G37 wheels on a Zed?
 

Anyone mounted the 19" G37 wheels on a Zed? If so, pics?

Also, am I right that the tire/wheel combo is essentialy the same as the sport package but just a different set of Rays?

Thanks :tiphat:

EDIT -- hang on, the G37 wheels are heavier and narrower??? :ugh:

Wow -- that sucks.

Yeah, G37 didn't come with forged wheels like the Z. And like you mentioned, even their sport wheels are pretty narrow for the Z. They're really nice looking wheels though.

Yeah they are nice looking wheels, I actually have a set i just posted for sale in the classifieds if anyone is interested.

They are really sweet looking...

Crap, I wish they were more on par spec wise with the Rays... I really like them :(

Oh, well, thanks for posting and GLWS.

offsets are pretty bad too, unfortunately. you'd need some pretty beefy spacers to run it correctly.

The G37 oem sport 19's are forged.

i know the G35 coupe came with Rays forged 19's but I thought the 19's on the 37 coupe aren't.

These are the specs I found (embarassingly, this was AFTER I had alsoready posted a thread on myG37 looking for a trade -- D'OH!!!)

G35Driver - View Single Post - How much does the OEM rims weight?

If there's a set floating around that weighs less and can have wider tires mounted to them, I'd still be interested -- I really like the look of them.

yeah I knew they were way too heavy to be forged, I even thought of saying I remember them being made by Enkei but wasn't 100% sure.

Dang, was hoping to see a 370z with these wheels on.

Yeah I had to run 32mm spacers on rear or else it's crazy tucked.

is a 32mm spacer even safe?

Not worth the effort, I would have just kept the OEM wheels or get the Sport wheels if you had a base

:iagree:

I has a G37S and those wheels were a bitch to clean - way too many spokes and the way the spokes extended past the outside of the rim, they sucked-in curbs! I think I bought a house and paid for the wheel repair guy's four kids to go to college. :ugh2:

I don't know why you would want to downgrade like that. My buddy has a G37s, and he's told me many times he's buying my wheels if I ever upgrade. The most rubber you can get on the G37 rears is a 275, and it rubs the shock a bit under hard cornering without a spacer.
