Looking for a new set of wheels... Asap...

DjSquall · 06-27-2011, 04:31 PM

Hey guys, some issues with my stock wheels have forced me into buying a new set.

First off - size: 20" is a must
Second: width: I'm sure I've seen that 20x10.5 @ front & 20x12 in rear are possible? If not, I can settle for 11's in the rear.

Vendors: spam me with pm's pics and prices!!!! I'm in Toronto Canada, make sure you can ship!

Everyone else.. Help me here. I need these ASAP because I can no longer drive on my stocks. I f'd em up pretty bad.

Oh I might as well mention that my budget isn't unlimited either. So help me out here guys, the Z is my first car and this is my first time shopping for wheels. Thanks!

20x12 is possible for the rear and 20x10.5 is also possible for the fronts.

the rest others gotta help u with.

SPOHN · 06-27-2011, 05:46 PM

Id rather go 9.5-10 for fronts and 11's in rears at most.

Nothing wrong with going 9.5 in front and 10.5 or 11 rear. Do you really want to go that wide (10.5 and 12)? That makes for really thick tires too...a lot of extra weight and tramlining on rutty streets. Something to think about. You cqn run 255-285 on 9.5 front and 305 or more on 11 rears. I'm just saying...

DjSquall · 06-28-2011, 05:16 AM

After talking to bullitt, I think were going 10.5 front and 11's in rear

Good luck with your fitment nightmare.

why go extreme front and then an 11 rear. go extreme on both. 10.5 front and 12 rear.

Two posts are necessary for this i feel.
For the z being your first car, and this your first set of wheels, I'm guessing you're new to cars. Nothing wrong with that, but I really need to warn you with aggressive fitments, they are rarely plug and play.
You can take advice on what will work, but in the end youre the one stuck figuring out how its going to work.
A 10.5 front no matter the offset is going to require some serious camber and stretched tires (which is a style I suppose, but not one anyone who cares about handling can appreciate)
Its your car, but I'd suggest you do some research before you dive into hellaflush territory.

If you are interested in the OEM 18" wheels and tires, I was just about to post the setup on the forum. I have less than 5,000 miles the setup, absolutely no curb rash or scraps to the tires or wheels. I am including the TPMS monitors and I would even split the cost of shipping.

I have pictures ready to post. PM me if you want more detail or Pics.

DjSquall · 06-28-2011, 09:16 AM

OEM's are out of the question. The wheel upgrade was on my list of things to do, but it happened a bit sooner than I expected.

The final sizes are 20x10 front and 20x11 in the rear. And as far as fitment, I'll trust Bullitt to know what kind of offset I'll require for my setup. The car will also be lowered 2.5" after the wheels are put on.

Lucky me, I have a buddy who owns a shop so I will have someone who knows what they're doing put the wheels on.

The only issue is that I have to wait 1-2 months... So I'll be carless until I get them. Ph well, I knew I'd have to pay for my mistakes sooner or later!

SalA · 06-28-2011, 09:24 AM

I hear you man...I just put a set of 20" all around on my unit...These were completly custom for the 370Z...3-piece Forged.

Those look wicked. I think I'll be having a 4" lip up front with a 6" lip in the rear. Gonna look nuts. CF finish center with chrome around it.

What tire setup are you think about...I bought the Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110.
