Looks good :tup:

Dig the 18's and sticking with them when I get new rims too. Next time some 325/35R18 out back though. Meaty tires ftw! :)

That looks great,maybe I mis-understood you,but I don't think you will get 325/35r 18's to fit on the stock wheels.

Yeah I don't see why you would put anything bigger than 285s on the stock wheels. Even that's pushing it IMO

First off sorry for the rant...so im having issues finding the right setup.. I posted a while back with my current setup (Base 18's rear squared with 25mm rear spacer) so my front offset is the stock 18x9 +15 at my original height i was lowered to on my bc coils i rubbed all the time every driveway, over deep bumps etc. Front tires are the stock 225/50. I didnt have time to go in and raise it up as i have no access to a garage anymore so i just had the fenders rolled which fixed the issue. I have since raised it up and dont rub or scrap on anything anymore thankfully:tup:..
The issue im having though is that no matching wheel setups have the offsets im looking for, everything seems to be too wide in the front and not wide enough in the rear. I personally dont like the fronts to stick out pass where the rears would so to prevent that i would need a front setup of 9.5 +20 to +25 and a rear of 10.5 +5 to +10 (Currently at 18x9 -10) a +12 would be the minimum I would run. Theres no way i could run the popular 18x9.5 +15 in the fronts without having issues if i was already having issues with an 18x9 on narrow tires and 18x10.5 +15 is just shy of being wide enough to look right with that front setup anyway and yet it seems every non custom staggered setup is this or really close to this.. My dream setup would be 18x9.5 +22 front and 18x10.5 +10 rear, WITHOUT Spacers which apparently doesnt exist anywhere. Please Correct me if im wrong or missing something or if im the only one that feels this way, just looking for suggestions or alternatives that might be close or anything at this point ive searched for hours now between two days and have nothing to show for it.

Contact Tom @ SpeedImageUSA

He is local to you, and is the largest Rays Wheels retailer in Norcal, maybe all of california judging from the pallets of te37's he gets on a weekly basis.

This dude stocks a ton of stuff and can get you anything from Rays/SSR/Works/other brands

I am fairly certain, for example, that Rays Gram Lights variants come in 18s and close to those sizes
Example of Gram Lights 57DR: https://www.rayswheels.co.jp/product...=en&wheel=57DR
Comes in 18x9.5 +22 and 18x10.5 +12, basically right what you wanted

tell him Jon sent you!

are you tracking your car, Fairlady_Zeto? Or just wanting the square setup?
Camber plays a huge role in selecting the proper offset wheels/ pending the occasion.
As for me (mostly straight line acceleration) I choose to run minimal negative camber-so a 18x9+15 would poke almost 1/2" on my Z...also,the stagger built in these cars would require a 25mm spacer on rear to sit in the same relationship to fender as front.
A lot of variables.
Go to [official 370z wheel fitment guide] pics specs only & take a peek at what other members are running & their camber setups.
Hope this helps. :)

Also Jason Tung @Getyourwheels is very knowledgeable & sells a variety of different ones.

I really appreciate the contact im relatively new to the area and dont know any shops out here yet so that helps alot.. Yeah those seem to be the only wheels I can find, other than TE37's which im trying to avoid just on the fact that it seems every z is running these or F14's lol No disrespect great wheels just wanna try something different.

Im only running the square setup to rid myself of the terrible offset and width of the factory base front wheels lol I do plan on eventually tracking my car once i get a few more supporting mods (oil cooler) which is why im trying to get the right offsets so i dont need to run spacers. Yeah ive got my camber down for the most part so its both function and form.. Yeah ive looked through every page of that thread already and got some good info just not exactly what i was looking for and most of them dont say if they rub or not or have enough info.. Also thank you for the contact as well i appreciate the help :tup:

Well Im let's see if this help haha! My last set of wheels was the Gram Lights 57DR. Best wheels I have installed on my soo far and Im planing on buy the again or move to the new Gram Lights 57CR. Anyway... the specs that of my Gram Lights 57DR was 18x9.5+12 & 18x10.5+22 (the offset arrive in +22 by a mistake) with 20mm spacers on rear. The front sit perfect with the 255/40/18 tires that I have up front... of course you have to give some camber, but nothing crazy... I have the Oem camber arms, etc. never rub on the fender or liners... they work perfect with the correct alignment. On the rear works perfect to... I use the 20mm spacers on the rear to make them flush with the Z body. The offset of the rear wheels suppose to be +12 too like the front. The specs of my rear tires was 285/35/18. I hope that helps something :tup: If you have any questions about my Gram Lights setup let me know... Those wheels are soo great that if I keep my Z, im going to buy them again hahhaa!:p

Call Tom anyways. I was just giving an example of a wheel that fits. He can hook you up with another design if you walk to him

Volk Racing makes the new CE28SL in 18x9.5 +22 / 18x10.5 +15. 3mm isnt that big of a difference honestly. You can go 57DR or 57CR as well. But the CE28SL will be much lighter.

Also not many people run CE28s on 370Zs. Will be something different ;)

https://c5.staticflickr.com/1/733/31...b99cb1cc_z.jpg

Won't be on stock wheels :ugh2:

I think i'll end up getting a set of CE28N/SL whenever I give up tracking my vehicle. I love that style.

