Chris`I Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Digsy is right, standard 17" wheels are the same width all round, 8" IIRC. Rays are 8 and 8.5". I would go with a staggered setup though if you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan4 Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 i know the staggered setup works but thats with differing offsets, using the same offsets for equal width wheels is what im offered with the 5zigens I suppose the question is....Is anyone else running this setup I love the wheels its just a shame its not so simple as just buying them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there are many who run this sort of set up in the US. Try my350z.com or 350z-tech.com (search first or you will be flamed!) and see what those guys are running. Or PM Adam at Z1 Performance (one of our traders) - he will know and is a good guy so shouldn't mind giving out a little free advice.

I have a set in the garage that are staggered, 8 and 8.5, I stand corrected on the 1" difference!

Adam@Z1auto.com Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Aren't the standard (non-Rays) rims the same width all round? Nope, all wheels that come on the cars from Nissan are staggered by at least 1"... Thats why you have the little screw thing on the front hubs to stop you from putting the rear wheels on the front! no they aren't...at least not on US cars all the tires are staggered, but some trim levels have the same width wheels all around let us know what wheels you're after, as we're big dealers for 5Zigen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan4 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 yes i like them, all i was worried about was the same width and offset all round making them sit in the arches badly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
