 inch version, lol:

Those are some beautiful wheels very nice. I second installing some springs.

2011 Nismo#91 04-05-2018 08:43 AM

They look very nice!

Ventruck 04-29-2018 12:19 PM

I've been in the "wish they came in 19's" camp, but nonetheless great that they clear the brakes.

Waiz 05-01-2018 08:29 PM

Oh yeah welcome to the LM club :tup:

More pics please!

Your wheels are the perfect size for the car but unfortunately you did not go aggressive enough on your tire sizing. I would sell those rear tires and upgrade to a 305-35-18 but there is no issue with you running those

tjlazer 03-04-2019 04:20 PM

Rear offset seems way off. Should be 40-45mm. Should be easy to fix with a 20mm spacer though.

OptionZero 03-04-2019 05:19 PM

These wheels don't come in 40 ish offset

18x9 +22
18x9.5 +12
18x10.5 +15

Good sir I believe you to be mistaken

If you add spacers you are increasing the offset negatively

OP's offset is perfectly fine
