ab20000 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Does anybody know if these wheels are available as 19"? Most websites only seem to stock 18's and 20's. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Kev @ Envy is an Ultralite dealer, give him a call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Nope, Ultralite only make them in 18 and 20 Check their official website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab20000 Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 Just seem that - that is annoying, they don't seem to make any 19's. 19's fit the 350 best in my view. 20's just to big (and expensive on tyres) for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Aye, not a single set of 19"'s on there. I know this as I like quite a few of the ultralite designs, and was a little peeved when I couldnt get them in 19"s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab20000 Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 Agreed they have plenty of good designs. Looks like a missed opportunity on their part to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Just the Evolves in 19's.... They have some nice wheels and at a good price too... Shame as 19" fit the best.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Ruff Racing R278 Axis Matrix Or you could go for the daddys... The Volk GT-V or GT-M Think there are a few other companies like RacingHart that make something close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ab20000 Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 I do like the Nismos but don't quite think they are wide enough and don't fill the arches as well as some others, is there any way to get them to look more like 10.5 back / 9.5 front?

Two options. Spacers - perhaps 10mm. Or get the 9.5/10.5 sizes - they are available but don't ask me how you get your hands on them or price.

ab20000 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 I can imagine they'd not be cheap - are there any know problems with using spacers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Its not just about the wheel width, its about the offsets. If 10.5 at the rear is the wrong offset it could still sit in the wheel arch. I think the optimum offset your looking for is about a +22 Dont seem to be that many problems with spacers, but if you ca get away without using them its prob better... check out http://z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseacti ... gory_id=41 as there are loads to chose from on there...

Mmmmmmmm http://z-store.co.uk/product/put_pics/p ... ck_703.JPG I suggested spacers because he was saying he wanted the Nismos. I agree with you that if looking at other wheels the offset is key and its always better to get the right offset than fudge it with spacers. On the other hand, provided you get good hubcentric spacers from someone like Eibach you should be fine. For all the old wives tales about additional wear on the wheel bearings I'm yet to actually find someone who has had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with Digsy said Didnt someone have issues with non hubcentric ones? There was certainly some problem and everyone naturally blamed the spacers. Can't remember what the outcome was but the non-hubcentric ones are definitely to be avoided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab20000 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Can anybody post pics of some wider 18's on the 350? It's not really the size of the wheels that I don't like on the standard Rays it's the width, they just don't seem to fill the arches wide enough.

ab20000 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 looking to post a reply here with photos - can somebody please tell me how to do this? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Have you got a photobucket account? You can use that or if it's an internet pic just right click, properties and copy the address then surround that with the IMG codes in the post reply and make sure there is nothing after jpg. Or if that's too complicated and my explanation sucks then give it to me to do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab20000 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hopefully there is a photo above! I am looking at these in 18" - what width do you think this is running? 9.5" all round? Also anybody have any clue on the offset? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 You did it right, I found a bunch before with the code starting i didn't display. Needs to be s. I sound like a geek. I'm not. Nice wheels, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab20000 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Yeah I think the bronze would look good on a silver 350z - just need to make sure the widths and off-sets are correct. I assume I'll need to lower it as well? Anybody know by how much to acheive the best look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Absolutely. Eibach springs are decent and are good value. Or for full on coilover action a set of KW variant 3s seem to be the mutts nuts. I'd go very aggressive if running 18s offset wise to make sure the arches are filled and the correct look is achieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Work CR Kai - the mutts nuts IMHO. This guy has gone 9.5 with a +20 offset all round and a drop. Looks . http://www.my350z.com/forum/north-west/ ... -only.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
