Also regarding 19's on a track car, most grassroots racers try to stay away from anything larger than 18's for the following reasons...

More limited tire choices than 18's
Cost of tires and wheels
Cannot rotate tires with the stagger of most 19's
Weight
Did i say cost?
Oh yeah and cost

Hey you need to add the cost to your list!

And the Z is more balanced with 18s and a square setup. All the GT4 and Grand Sport race cars are setup with 18 square.

My ADD kicked in lol. An excellent point, the car rotates far better with the square setup! With the stagger it was understeer city for me!

everything else looks sad to me. even the stock nismos come with 19's

Anyone know the specs and tire size?

My 18’s are going back on just for winter use;
As mine doesn’t sit unless weather is poor...drive 3-400 mlles per week.
19’s going back on in the spring w/fresh PSS’s on it.

OptionZero · 01-05-2018, 03:22 PM

I have always said 18s for track are best for all the reasons you mentioned. Superior tire choices at better prices

i just think they look terrible, which is why i'd recommend 2 sets
20's for street
18's for track

Must be nice!

carlitos_370z · 01-08-2018, 01:29 PM

I just want to change the front wheels setup of my Z

I have the 18x9.5+22 Enkei RS05RR and I want them in 18x10+22

But definitively I preferred the 18" for track

If I buy another set of wheels in the future are going to be in 19" but are going to be more for the look department lol!

OptionZero · 01-14-2018, 10:49 PM

Enkei NT01RR
18x10.5 front
18x11 rear

295/40/18 (i believe all around)

I couldn't find the exact offsets, but i am confident they are whatever the lowest Enkei offers for those wheels

I bet his camber is close to -3 and -2

carlitos_370z · 01-15-2018, 05:47 AM

The lowest offset for the 18x11 is +16 and for the front you can go with the 18x10+22... You have to make sure you are buying the R face if you want that look.. Dont make my same mistake ordering the 18x9.5+22 for the front... They look good but it is not what I want

Im going to buy the 18x10+22 for the front later to have the look that I want

Just received my CE28SL's in 18x10.5 +15 square

Went with 275/40 RS4 tires all the way around. Should *hopefully* be here tomorrow. Pics as soon as they're on the car.

Always loved the SLs. I really like that the gunmetal paint covers the lip and the machining is on the very outside of the wheel.
