Nissan 370Z GT V6 Alloy Wheels

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. :thumbs:

Thanks, those look stunning.

 

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?

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. :)

Thanks for the explanation. :thumbs:
