Fluke Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Are there any issues with fitting wheels from a 370Z GT to a 350z? They are 19" 10j. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 These have been previously fitted, I'm sure there's a few posts with photos too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluke Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 What size spacers would I need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadtrip Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 You'd ideally want 20mm spacers on the front, none needed for the rear. The front tyres might also need changing to 245/35 instead of the 245/40 ones that the 370Z uses although I'm not sure if the original sizes will cause you problems with TCS or not. The wheel nuts are also different as they use a flat seat instead of the taper seat that's used with 350Z wheels. Look good though so worth the effort.

Looking around the standard 370z wheels seem to be rear 275/35R19 W 96 and front 245/40R19 W 94. Will a set of these go under the arches of a 350z without modification?

Will a set of these go under the arches of a 350z without modification? I'm sure that you'll have no problems at all fitting those tyre sizes under the arches unless you're seriously lowered, the question is over whether the traction control will like the front tyre size. The majority of people running 19" wheels on a 350Z including myself use 245/35R19 front, 275/35R19 rear as that's what's fitted to the Nismos and causes no trouble. The 350Z traction control expects the front tyre diameter to be a little less than the rear, whereas the 370Z has a front tyre that's a slightly larger diameter than the rear. This is where your problem could arise, using 245/35 and 275/35 means the front is 21mm smaller whereas 245/40 and 275/35 would mean the front is 3.5mm larger. My suggestion would be to try it and see what happens, if it kicks up a fuss then get some 245/35 tyres and sell the 245/40 ones on the forum to a 370Z owner.
