I will post up pics as soon as I have them on the car. Probably just going to swap the stock rubber off of the stockers and onto these.

:yum:

Damn dude that's going to looks bad ***!!!

Can't wait to see them mounted!:excited: They will look really good with your chicane yellow. Now, put them on the car and show us some :pics:

Excited for pics

is this offset going to fit well? because im planning to use 8.5 for the front and 9.5 for the rear too, please post pictures when you intalled it thanks alot!

I will know more info when I do the fitting. I will post up any additional info once mounted and pictures are taken such as spacers if needed, etc.

I think the rears need spacers. 15 mm and 10. 5 wide would look more flush.

You. Are. Killing. Me.:pics:

Pics now!!!! Like in 5 mins when I refresh this thread.

Please, purty, purty please.

:bowrofl: Ahahaha that made me laugh because usually I am the same way! I don't even have the car as it's still being tuned/tested.

Don't worry.. I will have pics SOOOOOON!!

Yeah I hear ya... I want them on the verge of sticking out of the fender but not quite.

Cant wait to see these on the car! One of my favorite wheels for the price!

Def look hot!!

Pictures?????

Those are nice, I like them!

in it for the pics...just install those pieces at techosquare asap!! i just wanna see them mounted. yellow on black with that time attack stripe is sexxxx

wow...19x9.5 +25offset still need 15mm spacer, so if i have 19x9.5 +37 offset, it means no spacer still perfect for my rims?

You're going in the wrong direction. The larger the offset, the more the wheel sinks into the car away from the outside edge of the fender. Try to visualize this. If you have a wheel with a zero offset, that means the hub is right dead center in the middle of the wheel (if you were looking down at the wheel from the top, vertically). Now let's say you have a +20mm offset. That means the hub is pushed 20mm out towards the outside of the wheel. But what happens when you mount it? The further the center of the wheel is pushed outwards, the more the entire wheel will sit inwards when it's mounted. The offset for the stock 19" rears is +30mm. So if you wanted to push the wheels, say, 10mm out towards edge of the fenders, you would deduct 10mm for a target offset of +20mm.

Those are more narrow than stock sport pack wheels.The offsets dont compensate enough for that either. It isnt going to look as hot as you think.:icon14:

True they are more narrow but only by a half inch. You can still use the same 245 front and 275 rear rubber without stretching so.....

Not only that but if you look at a bone stock 370 like mine here you'll notice that the stock sport wheels aren't sitting flush with the fender to begin with. Now I'm going from a stock offset in the rear (I believe it's +30?) to an offset of +25 will have it sitting just about flush with the fender if not back in the stock postion. I actually think it will improve the look over stock.

I know that it may look desirable to get as much meat as you can squeeze into a wheel well but what you gain in grip is countered by added weight and drag. Frankly, I don't think you'll even notice any difference whatsoever from behind the car.

But.. there's only ONE way to find out right?? :pics: I know I know.. working on it...

thanks ;) haha

Clean wheels. Where are the pics!?!?! lol

Pics this weekend ? :tup:

Do those come in green lips? :>

But no green :icon17:

Interested to see how they look with the offset.

I had Axis wheels on my 350 and I felt that they were a great wheel for the price so I'm thinking of going with them again.

Super Hiros with red stripe on black car though,

Running the offset numbers it looks like your rear wheel will be 1mm less and your front will be perfect.. like an extra 10 or mm. You will eventually want a spacer for the rear if the offset calc is correct.

I just got some rims (well won them on eBay) and my offset front and rear is 20mm... it ends up to where my rear comes out like 6mm more which is okay but not enough but front comes out 21mm more which might be at the fender...

Lookin at the 370z on the cover of Modified mag last month they had an extra 17mm on the fronts from factory and the offset in the rear was the same. Looked good in the photos so Im guessing 4mm more wont kill the look for my fronts. They were using 19x9 and 19x10 Nismo LMGt4 5 spoke with offsets 30 front and rear.

thats gonna look real hot, take pics asap with them..... the Z has some new shoes...lol

:worthless:

Yes, we're an impatient bunch! :rolleyes:

:iagree:

Thanks for the offset info... I may well go with spacers and new bolts on the rear if need be. Whatever makes it right.

I know you all are dying to see pics and I am dying to get them on the car, unfortunately I don't have the car right now and am in the process of trying to get ahold of it so that I can get these new shoes on!!

I will have pics up real soon.. I promise. :excited:

Ah, I see it's off getting tuned by Technosquare. Well okay, I guess we'll let it slide this one time. ;)

In all seriousness though, it'll be interesting to see what kind of gains they can get out of tuning it.

I will be starting a thread here showing gains with video etc. soon.

Update...
 

No... unfortunately no pics yet but soon! I did the fitment over at Technosquare yesterday and they fit perfectly. Sits just about flush with the fenders on front and rear...

I am getting tires mounted tomorrow and pics up this weekend!

my god. i've been waiting for some PICS!!!! i guess the weekend will have to do.

:excited:

bump..
:pics:

Do yourself a favor and check them OFTEN for CRACKS... Went through 2 sets on my z and finally went with Volks...

:worthless:

Concerning Brooke's post

Yes, it has been said, and probably conclusively proven that the first and second batch of Hiro wheels were prone to cracking. I remember this being a problem several years ago (3 years or so). However, as I understand it, this is no longer an issue. By "this" I mean cracking under normal driving circumstances. Any wheel can crack if enough force is applied but these cracked under significantly less force than a wheel should crack. That being said I had set of Axis Reverbs on my 350z and never had a problem with them so it's difficult to say with any high degree of certainty that Axis makes "good wheels" or "bad wheels"; all that can be said is that there was an issue with these wheels in their first generation some 3 odd years ago which seems to have subsequently been ameliorated.

I say this as clarification of his post because I didn't feel he told the whole story. He is right though and this should be considered in case you’re thinking of buying these. Caveat emptor as they say.
