18" Nismo LMGT4s on black 370Z
 
9 Attachment(s)
They did fit without hitting the calipers, but they look undersized and I wish they stuck out more in the back, would probably look better if the car were lowered about 1 inch. I believe I will probably go with 19's on there, just not sure what wheels to get yet.

Now I am a lazy person. I did not put all four on there, just two to see what it would look like, so the 19s are still on the other side. But at least I know they will fit. I will probably be selling these Nismos with Michelin tires in the near future.

One clean 370Z and one, eh, Twin Turbo Z that could use a bath.

I think it looks good. A drop would make it perfect. Noice whip!:driving:

:excited: Well done - Nice pics - now I know my 19's will look fine if ever I get a 370!

Thanks for taking the time to mount and take pics. Like the look of the Nismos a lot, especially on black. Really pulls together the other trim (handles, Z, etc) and flows with the 260ish feel. I would stick with 19 or drop to look perfect.

It's going to be hard to make an 18" wheel look good on a 370...

dlmartin81 01-27-2009 07:14 PM

I'm not feelin the 18s on the new Z. Way to small imo.

batman_4 01-27-2009 07:18 PM

what are the specs(width) on your nismo wheels?

Crash 01-27-2009 08:13 PM

They look really nice, but I'd rather have 19's. If they made those in 19", I'd have them in a heart beat.

batman_4 01-27-2009 09:40 PM

^ they do, offsets are a bit weak though on the US version

nogoodname 01-27-2009 11:01 PM

looks good...nice contrast with the black Z on silver rims

Crash 01-27-2009 11:15 PM

Any ideas on the weights for the 18's and 19's?

MC 01-28-2009 02:04 AM

i had both 18's and 19's if i remember correctly ....it was about 18lbs for the 18 and 22 for the 19's rears were a about half a pound heavier on each due to the width

The fronts are 18x8.5 and the rears are 18x9.5, so they are actually a half inch narrower than the stock rims on the 370. Not sure of the offsets but it appeared the fronts stuck out a little more than stock and the rears stuck out less. I figured they would not look right, but wanted to see what they did look like. I like the NISMOs and would like a black set in 19's with the right offsets so the backs look right.

Heres what they looked like on my 350Z.

not sure about the size of these lmgt4's i think 19 either way concave face comes on the 9.5 in wide and wider. so these are anwhere from +30 offset up to +12
