18's on a 370z

zguynate

Corbin that looks awesome! And man I thought I was the only one lol. Dont get me wrong, I love the 19's, however they are just so expensive.

Also there are WAY more options as far as 18s go. Almost every wheel you can get in 19 is available in the 18 inch as well. Then there are a few WedsSports that are only available in 18's. Enkeis, the Work Emotion line, etc. I do love the TE37's, CE28's, Work Meisters, Advan RS-D, etc but they are mostly around $3500 and up. Yeah I could save that money up over a few months but its hard lol. Plus that is around $1500 I could put else where, and still have a nice quality wheel.

I hear you on the side wall flex with a higher profile. I didnt even think about that. Right now there are 245/40 on my Works. That will probably suffice. It would look a little better if my Z were lowered just a tad more. Right now im on Swifts. I plan on getting coilovers in the future I just wanted something to close the wheel gap for now. Thanks for your input guys!

Anyone else with 18's feel free to post pics. Im interested in seeing all the combinations that you guys have come up with.

Its funny how a lot of people on here say 18's on our cars look to small. I think with the proper stance, and meaty tires, 18's look just as good IF NOT BETTER than 19s. Take CCastro's car for example

I ran 245's all around before, the after some measuring and calculations and tad bit more camber I threw on 275's and it looks 23123124132321324 times better

I looove it!

I'm thinking of going with these same sizes for my 18's but was wondering how 245/45/18 & 275/40/18 tires would look on my 18x9.5+22 front & 18x11+16 rear wheels?

Would it be ok to run a 275/40/18 tire on a 18x11 wheel or will it look too stretched?


I also like the fact that these tire sizes will stay true to OEM diameter at 26.7 each and since I'm already lowered more than enough on Coilovers with my current set up, I rather not go with a lower diameter tire.

Thanks.

Well bro, for the rear 18x11+16 wheels I don't recommend you anything less than 295... look what happen to me when I install a 285/35/18 tire in a 18x11 wheel.

the lip of the wheel was exposed.... With the 295/35/18 I fix the problem

Did you go with 275/40’s on the 18x11’s? Photos? I am debating the same thing right now.

looks cool, what are the offset specs of these wheels?

Ccastro drooool. That is sexy as hell! I'm glad I started this thread lol.

My Works are 18x9.5 +12 are super aggressive on front without spacers. I was really surprised lol. I wish I would have gotten a picture of the fitment.
