Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Look nice on the white Zed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 You planning on tracking with them on? Or keeping the Rays for that? The offsets aren't the best. 30 defo better than 35 though. Wouldn't fill the arch enough for my liking! I'd maybe speak to the traders here to see if they can get some in a decent offset. Also PM Andy (kudos Automotive) as he might do you deal on a nice Zed friendly wheel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R35LEE Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Are these the ones that Lexx has on his 313? Great looking rim but I would stick to 18" for track work Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT1703 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I may be in the minority but I'm not a fan of them. As Stew says even 30's wouldn't look chunky enough for my liking.... something in the low 20's seems to be the preferred offset for the Zed.

nixy Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 yeah Lexx has them on his - they look nice on white but they're not my fave wheels tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greekman Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 Which offset then plus 20mm spacers??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik54 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 If you like them that's all that counts - but hang around and wait for the right size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greekman Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 haha that was the point of the post...what is the right size??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Which offset then plus 20mm spacers??? Only 5mm in it either way chap, probably wont make much difference. But with 20mm spacers on already, I would go with 35mm I guess which makes the offset 15mm. Would look very aggressive. I believe Rays are a 35 offset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i could now i would go for 25mm spacers with the rays....so ET30 it is.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So given the new wheels are wider, with the same offset they will stick out slightly more, so I think with ET30 on the new wheels it will fill the arches very nicely!

Yeap! problem no2 they offer 235/35 front and 265/30 rears on 8.5j and 9.5j could i go for 255/35 front and 275/35 rears??? (i mean would they fit the rims?) ideally i would love 325/30 rears but i dont think they would fit the rims.... all sizes from tyre calc...

SunGodRA Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I have been thinking about a set of Dotz Enzo's for a while now - so I will be interested what sizes you will go for I seem to recall that Andy on here sells them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 for some reason they remind me 2 much of halfords wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greekman Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 Just got them!!!! 245/35/19 et30 front, 275/35/19 et30 rears with ps2s all round!!!! will be posting pics once fitted. In regards to sizes i went for nismo sizes that work for sure... i could go for 255/35 and 285/35 but i didnt want to risk unsettling the ESP (although it shouldnt)... more details http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Tires_%28FAQ%29 http://www.kouki.co.uk/utilities/visual ... calculator from the tyre calculator with nismo sizes you get a difference of -3mm in overall size before and after and with the 255/285 you get a difference of +3mm... in both cases the rear remains taller than the front which keeps the ESP happy. One difference is that with nismo sizes the speedo will show 0.3mph more at 30mph while with 255/285 0.1mph less.... However, the most important thing is that the 255/285 setup is more dangerous for aquaplaning and about 200 quid more expensive on ps2s!!!

introspect Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I don't think they swap the direction of the blades for the opposite side of the car so the left side will point in a different direction to the right side of the car. Not necessarily a problem, just need to be aware of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
