GTR wheels on 370Z - spacers?
 

Will the R35 GTR wheels fit on a 370Z without the need for spacers?

You will not need spacers for GTR wheels, they have fairly aggressive offsets for the Z already. I am curious to see what the new 2011 and 2012 GTR wheels would look like on a Z, I think that the older wheels on the 09s and 10s look too bulky and large for our cars.

Actually the offsets aren't that aggressive really. The GTR uses 20x9.5 +45 front/20x10.5 +25 rear. The diameter is the "aggressive" factor; although I wouldn't call 20s on a sports coupe aggressive lol. I haven't seen anyone do this yet, but here's an idea of what you'll be working with.

This car is on 20x9.5 +10 front, 20x11 +5 rear. The stock GTR wheels would be inset (sunk in) 35mm/1.4" in the front and 26mm/1.02" in the rear.

Depending on the specs of your current wheels, you may lose clearance on the inside when switch to GTR wheels.

From Titan1080's ride: (no spacers)

Yes Z maniac to share my experience what i fitted with 09 gtr r35 on my Z.

Those (20"x9.5 front with 245/35/20 tire and 20"x10.5 rear with 285/30/20 tire) wheels are fitted without spacer will not touch blemboo caliper, fender and inlet.

If you want look more perfectly closed with fenders then i had installed wheel spacers 15mm for front and 20mm for rear. (just for 09 gtr r35 wheels)

:tiphat::tiphat::tiphat:


Thanks

Sorry will not touch NISSAN brake caliper.

Forgot to mention i had lowering the car.

Is this car sitting on lowering springs or is it stock ride height?

I'm kinda digging it.

I think its stay with stock ride height. :driving:

after lowering and add on spacers 15mm for front ans 20mm for rear for while.

:tup:

Size
 

what size tires u pushing?

Quick question might be nubish , but which lugs are safe to run these wheels with the 370z?

Factory lugs are the only ones that fit correctly.

370Z lugs do not work. Get ones for a GT-R or maybe 350Z, G35. I think those are the same as the GT-R.

What's the difference?

I know the Nismo Z lug nuts have washers built in in the them, not the GTR ones. If the non-Nismo Z share the same lug nuts, then that is the difference.

The Z wheel nuts are actually more expensive than the GTR nuts. :tup:

370Z are flat and GT-R are tapered.

Thanks for the info guys! I'll have to pick up a set, I have GTR wheels being delivered Wednesday :tup:

I know this is a somewhat old thread, but dammit... Whenever I decide to upgrade my stock 18" wheels, I have to go with a set of GTR wheels. They just look too damn good on the Z! And the fact that they are "stock" wheels, they still look low-key which is what I want. Low-key is going to be the theme of my car and these fit the bill perfectly.

just get the nismo wheels for the 370z.. the pre 2015/16 ones.

I wouldn't mind a set of the Nismo wheels either, both the pre 15/16 as well as the 15/16. However, if I had my choice, I still think I'd go with the GTR wheels first.

The red and blue Z cars on the previous page with GTR wheels look great.

Really? those wheels look too heavy and chunky on the Z. Nismo wheels all the way!

Nice! Post pics when you get them installed!:happydance:

You know, the more I look at it, you're right. They don't exactly look chunky, but they do look a bit heavy (and most likely are), and the look a bit too big.

The Sport Rays are nice but everyone and their brother has them (including my brother - LOL - Funny but true), and I've never been one for directional wheels.

The Nismo wheels I have always liked, and they look great with some wide meat on them. Slap some 305/30's on the rear and something like 265's or 275's on the front.

With all that said, I still like the base black 18's that I have. I just wish they could accept wider tires than 275's. Oh well.

They're pretty light wheels for being 20". I think they're around 23-24lbs each.

Yeah, I just saw that over on one of the GTR sites. Not bad at all for 20" wheels. I think my 18's weigh about the same. I like the way the center of the spokes suck in towards the center of the wheel, like my 18's.

The 18s are like 20.5lbs front and 23.5lbs rear.