Daaaamn! Finally! I love those wheels to but when I decide to buy wheels I never find them :( What is the price for those CE28?

Thats good to know.. And that did help a bit i appreciate your info ive been lurking on your build and setup it looks dope :tup: I dont think I would be able to run that wide in the front with my height but its good to know with proper adjustment and tires i can.

Yeah that would be really nice if i could afford a brand new set of CE28's lol which of course is my other issue :crying:

Thanks for your comment on my build bro! BTW I forget to tell you that my Z have the Swift Springs ;)

You may want to consider Wedssport wheels if you're looking for a nice 18x9.5/10.5 setup
They're authentic JDM wheels, and they're pretty reasonably priced and wont break the bank like some other options, and they're definitely less common than Forgestars or Rays

Their their link here for all sizes/colors/style options: WedsSport Wheels

For instance we can get the SA15R in a 18x9.5 +25 18x10.5 +12

Heres a 19x9.5/10.5 set of SA15Rs we installed for our 370Z customer

What size wheels and offsets for stock height
 

just curious how many of you guys are running stock ride heights. I don't want to lower my car but don't want a lot of empty wheel well space so what size wheels with a stock height

My current ride height is very close to stock. If I put the stock 19s back on, it will probably be at or a tad higher than stock:

Under load, there's alot of clearance:

http://i.imgur.com/zYrZwIeh.jpg

The car is this high b/c its nice not worrying about anything while daily driving.

I am no longer stock height but when i was i had the stock wheels spaced out and it gave the illusion of being lowered because there was less fender gap. I never rubeed or scraped and it looked really nice. See page 24 of this thread there is alot of stock height spaced out Z's (including mine:p)

amb89. That is a dope shot!! Love your Z man!

must. post. moar

must.. post.. moarrrr im worried to worry the wheels im looking at because of Sport Brake Clearance

what wheels are you looking for?

honestly, Whatever fits over the brakes without poking a lot or having to run spacers. I like the avante garde's that were posted a few pages back but that was a long time ago. I want to run a fat tire in the rear for straight line traction so im thinking about just going with the Enkei RPF1. 19x9.5 +22 in the front and then 17x10 in the rear with a street slick. but if i can find a nice set of staggered 18s that fit good without spacers I would like to go that route.

every set im looking at i try and search on google for an G or Z that has akebonos to see if they clear but there isnt much.

ive been considering all lightweight enkeis, rotary forged TSW's, ssr's, and a few work emotions.

It isn't that hard to find rims with the spec you need in 18s. The choices diminish and the price goes up if you want 11 or 12 inch wheels for the rear. You only need an offset of about +15 in the rear!

For the rear try to find a 18x10.5 or 18x11 in my opinion for a flush look with out using spacers. The offset for me... have to be lower than +20.

yeah i dunno why folks are complaining about option's in 18

you have a huuuuuge amount of tire options, any size/compound you want is available

gram lights, volk, weds, advan, enkei, work emotion series, ssr GT series
tons of options, all you have to do is . . . look

18's on a 370z
 

Not complaining about fitment or options.... I'm referring to caliper clearance. A lot of 18s out there won't clear our akebonos. Some pics in this thread do not clarify whether spacers were needed and some do. Just like the 10.5 rpf1 +38 won't clear akebonos.

Returning wheels can be a pain in the *** so it's hard to just pull the trigger without confirming caliper clearance.

My challenge is finding a wheel that won't poke in the front but still clear the caliper in an 18in. Then that wheel also needs to be offered as an 18x10.5 and around a +5 offset. I know, I know... I'm too picky lol

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You need to clarify fronts and rear offsets. I run nt01 +30 square. Fronts clear fine with no spacers rears I run a 15mm spacer making them +15. Spacers are not a big deal but if you don't there are a bunch rims that fit over sport brakes. You need to decide what wheels and size you want and then do some research on offsets. Heck you can even have a set of wheels made to whatever offsets you like.

Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

Yea I know haha all I was saying is the wheels I have liked haven't been put on our cars in the form of an 18 inch. Just posted hoping more people would post pics to help me make my decision.

Building a custom set of my liking still wouldn't guarantee caliper clearance either though lol. I'll figure it out though eventually. I'll probably purchase 1 wheel first just to test fit.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's why I ask U what are the wheels to verify if they fit or not.... My opinion is that the problem of the wheels that you want is the offset...

The Wedsport TC105n will clear the akebonos front and rear without spacers. My front offset is +22 which is pretty aggressive so I run spacers in the rear to even out the fitment. They also offer front in +15 or +12 I don't remember.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just considering all of my options right now. I posted too early lol so far I want the back to be around 18x10.5 +15. The front 18x9 +30 or so. I want my wheels to clear brakes but not poke too much. Just flush. Sorry for all the confusion. I've found a few wheels that I'm eying and I'll keep searching to see if I can find any akebono G's or Z's that can confirm fitment.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I need help! I want to know if i can this setup.
285/35/18 front and 295/35/18 rear... I install the 285/35 square but my rear wheels are 18x11 and the tires looks stretch. Any helps are going to be great. Thansk

You shouldn't have problems with 295 rear


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great! But I dont know what profile. If use the 295/35 or 295/30 to match the 285/35 that I use on front. I dont want hace problems with the damn tracktion control :(
