May want to be sure you have correct offset wheels for that base; Nismo & sports came in a couple different offsets....may not even an exact fit.

Also; same size tires in different brands are usually pretty close to same diameter-but the tread width can vary as much as 1" or more.....tirerack.com has a pretty good selection & spec sheet on what they sell.

I'm seeing +40 Front & +23 rear for the Nismo forged Rays 19x9.5/10.5
The sport 19x9/10 are +47F & +30R
Our 18's are +43 & +15 18x8/9
So some peeps may think that because they have 19" factory wheels,that they are the same dimensions as the Nismo.
Sorry if I upset or mis-informed you.

We do have to remember that while the offsets are different between different wheels/trim levels, the cars themselves are not. Meaning the track width at the hubs, and the width between the fenders are all the same on all 370Zs, so any 370Z can take any wheel package from any other 370Z and have the same result. The wheels are the factor, not the car's trim level.

You could say "well obviously"...but not all manufacturers are like that. BMW for example has wider fenders/different tracks between their sedans, coupes, wagons, M versions of the same series...lots of different, confusing combos there. Good thing our 370Zs are all the same in that respect, only the wheels change.

:iagree:Just slap on the Neesmo and go!:driving:

I think I'd be happy with the sports and a 245/275 set, but at this wheel store, the Nismos are much cheaper.

Which Nismos? S tune or the OEM ones that come on the Nismo 370Z?

These are the ones I'm looking at.

Yes, those are the Nismo S-Tune and have sizes and offsets exactly like the sport wheels.

They listed them as 9.5/10.5.

From lip to lip,they should be about 10.5" & 11.5",
that's how wide i usually factor my tread width in for tires/to match the overall width of the wheels.
