sjparker Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Hello all, First post on the forum as I'm just about to go and collect my 08 350z HR and one of the first things I'd like to do is change the alloys. It's been a while since I've done anything with cars so I apologise in advance for the noob questions. I'm looking at the Enkei Raijin as I really like the style but stuck between getting either the 18" or 19" inch versions. I prefer the 19" look and assume it will fill the arch better but also wondering if I'd have any fitment issues if I choose to lower the car later on? Which alloys of this size would it still be likely that I'd need to use spacers to fit flush with the edge of the car? Also, when it comes to tyres, what sizes would be limited to with the 19"? Any other thoughts or input on 18" vs 19" would be welcomed. Appreciate the help! Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I think we need more info before we can comment. Width ? Offset ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjparker Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 Thanks for the response. From what I can tell from Googling. This US site (https://www.proimporttuners.com/parts/2005-nissan/350z-enkei-raijin-wheels.html) seems to list the width and offsets that would fit for both the 18" and 19": Universal(18x8, 5x100, 35mm, Hyper Silver) Universal(18x8, 5x100, 45mm, Hyper Silver) Universal(18x8, 5x100, 45mm, Matte Black) Universal(18x8, 5x114.3, 40mm, Hyper Silver) Universal(18x8, 5x114.3, 40mm, Matte Black) Universal(18x8, 5x114.3, 45mm, Hyper Silver) Universal(18x8, 5x114.3, 45mm, Matte Black) Universal(18x8.5, 5x100, 45mm, Hyper Silver) Universal(18x8.5, 5x100, 45mm, Matte Black) Universal(18x8.5, 5x114.3, 35mm, Hyper Silver) Universal(18x8.5, 5x114.3, 35mm, Matte Black) Universal(18x8.5, 5x114.3, 38mm, Hyper Silver) Universal(18x8.5, 5x114.3, 38mm, Matte Black) Universal(18x8.5, 5x114.3, 50mm, Hyper Silver) Universal(18x8.5, 5x114.3, 50mm, Matte Black) Universal(18x8.5, 5x120, 38mm, Gunmetal Matte Silver) Universal(18x8.5, 5x120, 38mm, Hyper Silver) Universal(18x8.5, 5x120, 38mm, Matte Black) Universal(18x9.5, 5x100, 45mm, Hyper Silver) Universal(18x9.5, 5x100, 45mm, Matte Black) Universal(18x9.5, 5x112, 35mm, Hyper Silver) Universal(18x9.5, 5x114.3, 15mm, Matte Black) Universal(18x9.5, 5x114.3, 35mm, Copper) Universal(18x9.5, 5x114.3, 35mm, Hyper Silver) Universal(18x9.5, 5x114.3, 35mm, Matte Black) Universal(19x8, 5x114.3, 40mm, Hyper Silver) Universal(19x8, 5x114.3, 40mm, Matte Black) Universal(19x8, 5x114.3, 45mm, Matte Black) Universal(19x8.5, 5x114.3, 50mm, Matte Black) Universal(19x8.5, 5x120, 38mm, Hyper Silver) Universal(19x8.5, 5x120, 38mm, Matte Black) Universal(19x9.5, 5x114.3, 15mm, Hyper Silver) Universal(19x9.5, 5x114.3, 35mm, Matte Black) Really sorry for the stupid questions, beyond the listing of 18 and 19 how would I know which of the options is the best fit for my Zed?

Sim Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) https://www.willtheyfit.com Is worth a visit, put in current specs and compare them to the new specs, 370Z 19" GT Rays look great on a 350Z IMO, so I can't imagine other 19s not working.
