Volk GT-V's on 370z!
 
We have a customer who was nice enough to send us some pictures of his car rolling around on a nice set of GT-V's. We can get these wheels for you guys, but they will need to be special order as they are not in stock for the 370z. Enjoy!

+1 and a higher offset front....

Maybe with those two things it would look good.

B1nks 07-15-2009 09:05 PM

They are 19.9.5 +17 and 19x10.5 +15 with 245/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear. I know it desperately needs a drop but I gotta wait till I can save money for what I want first ! They actually look a lot better in person I get a lot of compliments at car meets, but I are teh sux at picture taking.

people are doing +35 offset fronts and these have +17 so any lower..iono..plus these clear BBK(or did on the 350) I plan on upping the tire sizes on the front and rear to at least a 255 front and at least a 295 rear.:driving:

azn370z 07-15-2009 09:14 PM

I think they sold you too low of an offset. Especially without a drop. Your front wheels stick out and it looks funny. I know people who have lowered their z can get away with a 22mm offset but I think 30mm is ideal.

B1nks 07-15-2009 09:28 PM

These were originally bought for a 350 and on that they fit great with rolled fenders. Apparently though on the 370 the rears can hold more but the fronts don't hold as low of an offset but we'll see. I tried selling them but people were offering 2300 including shipping and shipping would be 300 bucks so I would have gotten 2000 dollars for rims I received in March with practically new tires. Reason people were low balling is because dealership curb checked one and they got it fixed to where I can't even tell. So due to lowball offers I decided to try to make them work.

I'm actually surprised nobody has said anything about the police cars in the background yet haha

edeeZee 07-15-2009 10:08 PM

Those wheels are off the chains bro! I don't what some are talking about, when they say they're ugly. They're infinite x better than people who use bling bling chrome, thinking that a 370 is Escalade.

Zerafian 07-15-2009 10:09 PM

I was hoping you would put those on your 370 man. One reason I never went through with buying them was because with a drop and some spacers they would be great for your car....grats on finally putting them on man.

It seems the 370 forum members have different tastes then the 350 forums.

Thanks guys I appreciate the compliments. I really thought about/want some 19" 1pc. forged but I think these will work with the right size tires. I'm just worried about the offset on the front after getting the wider tires and a drop. Hope it works out !:driving:

As far as taste goes..they'll come around ! :tup:

The wheels were previously purchased for his 350z. We did not sell these to him for a 370z. Just thought I would clarify so nobody gets confused . :tup:

I'm a self proclaimed wheel whore/addict, but for some reason, I can't pinpoint what I'm not feeling about this setup.

There is just something slightly off... maybe it's just the pictures.

Zerafian 07-16-2009 11:37 AM

As far as Im concerned all you need is a good drop and around -2.5 camber set in the front and back. That should get the tires under the car a little. Just get some 20mm spacers to put in the back so its more aggressive.

Good deal, throw some pics up when you do. I was at work is why the cops are around. I took them at the P.D. parking lot before I headed out for the day.:driving:

B1nks -

dont listen to others uninformed advice on offset! You HAVE chosen the right offset for an agressive fitment on a LOWERED 370. The rears can even go out another 10mm or so. The look is deceiving now bc your car is at stock height...so everyone that doesnt know better says OMG you got the wrong offset blah blah. Once you lower the Z the wheels will tuck right in and be flush. I have noticed most guys on this forum go for weak offsets and end up with the "sunken in wheel syndrome" look lol.

Case in point, look at this guys setup with the same exact size/fitment as yours...when it was stock height it looked off, when lowered it tucked right in ---> http://www.the370z.com/members-370z-...-jasons-z.html

Thanks for the compliment Jmlenz ! We'll see how it turns out if I have them long enough. I have them up for sale 2k for the wheels and tires are 700 but it's mainly because I want something lighter or where I can fit more tire because I am concerned that I won't be able to fit the tire sizes I want without rubbing and ****..we'll see. ! Thanks for the props.

Easy does it! Didn't you folks ever tell you that if you have nothing good to say, then you shouldn't say anything.:tiphat:

Nice wheels, if your asking then yes it does need a drop. That doesnt say that it not sweet as it stands.:ughdance:
Nice ride!

Thanks Tommyguns, I know it needs a drop. I just had the pick posted to let other people see how it would look since there aren't a whole lot of pics with wheels on 370z.:driving:
