cmr1991 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Hi chaps... I am looking at these alloys to buy : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19-BLACK-CSL-ALLOY-WHEELS-FITS-LEXUS-GS300-/271019486354?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&fits=Model%3A350+Z&hash=item3f1a052c92 as you can see it says " NISSAN 350 Z 02 > ( CAUTION BREMBOS )" and then it goes onto say I need a "hub kit" Anyidea what hub in particular? will 25mm wheel spacers suffice? regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Just buy wheels that fit and don't need spacers /not_very_helpful_but_true 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 The offsets are weak for a 350z and in their standard guise they might not clear the Brembos, a 25mm spacer will help as it will bring the offsets down to 15... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aidan Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) FWIW...had same thoughts. Buy 19s in my price bracket but need spacers to clear brembos. OR settle on 18s , correct fitment, no spacers, but no hassles. Chose the second option. Have had too many problems previously with tyres touching, needing spacers, etc , etc. BUT Its up to you.

cmr1991 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 The price isnt an issue, I just liked the wheels and was wondering how to go about the hubcentric kit thing they mentioned.. if spacers would be fine or not. No doubt I can find some which are pretty simular, 19s, that fit correctly. I was planning on using spacers to push the wheels out into the arches anyway. Thanks for the advice folks.

aidan Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) If you can source a set with right ET, then they will sit out far enough...no need for spaces. And if cash isn't an issue...this would be your best bet. Just goggle 350z BBS alloys . Edited May 28, 2013 by aidan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Varrstoen do a similar style, I supply them. They are around double the price but least you know the quality and fitment is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRF4N Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Google 3SDM 0.01. Iv got a set of these going on my skyline this week, courtesy of CS on here. He gave me a great deal on 18s I'm sure they would have 19s suitable for a zed. Worth a PM to CS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmr1991 Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Brothers, Will 5x114 et45 fit with brembos? Edited June 1, 2013 by cmr1991 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Brothers, Will 5x114 et45 fit with brembos? What's the width of the wheels, 45 is a very weak offset for the 350z, this may not clear the Brembos... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Mitz what widths/offsets are the 3sdm wheels available in 19s? Here's how they look on mine (yes I'm a pic whore.......and proud) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the width of the wheels, 45 is a very weak offset for the 350z, this may not clear the Brembos... Only 8j With some 25mm rear spacers and 20mm front spacers should clear them, and look better in the arches than standard?

Could this be the first person not to catch Zeditus? I guess we'll find out after he's bought his first mod... I'm betting we see you at Wales next year.
