18's on a 370z

Verbal21

I like those wheels and I just checked Tire rack.com and the options it's giving me for the front are 18x9 and rear with 18x10.5, would that be right?

I would try to buy the wheels from a vendor who will let you pick your offsets. I just checked tirerack and the fronts are +45. Thats really high. The wheels will be sunk. I would shoot for a +20ish for the front. The rear sounds about as good as you will get with those wheels.

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

abm89

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:



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)

He is running 18x10.5 all the way around. I'm probably going to buy the same wheels but I'm thinking i'm going 9.5 +15 in the front. I'm going to order them from OAKOS Automotive - STi & WRX Performance Parts . They are a vendor on My350z but not sure about here. I've ordered from them before, great company.

Verbal21

oh ok, gotcha'. The prices on the OAKOS site look pretty good, maybe I'll give them a shot too. Just gotta do some more research on spacers, I'm complete noob on that stuff that the moment.

MJB

Well if you run a pretty aggressive offset like +15, you probably won't need any spacers.

Verbal21

Yeah, I noticed the offset on the set from OAKOS are +15. I guess I should be ok with that for daily driving, right?

MJB

I wouldn't see why not. I ran +15 on my RPF1's for my 350z with no issues. If I order the PF01's, I'm going +15 all the way around.

Verbal21

That's what I wanted to hear I would've reconsidered if there were any rubbing issues with that kind of offset, so I'm glad to know there won't be
