sub'd... 18's are the best size for 370z's in my opinion. I would never want anything else. ;)

So what would be considered the “best” specs for 18s? I’m looking for a nice flush fitment. I know I want staggered so would 9.5 and 10.5 fit well? With what offsets?

+22/+12 should be fine in 9.5/10.5

I ran my nismo wheels at 19x9.5 +20/19x10.5 +8

A 19" wheel, but just to get a sense of the offset

Will a 9.75” wheel fit on 295/35/18? +20 offset

LOL, your question sounds like you have been drinking! And to answer your question a 295 35 18 tire will fit on a 18x9.75 +20 wheel!!!

I think it was more how he asked the question about the tire size for me. Not familiar with the sizing but I have seen the wheels.:tup:

Bswanny 08-09-2018 09:10 AM

Not to get off topic but does anyone in here run 18s up front, 19s in the rear? I know my old 350Z GT had Ray's that we're stock oem 18 front 19 rear and loved it

I run 19s in front and 20s in the rear so same concept? I've seen maybe one other guys run 19s in front and 18s in the rear and that looked great as well (reminded me of the first iteration of the JUN Akira Supra that ran an 18F/17R double-stagger).

Very cool. Any pics of your car? I think it's.the best of both worlds as the front deals with the bumps so the extra sidewall helps

Silver is mine and to not stray too far off topic, the red car is owned by a member of a 370 group on, on facebook so don't want to take credit.

Silver = 19F/20R
Red = 19F/18R

OptionZero 08-10-2018 05:04 PM

I really don't see why anyone would go 18 when the factory provides different 19 inch options. The body itself has big enough arches that it takes an 19 or 20 to fill them up properly visually

there are reasons to use 18 on the track, obviously, but most folks aren't tracking

so it comes down to folks cheaping out

danegrey 10-18-2018 02:57 PM

noob on 18s, I like the 19s and the originally rays, but I need to get winter tires and want to have another set of wheels for them, so I was thinking about 18s.

But after reading some of this thread, I get a little confused if I can do it. I have sports package brakes, and I added the Z1 370Z / G37 (Sport) Brake Upgrade Package.

So will I have trouble with 18s or should I just stay with the 19s.

Thanks for the help

OptionZero 10-18-2018 03:41 PM

You talking about this Z1 package?
https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-pro...ge-p-4490.html

All it does is upgrade the lines, rotors and fluid. Doesn't change how the brake calipers fit within the wheels

Anyone run cosmis 206R? From what I’ve found the 18x9.5 will fit the front just like my 19” rays with a 20mm spacer I have now. And the 18x11 will fit the rear the same as well. Just curious if anyone has, and what tire sizes to run. Thanks!

OptionZero 12-02-2018 02:12 PM

look at the offset and width of the wheel you want to buy

compare to stock wheel

viola, you magically (or . . . through math) can tell how it will fit

or even easier - read this thread and copy the setup you like

From what I understand, none of the 18 inch Cosmis wheels will clear the Akebonos, due to the barrel. I would verify again with a vendor, but that's what I was told by Coz at CZP in 2016.

Absolutely correct. 18" snow tires are cheaper than getting 20". Why would I get a nice set of 20" wheels and rubber to beat up in the winter?

But also I take into account that the ride quality is better on 18" snow tires than 20"s. Especially in these pothole infested winter cities. :icon17:

Everyone has reasons for different applications.

Nice car! You should get some coilovers to really make it look aggressive!

Bswanny 01-30-2019 12:56 PM

Anyone have or had Gramlight 57CRs on there Z? I can't find any pics of what they would look like. Search function sucks on here if looking for pics

Do you know if those are 18s?

Thats not my car. its just something that popped up google and happens to be an official pic from Rays, the manufacturer. Its even on the product page:

RAYS - The concept is racing. [en]

Guessing its a 19 given the way the brakes sit in it. Pretty average fitment, the most aggressive is 19x10.5 +12 which is what i would run in the front.

19x9.5 +25 and 19x10.5 +12 would be super easy fitment, no work required. Not nearly aggressive enough for me

The Nismo clubsport 23 has 57CR in square setup 18x10.5 with 285/35/18.

That looks incredible, I think that 18's with the right fitment (and coilovers) are great looking on the Z34 platform.

I think 18s doesn't look that good until you drop the car.
